Question Possible bug in color handling.

In a previous topic I was given this advice about turning color off.

Colors can be set to default off by changing these lines: github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/f6339b495e...src/db.c#L3584-L3585
Having color toggled _off_ means the colors are stripped before being sent to the player.

This advice did work and the command toggle color reports "Your current color level is off."

However, I still have an issue. If I do a command such as "help gold"  the last line has this "␛[0;00m"

I believe that the issue is that the code that strips the colors from a message to a player does not handle the "\tn" that was added to stop color bleed. For example:
/* Also send a \tn - to make color stop bleeding. - Welcor */
send_to_char(d->character, "%s\tn", d->showstr_vector[d->showstr_page]);

Hi gbcs!

I wasn't able to reproduce this. I use Mudlet normally, but tried on a local telnet terminal too. You mentioned previously connecting via a web browser which could be a factor.

Based on your troubleshooting you could test something like:

modify.c

void show_string()
line 534

ps: you'll need to add this to the includes at the top of the file, around line 29 
#include "screen.h" 

First, thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, you are unlikely to see the problem, unless you connect from a social media site that does not support any color or has their own color scheme.

I think your code will fix my issue. Thank you. I will test it and post the result.

The code change fixed my issue.

Thanks again.
