Howdy!

I played MUDs a bunch forever ago and, frankly, upon starting BatMUD there's
too much text that's the same color (in my opinion.) I've been fighting with
the minimalist help in the batclient to setup some hilite triggers, but it'd be
super nice to have some more options with the MUD's built-in commands of lite
and style.

Specifically, I'd LOVE to see color options for my attacks, my misses, enemy
attacks on me, enemy misses on me, enemy attacks on party mates, enemy misses
on party mates, enemy evasion (dodge/parry/etc.?) and my/party evasion (same.)

Just some way for the client to push those aside and differentiate 'em, as
right now the combat is just a big ol' blur, and the trigger hilites are sorta
tough to work with! I managed to get some working for these purposes, but only
by means of making a ton for every possible combat message I've seen so far, so
it's obviously pretty character/weapon specific and doesn't scale well. :)

Maybe I'm just a glutton for all the color-differentiated stuff of other MUDs
years ago, but hey. Just my suggestion/opinion!
