hello everybody!

Was wondering if some nice wiz would do some colouring to melee hits. ie.
You BARBABABAMAISETI VUOKRAAT Male fire giant forcing the heart to incinerate.
and that "incinerate" would show in red as fire damage etc.

rate this and maybe someone will do it =)
peace out!

Before anyone leaps in to do this, this is something that I assume
is done fairly often on the client side.

In fact, I would guess that different players have quite different ways
in which they like their lines of battle (and other stuff) coloured.

Therefore, I am saying that, while I think this a pretty good idea,
there are only so many players that would actually benefit from such
server side functionality and whatever colouring scheme is chosen
won't necessarily be agreeable to all those who would like to see
colouring.

I suppose the ideal would be some general functionality to colour
various different types of messages from the mud in a user defined
manner. However, this may be asking too much (especially as it can
mostly be done client side).

Not a bad idea, but I guess this would need to be an option,
since I am sure that not all players want their screens to
look like a acid flashback from the 1970s. Or?

I wouldn't like the screens to look too colorful...also, when playing from
work, it's nice to have pure black+white mudding so it at least somewhat looks
like a normal ssh connection

Implemented as requested. "term dumb" to turn off colours, you can then
restore the rainbow with "term ansi". Pretty nifty and original, no?
