ANSI Variables
ANSI Variables are variables which can be set to apply effects to text which is generally used to color text. Color use will be assumed for examples.
The 3-Kingdoms MUD-wide ANSI system is used through the "aset" command. By default, the "aset <ansivar> <color>" will automatically set <ansivar>_pref to <color> and <ansivar>_suff to the RESET ansivar which clears coloring and effects. <color> can contain a "+" which will combine the values and can include a regular text string. For example, "aset shout [SHOUTLINE]+BLUE" will result in seeing "[SHOUTLINE]Turnhold shouts: Going to bed now, it's safe to turn on your bots!" in blue text for the shouts. (Note: Turnhold never sleeps and is always watching)
You can what various ANSI colors look like on your terminal with the "ansi colors" command.
Below is a table of ANSI variables. In general, groups are: MUD, chatlines, guild (including guild chatlines), and misc (so far).
