hi

i have been using mushclient for a while now and upgraded to the newest version i was using 2.15.8

i got a few of my friends to change to mushclient but they are having trouble with their colors

in version 2.15.8 i could go into world configuration then appearance then to highlighting and change all the boxes to no change and so my colors would be the colors sent from the mud now when i upgraded i am assuming my colors stayed the same cause i upgraded
but for my friends they tell me almost everything is blue and they want their colors to be the ones sent from the mud (some of them have custom prompts that they want the colors to be the same for)

so could you please tell me where in the new version this option is?

thanks alot

There are some triggers set by default that use regexps to set the output color to blue. This confounded me for a day or so. Just turn off or delete these triggers and your output should be more manageable.

I had the same problem with nearly everything in blue, and i eventually found the triggers and removed them

This is indeed a feature (problem?) with MUSHclient. When it was originally written, for MUSHes, they had chat channels like this:

<newbie> How do I find the Town Hall?

These lines were coloured in blue to make them stand out. This is now done by a trigger that matches on:

< something > something

However a lot of MUDs use a similar format for indicating hit points, eg.

<10hp 20mv 40m> blah blah

Thus, those lines are coloured in blue by default.

As you have noted, remove the default triggers to stop this happening.
