Color rendering difficult (or impossible) to read #27

I believe this may be a 1.3 vs 2.0 and greater issue (and I am using Amiga os 3.1.4) however: Once connected (to irata.online port 8005,) the colors are redefined.

For the login page, the text is red on green. Once logged in a guest, the screen seems blank - but hitting enter (next) seems to have entered the game menu, which then changes the screen to bright blue with gold text; however the palette shows that the first color is gold, the second grey, the third red, fourth bright green, fifth bright blue, sixth and seventh black, and the last white.

This seems different from my experience with the c64 Plato terminal, as well as what I recall from College where we had a Plato terminal. (Mind you, I think that was a green only monitor.)

(3.1.4 is the new Amiga OS that came out 6 months ago. I can test on 3.1 to determine if that is the issue, if no one else experiences this.)

Red on green text indicates that you are processing TELNET escape sequences. If you are using something like telser.device, you need to ensure that it is set up to IGNORE ALL TELNET ESCAPE SEQUENCES. This can be set up in tsconfig.
