MUSHclient scripting

Description of MUSHclient world function: world.NoteColourBack


Name NoteColourBack
Type Property
Summary Chooses which RGB colour will be used for world notes - background colour
Prototype long NoteColourBack;
Description

You can use this to set the background colour used in world.note and world.tell. The colour is specified in RGB (Red, Green, Blue). Red is in the low-order byte, Green in the middle-order byte, and Blue in the higher-order byte. (ie. 0x00BBGGRR).

If you are setting the colour you must specify an RGB value. Some pre-defined values are available in VBscript, see below.

Constant Value Description
-------------------------------
vbBlack &h00 Black
vbRed &hFF Red
vbGreen &hFF00 Green
vbYellow &hFFFF Yellow
vbBlue &hFF0000 Blue
vbMagenta &hFF00FF Magenta
vbCyan &hFFFF00 Cyan
vbWhite &hFFFFFF White

In JScript you will need to use the RGB values, for example Magenta would be: 0xFF00FF.

VBscript example
world.notecolourback = vbRed  ' set note background colour to red
world.note "This will be on a red background"
world.note world.notecolourback  ' display current note background colour
Jscript example
world.notecolourback = 0xFF;  // set note colour to use red background
world.note("This will be on a red background");
world.note(world.notecolourback);  // display current note background colour
PerlScript example
$world->{notecolourback} = 0xFF;  # set note colour to use red background
$world->note("This will be on a red background");
$world->note($world->{notecolourback});  # display current note background colour
Python example
world.notecolourback = 0xFF  # set note colour to use red background
world.note("This will be on a red background")
world.note(world.notecolourback)  # display current note background colour
Lua example
SetNoteColourBack (255)  -- set note colour to use red background
Note ("This will be on a red background")
Note(GetNoteColourBack ())  -- display current note background colour
Lua notes
Lua implements this as two functions:

GetNoteColourBack - gets the note colour background
SetNoteColourBack - sets the note colour background
Returns This is a property. You can use it to find the current note background colour.
