Ok Im taking my first attempt at making a game...I have a very basic map and my communication verbs (everything will be made better once I have the basics set up), however I cant get the text I type to appear in the text box to the right. Can anyone help.

Have you got a say verb. If not here it is:

mob
    verb
        say(msg as message)
              world << "<font color=red>[usr.key] says</font>  [msg]"

Hope this helps you.

<font color=red><font size=5>ADT_CLONE</font></font>

           world << "<font color = aqua>[src]:[html_encode(T)]</font>"

Thanks..thats the OOC going now...but I have yet another question (sigh, should have asked these all at once)anyway, how do I change the backround color of the text box to black, I find white too hard to read etc. etc.

I will prob be posting here more now that Im getting problems, but once I get a fully functional game, I will start to make it more origional. Thanks again

Umm im not sure how to do this. Mabey go to DM help and type in client var and see if you can find it in there.

This is how you can change the background and the default text(I'm believe this is CSS) :

client
    script = "<style> body {background : black; color : white}</style>"

Dranzer, I should just tell you right off the bat that even though these code snippets that were shown to you in the previous posts do work fine, but in DM you can do it a million different ways. So just that you were shown those few ways, you should try to expand by experimenting around with others. For example you can make a say verb where you just simply have to type in the pink bar by adding:

client
    command_text = "> "

mob
    verb
        Say(T as text)
            set name=">"
            set hidden=1
            world<<"<b>[usr]</b>: [msg]"


P.S. Yes Mecha Destroyer JD, That is infact CSS.

You have done very bad here. There's a problem with your HTML.
You need to remove the spaces between the attribute, the equal sign, and the color name. Ex.

<font color=aqua>


Is the proper way to do that.

Lummox has written several posts about people doing crap like you had it, and he has a good point.
