Is there any way to apply a color to strings you have WinTin display locally but not send to the MUD? I’m interested particularly in #showme and #substitute, although I’d assume it works the same throughout the script language.
Thanks!
Hi …
If you using wintin95, no about #showme, no clue about #substitute (dont use it). If you using wintin.net, there is something in the work/working(?) about #showme, no clue about #subsitute.

Thanks! I am indeed using WinTin.NET, so I’ll look for that.
In case you meant that you don’t know what #substitute does, it just replaces the first string with the second string, which is useful for highlighting spellbooks you need, etc.
ex:
#substitute {legendary golden trefoil leaf} {»>legendary golden trefoil leaf«<}
Then, if you do a list at T&D, instead of seeing:
50 legendary golden trefoil leaf
You’ll see:
50 »>legendary golden trefoil leaf«<
Obviously you can just put the name of the spell in instead of the book’s name, but you still need to know the name to be able to get the book :-P
there is a sample at www.wintin.org:
