SWRFUSS colors don't display at logon

I'm using SWR 1.0 FUSS with Cygwin. Everything is fine with it except for the fact that colors aren't displaying at login.. it displays the token characters instead of showing the greeting in color.

For example:

if my greeting was &bM&YY&bM&YU&bD

it would show exactly that at login instead of

(blue)M(yellow)Y(blue)M(yellow)U(blue)D

Does anybody know how to enable color for login?

there is full color after the user logs in.

Thanks,

What's probably going on is that the MUD hasn't yet determined that the user has ASCII color, which is I believe stored on the character file. So when the character is loaded up, the MUD knows to translate ASCII color codes, but until then does not translate them.

Unlike AFKMud, the FUSS packages don't assume you have ANSI enabled on every person who logs on. This wouldn't be terribly hard to do though if you really want.

Worked like a charm.. I put the ANSI codes in the greeting and it works fine. Thanks!
