Echo Colour changed to no change bug

I wished to change my echo colour to "No Change" - it works fine during the session but writes the value of " echo_colour="65536"" to the World file upon save. When I reload the world file, I get an error:
Line 39: Value '65536' too large in numeric attribute named 'echo_colour'. Range is 0 to 16. (option 'echo_colour' not set)


Manually changing the XML file to a value of 0 works fine, but didn't give the results I quite expected, unless this color I'm now seeing is my MUD's default input color.

Which version are you using? It seems to work OK on the latest one. I seem to recall fixing that a few versions back.

I am using 3.32. The way I can reproduce this is to have the default selected, then go in and change it to "No Change". When I save, close the World and then Reopen it, I get the error.

Thanks!

It seems I must have been dreaming when I thought it worked. I agree it behaves the way you describe.

I suggest as a workaround you just set it to an acceptable colour.
