I just started messing around with JS, so this might be really simple, but I'mãjust not getting it.ããI'm running a test.js as an external Logon event.ããvar ansi = load({}, 'ansiterm_lib.js');ãansi.send('attributes','set', ansi.BROWN);ãconsole.print("testing");ããThe text prints in SyncTerm as yellow instead of brown.ããSo then I tried this:ããvar ansi = load({}, 'ansiterm_lib.js');ãansi.send('ext_mode', 'set', 'no_bright_intensity'); ãansi.send('attributes','set', ansi.BROWN);ãconsole.print("testing"); ããThe text shows up as brown, but then every .ans file on the BBS that shouldãhave yellow in it shows as brown.ããI hope this makes sense. I'm guessing that I need to somehow reset theãattributes or something after my code runs.ããAside from that, is there a better way to print colored text? Seems like a lotãof code and what if I wanted different colored words in the same printãstatement?ããThanks.ãã-=U13=-ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ The DarkSide of the Moon - telnet://darkside.synchro.netã

It would only work inãCTerm/SyncTERM termiantes and 2. it's going to disable high-intensityãattributes for the entire session. :-)ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #24:ã1584 Synchronet BBS Software registrations were sold between 1992 and 1996.ãNorco, CA WX: 98.3øF, 22.0% humidity, 10 mph E wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

var ansi = load({}, 'ansiterm_lib.js');
ansi.send('ext_mode', 'set', 'no_bright_intensity');

Yeah, you probably don't want to do that. 1. It would only work in CTerm/SyncTERM termiantes and 2. it's going to disable high-intensity attributes for the entire session. :-)

Thanks for the info. In what scenario would you use those commands / ansiterm_lib.js?

Also, I noticed an ANSI.JS file in xtrn/druglord/ that might be useful for text color without using ctrl-a Codes. Any thoughts on that?
