You are <old character name>

[Gimfalisette]

Were you logged in when the storage was done? If so, you probably need to log out, then you'll be able to log in with your new PC.

[r2213]

Has been over the course of the past couple days, so definitely been logged off, unfortunately I'm hopelessly lost in my current city, and having trouble finding a tavern to safe-quit. And it is rather dark, so can't see either.

[Gimfalisette]

You should just remain in place for about 15 mins until it's light again, then find a tavern. Look at the help for the Tuluk map (help map Tuluk) and you should be able to figure out where those are.

[r2213]

Hrm, good points. And discovered wield torch! And that wind can blow torches out...

Unfortunately flash client isn't playing nice... lets see if I can get it on Atlantis...

Edited to add: Atlantis displays better, just cuts off the last line of the prompt for some reason... bah.

[Gimfalisette]

"Hold torch" works too. Either works, because the torch is in your hand. And yes, a flame can be blown out by the wind.

[r2213]

Ah, fiddled with settings and got things working, as far as displaying. Still in black and white, however, miss my colors. Toggling using 'V' on the main menu doesn't seem to change anything.

Now to find a tavern, safequit, and see if this worked...

[Erythil]

I was under the impression that ARM doesn't have any color.

[r2213]

Really? Interesting.

Anyways! finally found a tavern! And Quit, and rejoined, and figured out how to get back to the old character. Thanks for all the assistance!

[Galdun]

As far as color schemes are concerned...

Red Text.

Black Background.

Easy on the eyes, feels like Armageddon.  You don't need any other colors.

Armageddon itself doesn't have color that I know of.

When you toggle ansi on, what it's doing, is accepting your request to allow your client to provide color and send it to the game screen.

You still have to use your client's color attributes to see color in Arm.

I used to hate Arm not having any color.  Now, whenever I occasionally log on to a different mud, the overuse of color makes my eyes bleed.

You get used to it, in a good way.  For my color needs, I use my client to hi-light words that I think are important, and this actually makes them really stand out when I need them to.

I've noticed some words appear highlighted in a brighter white.  Particularly hits in combat, involving your character.  Is this what is enabled? Or perhaps I am completely insane.

You're insane?

They're bolded letters and not colored. You can turn this on from the menu I think. That's what I did.

[Jdr]

He might have mild synethesia is all. It's quite common.

[Lizzie]

I'm concerned that MarshallDFX feels his is an either/or situation.

I am confused.  I hope I am not crazy.  Janeshepard seems to have backed me up though.

[Lizzie]

Well you gave us all a choice:

Either the toggle was giving you bolded white, OR you are insane.

I am saying - it is possible to be both.

You play Arm, and aren't insane?
