Under world configuration -> MXP there is an option to have MXP always on.
Use MXP/Pueblo: Yes - always
If that doesn't fix it you could make an Alias to use the Simulate function to force through the MXP negotiation.
I will look into this. Always on does not resolve the issue. Could you provide potentially a super Cliff Notes on Simulation? I'm gonna go skulking in documentation so.
Edit: Okay quick look I see that I can easily set the Alias but I am ignorant when it comes to Lua and stuff. Possible to drop a brief line that I can alias to a button for simulating the MXP protocol connection?
Having MXP on should work, but maybe it is waiting for a command to turn "open" mode on, let me look into it.
Try typing this in the Immediate window:
Simulate ("\027[6z") -- turn on permanently open mode
Also try turning on MXP debugging mode, and see if the debugging output has any clues.
I am waiting for another instance to try but I will edit this commentary once I have some Data. I've got debug on The Lot for now - for all the information I can get. I have MXP set to always on. I'm gonna try the simulate line as well and test that. Will report.
Edit: Okay after a soft reboot I still have no color. And now it seems I have the same thing. With the line set into the Immediate window and MXP always on, and debugging set to The Lot - I still have no color showing through for HTML> Xterm and ANSI still seem to show appropriately.
Log Stuff.txt Here is most of the text output for my most recent log look. There's definitely some drop of MXP somewhere though I can't make much heads or tails.
What MUD is it? I'll make a test character and see if I can reproduce.
anything that forces a sof-reconnection without a hard D/C seems to drop the MXP protocol stuff for HTML straight off. ANSI and XTERM colors will still show in output, but HTML will not
Do you mean:
Game is HavenRPG.net : 3000
EDIT: It may be relevant to note that colors are prefixed with the backtick / tilde symbol ( ) so a color might like thusly. (
)w for regular white. ()W for bold, for ANSI etc. HTML would be - (
)FHFHFH and so on. (minus the brackets of course)
No color gets shown but no color tags either. The ANSI (w, W,b,B) etc. these still work. Xterm 1-255 still works properly and displays. The HTML does not show the 6 character codes or anything it just does not process the color.
Is the server even sending the HTML codes? After a soft-reconnection, please turn on Packet Debug (Edit Menu -> Debug Packets) and see if you can see any MXP codes in the information displayed in the debug window. Turn packet debug off afterwards to avoid slowing the client down.
Hey there!
I don't know if these get looked at, but I thought I would drop this here in case.
I play a MUD that uses MXP for HTML color coding. (It's a mess they also shove in basic ANSI and XTERM by number as well) However, when the MUD soft crashes, or reboots anything that forces a sof-reconnection without a hard D/C seems to drop the MXP protocol stuff for HTML straight off. ANSI and XTERM colors will still show in output, but HTML will not. The only solution is to kill the connection and re-connect manually in order to get it to re-establish the protocol.
Is there a way to resolve this that I am unaware of?
