Reformatting incoming and outgoing pages.

I've started using MUSHclient as my only portable way to access MU* games. But there's a few 'features' from home that I have come to rely on that I need MUSHclient to do, so I'm really hoping someone can give me a hand to get it working.

I've actually sorted out most of my problems by searching the forum. One that still escapes me, is how to reformat one particular thing.

I use Atlantis at home on my Mac, and whenever someone pages me in the game, or I page them, it shows up on my screen stripped of all ansi colors and then reformatted as bold yellow ansi (not bold, but bright.. you know..).

I can't figure out how to recreate this, and I know almost nothing about scripts, programming, or commands...

Someone help me out?

Sounds like you have a trigger that matches on chats. Try open triggers configuration and unchecking "Enable Triggers". If that helps, enable them again and work out which one is doing it.

Or, it might be a plugin.

Okay. I did some looking, and I found out that in Atlantis, it's using Highlight settings to change the appearance of the pages I receive.

Is it possible to recreate these four settings in MUSHclient? If so, how do I do it? The "matches regexp" one looks really complicated to me. Remember I have no experience with this stuff. At all.

The quick response is MUCH appreciated, Nick.

Yeah, those are easily done. Go to the trigger dialog (shift-ctrl-8 or file|world properties|triggers) and hit add. Check 'regular expression' on the right, as well as 'keep evaluating'. Where it says 'change colour and style to' choose yellow on black. Then for the regexp one you'd just put that exactly as it is in the 'trigger' box at the top - it's already in regex. For each of the 'begins with' you would put them in just how they are, with one change. Start them off with a circumflex. (^). That means start of line, in regex.

Thank you very much for the help. I managed to get it working, though I did have to modify what you said slightly...

For each one, since it wasn't a "begins with" option, and they were all like that fourth one... I had to add the (.*) to the end like the other ones had... that finally got them working right with a little tweaking of spacing and stuff.

I REALLY appreciate the help. I have MUSHclient working just the way I like it now.

THANK YOU!
