I remember reading somewhere that you added 256 colour support the the client, whats required on the server end to complete this chain, just the ability to send the correct codes? or do you need to add some other magic under the bonnet.

On about page 3 are screendumps of the colours.

Thanks Nick, now to add a subset of the 256 colours to my mud, for use in maps and stuff..

I don't think AnsiNote supports these colours, however they are supported if they arrive from the server, eg.


for i = 0, 255 do
  Simulate (string.char (27) .. '[0m' ..
   tostring (i) .. " - " .. 
   string.char (27) .. '[48;5;' .. tostring (i) .. 'm' .. "TEST\n")
end

And try in the command window:


/Debug ("colours256")
