I don't know what I did, but I havn't changed anything to do with colors at all and all of the sudden I'm getting an Bug, can't load colors Bland city time! That is funny to watch every time but playing with no colors isn't as funny... Do you know of any common things people do to mess this up? Or what I could have even possibly done because I don't even know where to start.

Can you post the exact bug message? It is hard to tell from what you have said what is happening exactly.

You can work it out with a bit of searching. By doing a "grep" on "bland" I found this line:


if (!(fpArea = fopen(COLOR_FILE, "r")))
{
bug("Load_colors: can't open color file -- bland city time!");
return;
}


Thus, it can't open COLOR_FILE.

Looking in mud.h I see:


#define COLOR_FILE SYSTEM_DIR "colors.dat" /* User-definable color*/


Thus I would make sure that the file "colors.dat" is in the "system" directory.
