Hello,

If I want five words, each in a different color, but in a single pose, how do I do that?


Thanks.

Isn't this more of a mud-specific thing, rather than a client-related one?

No. I want to know how to have the mushclient highlight different names in different colors in a same pose. (for example, tw different colos for two different characters, mentioned in the same pose.)

Are you trying to do this when you send the poses or when you get em from the mud? Sending them is trivially easy, changing them in received text is somewhat difficult and requires large amounts of scripting. There are also a great many examples in the various threads on how to colorize text after its been received.

If all you want to do is colour *incoming* messages to show particular people that is very easy. You can make a trigger like this:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   custom_colour="17"
   enabled="y"
   match="Kaeawin"
   regexp="y"
   repeat="y"
   sequence="100"
   other_text_colour="yellow"
   other_back_colour="teal"
  >
  </trigger>
</triggers>


This will highlight the word "Kaeawin" (eg. your friend) on any incoming line in yellow-on-teal colour. You can then add additional triggers to highlight different people in different colours.

If you want to highlight different people in the *same* colour you can "or" them together like this:


match="Kaeawin|Legiradfrid|Tiadus"


This would highlight any of those three names.
