| After a few days of trying to get ROM /WITH/ colour(including GhostMUD, which almost worked save a glitch wherein it wouldn't recognize level 60+ char's as Imm's) to compile under CygWin, I'm asking for help.
Does any kind soul have sources for ROM with colour a la Lope's? I don't care if it has OLC or not (that's a mere detail), I just want my users to be able to insert their own colours. Plenty of MUD's have colour for building and help files, but I'm at a loss to find or create true full-colour for everyone.
It's either ask for the source, or ask for someone who knows how to apply Lope's patch by hand.
Either way, thanks in advance.

2. Didn't compile
3. Didn't run

| To get my mind off things, I attacked this problem from a new vector: Versions.
I had been applying Lope's patch to ROM2.4b6, since the dates in Lope's files were later than the release date in the ROM2.4b6's README.version file. I even finally got it applied by hand, which was easy when I stared at the patch file format for a long time.
The problem was, after compiling, I had StuttusutututterMUD. That is, when you turned colour on (via the 'colour' command), the MUD would show something like...
ccocolcolocoloucolourcolour colour ocolour oncolour on colour on
Now, looking closely at that, it appears to me that as each character is being checked for colour, it is being sent to the character as well (instead of just kept internal in memory or whatnot).
Just this morning, I d/l'ed ROM2.4b4 and applied the patch (Lope's coloUr v2.0)... no problems! Everything went A-OK, and I no longer had StututttutterMUD.
So now this thread is more of a notice--if you find problems applying Lope's coloUr to vanilla ROM, try applying it to a previous version.
Thanks for being so active of a head of this little community, Nick. ^_^

| | I initially tried with 2.4b6 and got some patch errors, so I went back a couple of versions, which is what I got to work. |

| Okay I have just loaded all of the files etc. My friend emailed me some of his areas and everything and I am not that great with ROM. I got it to get the areas from F:/1/area (my folder for ROM areas) and after two lines the ROM turns off and exits. How do I fix this problem and what is happening. I dont have enough time to read what is being typed by ROM because it exits before I have time to read it. Any help is great thanks.

| | I would open a command window, rather than just double-clicking on rom.exe. Then the window will stay open and you can see what the error message is. |

| Sounds like a problem with immort/are (or it it immort.are?).
Try posting the first dozen lines from that file. |

| Looks like a newer format area file. Here is an example from midgaard.are, you can see the first few lines are different, in particular you need AREA rather than AREADATA ...
#AREA

It sounds like all your friend's areas are like that. You will need to fix all of them. Presumably this error now occurs in a different area as you are no longer using immort.are.

| A few notes RE: GhostMUD....
1) In the instructions it says there is a yahoogroup had this question been posted there i would have answered MUCH sooner.
2) GhostMUD out of the box has 110 levels not 60 so a level 60 character is not an immortal.
There you go :-)
Besides that the color/olc and other changes work fine and on the yahoo group are the only 2 known issues or bugs.
