Greetings

I run a mud called Adventures in Voltavia. What I am looking for is
a nice large text version of the muds name, no more than 80 characters
across.

Also I would like this picture colorized using the ascii color
codes.

I wouldn't normally bother you guys for text but I have been going
mad for about 3 weeks now trying to figure out how to add color to the
file that I do have and I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Its a medievil type mud set in a fantasy world based on AD&D rules
and stuff. If you think text is a little boring feel free to add or use
any pictures that you think depict adventure. All I really care is that
it be in color.

When people log into the mud they first see a intro screen with
boring old license information. Then they get a nice fancy text picture
I did up with the help of figlet. I would really like some color in it
though and for the life of me I just can not figure out how to do it on
my own.

Please Help

( I only post that address in case someone wants to come see the figlet
picture I am talking about.)

You didnt mention what kind of system you are running it on, or the format of the program. With
that information it might be possible to help you.

Is this system able to use ANSI files? Because a color ASCII is called an
ANSI, and TheDraw will do well to colorize an ASCII. Also, ACiDDRAW will work
too. You have to load the ASCII and do the colorizing by hand, but you can make
some nice pictures that way.
The only other way I can think of to make a color ASCII is with HTML, but
that is a LOT more work than colorizing an ASCII to an ANSI.

Do you perhaps mean ANSI escape codes? We don't normally do that kinda stuff
here but if you are clear about what exactly you need someone might be able
to help you.
