once again seek out help in gammon

ok so the nmotd is for people who first make a character right........well i made it but when it shows up all they get is a blank screen and they have to hit the enter buttons a few times before seeing anything so whats up with that

If you can highlight the screen and see there are words there, but it looks empty because of the color being black its a color issue and you should update the color code. If not then might just be empty files and needs something put in them.

ok yeah its a color issue although i am not sure how to fix it, it is my asci screen hiliughted so how would i fix that because i never changed any colors in the first place i dont even know where i would change the colors

try downloading a new copy of smaugfuss and replace your current imc.c file with the updated one. It was a slight issue in loading up the default color file and there for it sets people's color display to black for everything. You should probably do most of the questions about smaugfuss etc... at the SmaugFUSS forums. As well as find alot of fixes etc... for some issues that are found in the code as they are found.

Just to avoid possible confusion, the imc.c file has nothing to do with smaug's color. You'd want to be sure color.c is updated to the correct version.
