Hi Nightfox,
I made a local modification to DDMsgReader yesterday to convert Y-style MCI color codes on Amiga systems to CTRL-A codes.
function convertYStyleMciCodesToCtrlA (str) {
if (/\x19c/.test(str)) {
return str.replace(/\x19c0/g, "\x01n\x01k" // Normal Black
).replace(/\x19c1/g, "\x01n\x01r" // Normal Red
).replace(/\x19c2/g, "\x01n\x01g" // Normal Green
).replace(/\x19c3/g, "\x01n\x01y" // Brown
).replace(/\x19c4/g, "\x01n\x01b" // Normal Blue
).replace(/\x19c5/g, "\x01n\x01m" // Normal Magenta
).replace(/\x19c6/g, "\x01n\x01c" // Normal Cyan
).replace(/\x19c7/g, "\x01n\x01w" // Normal White
).replace(/\x19c8/g, "\x01k\x01h" // High Intensity Black
).replace(/\x19c9/g, "\x01r\x01h" // High Intensity Red
).replace(/\x19c[Aa]/g, "\x01g\x01h" // High Intensity Green
).replace(/\x19c[Bb]/g, "\x01y\x01h" // Yellow
).replace(/\x19c[Cc]/g, "\x01b\x01h" // High Intensity Blue
).replace(/\x19c[Dd]/g, "\x01m\x01h" // High Intensity Magenta
).replace(/\x19c[Ee]/g, "\x01c\x01h" // High Intensity Cyan
).replace(/\x19c[Ff]/g, "\x01w\x01h" // High Intensity White
).replace(/\x19z0/g, "\x010" // Background Black
).replace(/\x19z1/g, "\x011" // Background Red
).replace(/\x19z2/g, "\x012" // Background Green
).replace(/\x19z3/g, "\x013" // Background Brown
).replace(/\x19z4/g, "\x014" // Background Blue
).replace(/\x19z5/g, "\x015" // Background Magenta
).replace(/\x19z6/g, "\x016" // Background Cyan
).replace(/\x19z7/g, "\x017"); // Background White
} else {
return str; // Just return the original string if no "Y" MCI codes found.
}
}
Right now I'm just calling it everywhere msgbase.get_msg_body gets called, but realized today it might make more sense if it were added to attr_conv.js where the rest of the conversion functions live. :)
There are also Q-style codes, which I didn't bother converting yet. I think they're older and less often seen.
There are a handful of Amiga boards on ArakNet and I think fsxNet and FidoNet too, so thought it might be worth converting the Y-style codes. Hope you find it useful.
