Telnet Colors

Maybe an easy way of doing or filtering this.

Wondering if it's possible for an option for telnet to use ANSI colors?

I have my terminal window on, and the flood of text sometimes is just too much. Would love to have certain colors for certain lines. Like orange for MQ output, green for gu, whatever... suppose it can be customizeable, even if you wanna use ansi codes, like in the ini files.

Or maybe just filter out everything from telnet but MQ output and possibly /whos... guess that may cause other problems so not sure if that'll be a good option.

Yes, modify StripMQChat() to change the colors to use ANSI colors and post your results here.

Well, make a different function MQToANSI or something :)

Another, less MQ way of doing this is to use a terminal program like zMUD which can change lines of text based on a trigger.

One problem w/ ANSI color is the limited color selection. Though fortunately the default chat colors are pretty standard I think.
