COLOR CODES

Addict now has the ability to set specific colors in titles, channels, room descriptions, on object, on mobs, etc etc etc etc etc.

Note that excessive abuse of this will annoy the Imm's, and will be dealt with by having color turned off for all players for a short period of time.

Basically how its done is this : to set your title in all blue, you would type

title &bI want a blue title&n

What's going on here is that the &b changes your color to blue, and the &n returns the mud to normal colors. If you don't end with &n, you will 'bleed' into the next displayed lines for everyone who sees your colors, and you'll annoy them. Make sure to use &n! Also, don't put spaces after your codes or before them at the end of a line. It will put an extra space in and it wont look like you want it to.

Below are the codes for all the colors and special effects you can do with our new colors. NOTE to builders : ANY areas containing color in mobs, objects or room descriptions MUST be OK'd by the an immortal FIRST.
