Chatlines of 3 Kingdoms
3K has a lot of different ways for players to communicate with each other. There are public lines such as shout or flapchat, private lines like tell and linktell. Beyond this lines can be guild specific, hobby specific or dozens of other possibilities. Some are on by default, while others you have to opt in to. Using ANSI to color these lines can make life a lot easier for identifying them. At any time you can see which lines you are tuned into by typing <chatlines>
.

How do I change colors?
<help mudansi>
SYNTAX: See Below
Three Kingdoms now has color that can be used by players if they
so desire. It is also fully configurable by each and every player.
This is done with two commands: 'ansi' and 'aset'.
NOTE: Instead of using aset you can also use 'setcolor' which
uses the exact same syntax and does the exact same thing.
Also, 'mudansi' can be substituted for the 'ansi' command.
If you wish to use color the first thing you will need to do is
type 'ansi on'. The ansi command supports the following syntax:
Command: | Notes: |
---|---|
ansi on | Enables configurable ansi. If it is disabled none of your ansi settings will be used but they aren't lost. They're still saved and will be used as soon as you type ansi on. |
ansi full | This is just like ansi on except the entire line(s) |
ansi off | Disables configurable ansi settings. This is useful if you find yourself on a terminal that doesn't support ansi. Instead of wiping all your settings merely disable them instead. |
ansi wipe | Removes ALL of your ansi settings. |
ansi default | Installs the default color scheme |
ansi colors |
Display all your standard colors, what they look
like on your monitor and what their settings are.
These colors can be used with the set command (see below). |
ansi <color> | Shows the value of a specific color. |
ansi <col> <val> | Changes the value of one of you standard colors. Red or whatever may have a different value on your terminal so this can be useful. |
Certain commands and output has been specifically set up to be
colored. This is done by setting certain variables. Variables
go in pairs. There is always a prefix variable and a suffix
variable. The prefix variable is used to turn color on and the
suffix is used to turn it off. Prefix variables end in _pref (eg
tell_pref) and suffix variables end in _suff (eg tell_suff).
On most peoples terminals the color 'reset' will turn off ansi. If not I suggest you find out what code does and then type 'ansi reset <code>'.
Please direct any comments, bug reports or problems to Raven.
See also: ansivars, aset, setcolor.
Example
Let's say you want to turn the shout line blue:
-
<chatlines>
to see what the ansi variable is. (It's just 'shout'.) -
Next, type
<ansi colors>
to see what the colour name is for the blue you want. (It's 'hiblue'.) -
Last, type
<aset shout hiblue>
. Now your shout line should look like this -
Fluffy shouts: get his lucky charms!
