Default Colors

[Jor'Mox]

Is there a way to get access to the colors in settings, so, for instance, you can always make something the same "light red" that the user sees when they get "light red" text from the game? I can obviously capture my own colors and store them in with the rest of the colors (and those are the default colors, so I'm sure they will work for most people) but once someone changes what their color settings are, then using those colors will no longer match.

It's not possible to access that from Lua right now.

Thanks, I guess I'll just stick with what I have for now then. Is it just my imagination, or can you pull the colors for the mapper in Lua (which are also able to be adjusted in settings)?

[Vadi]

I think you can make use of them by setting the environment IDs, but not actually retrieve the values.

The idea of user defined colors is that users can override script or game settings.

[Jor'Mox]

Exactly. I don't want to be able to change them, I want to be able to use those colors so that my script uses their color scheme.

This may or may not help

You can make use of them like I mentioned, you just can't retrieve the colors. See http://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:Lua_Fun ... omEnvColor and setRoomEnv(). Here's an example from one of the mapping scripts:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

  mmp.envids =
  {
		beach = 11,
		shallowwater = 4,
		river = 4,
		water = 4,
		["deep water"] = 4,
		bridge = 6,
		ocean = 4,
		underground = 8,
		cliffs = 1,
		mountain = 1,
		plains = 3,
		forest = 2,
		road = 6,
		urban = 8,
		building = 13,
		tundra = 7,
		swamp = 2,
		jungle = 10,
		desert = 11,
        highway = 6,
        path = 6,
  }

  for name, number in pairs(mmp.envids) do
    mmp.envids[name] = number+256 -- adjust for in-built colors
  end

Thanks for the advice. I think for now I'll stick with tempColorTriggers used to capture each color as it first appears and then append it to the color table for later use. So, it will have my default values initially, and then have their default values ones the mud sends them any text using that ANSI color code.
