A guide to using zMUD to write descriptions:

Setup zMUD to use the SK MUD colours

Click on the menu item, View > Preferences > Colors.
Expand the tree item named 'Colors' and click the 'Color Syntax' child.
Fill in the boxes like those shown below with the same values:

This will set zMUD to use the colours the MUD uses to display the colours you use in your description editor.

Use the zMUD Editor to write descriptions

If you hold down CTRL+SHIFT and press ENTER the zMUD Editor will be loaded, alternatively you can access it from the menu, Windows > Editor.

Type your description using the Editor...

Send your description to the MUD

Once your description is completed, go into the MUD, type 'desc' and type '.c' to clear the current description.

Then go back into the editor and click the 'Send' button on the toolbar. Then back into the MUD, type the @ sign and press enter to complete the description sending. (Now would be a good time to save the description from the Editor)

The result sent to the MUD will include your ASCII escape codes to reform your description exactly as you saw it (colours may be slightly different) in the MUD. Like this:



Have fun and don't blame me if it doesn't work.
