In order to make it easier for players to use color, I want to use a system similar to a popular color code for rom 2.4 muds. The player need only type {r and it will fill in the entirity of font color = "red" for them... basically just a proc to replace the { strings with the proper colour.
proc/DoColor(txt)
var/stars
var/s_amount
var/mem
var/find_t
var/txtLen
var/Words[]
Words = new /list/
Words = list("{r","{b","{g","{y")//you can add words here to filter
if(Words.len)
memo:
for(mem = 1,mem < Words.len + 1,mem++)
find_t = findtext(txt,Words[mem])
if(find_t)
txtLen = length(Words[mem])
stars = null
s_amount = null
//for(s_amount = 0,s_amount < txtLen,s_amount++)
stars += "\FONT COLOR = \"red\"\"
txt = copytext(txt,1,find_t) + stars + copytext(txt,find_t+txtLen,0)
if(findtext(txt,Words[mem])) goto memo
return txt

I have of course modified the font color's to not having brackets, to prevent color bleeding. This is obviously taken from SGS, so credits to the creators there, all I need this to do is decipher the correct colours, and replace them with the correct color code.
