First - the color: having color toggled _off_ means the colors are stripped before being sent to the player.
Second. This is so embarassing. Apparently a piece of code from the old Cruel World MUD still survives here. At the time we allowed players to player kill, but flagged them when it happened. I think this needs to be fixed. First off - for your case, just add this check to do_hit:
Code:
ACMD(do_hit)
{
char arg[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
struct char_data *vict;
one_argument(argument, arg);
if (!*arg)
send_to_char(ch, "Hit who?\r\n");
else if (!(vict = get_char_vis(ch, arg, NULL, FIND_CHAR_ROOM)))
send_to_char(ch, "That player is not here.\r\n");
else if (vict == ch) {
send_to_char(ch, "You hit yourself...OUCH!.\r\n");
act("$n hits $mself, and says OUCH!", FALSE, ch, 0, vict, TO_ROOM);
} else if (AFF_FLAGGED(ch, AFF_CHARM) && (ch->master == vict))
act("$N is just such a good friend, you simply can't hit $M.", FALSE, ch, 0, vict, TO_CHAR);
+ else if (!CONFIG_PK_ALLOWED && !IS_NPC(vict) && !IS_NPC(ch))
+ send_to_char(ch, "No player killing here, please!\r\n");
else {
if (!CONFIG_PK_ALLOWED && !IS_NPC(vict) && !IS_NPC(ch) )
check_killer(ch, vict);
if ((GET_POS(ch) == POS_STANDING) && (vict != FIGHTING(ch))) {
if (GET_DEX(ch) > GET_DEX(vict) || (GET_DEX(ch) == GET_DEX(vict) && rand_number(1, 2) == 1)) /* if faster */
hit(ch, vict, TYPE_UNDEFINED); /* first */
else hit(vict, ch, TYPE_UNDEFINED); /* or the victim is first */
WAIT_STATE(ch, PULSE_VIOLENCE + 2);
} else
send_to_char(ch, "You're fighting the best you can!\r\n");
}
}
