Could a terminal client similar to nethack/adom etc be created for us CLI users? (Remeber there is ASCII background color that can be used). In Archtype files we could add a line that describes what should be displayed in the terminal client such as C%1,2 ! etc meaning the ansi escape sequence that should be prited for color and then ! as the char that should be printed. If someone makes a terminal client I will go through all the archtype files and add the apropriate line (I do similar things for my own projects so it's no big deal for me... I do lack the skill to create a textmode client tho in all it's curses glory).

Pretty please .

I highly doubt adding another line in the already crowded archetype structure for only a specific client is a very good idea.

To make a relationship between the archetype and the char to display, you'd better create a list which will be stored client-side (similar to the crossfire-images package for the gcfclient).

Ok. Also add a unknown char too (for things that arent on the list just incase). If anyone makes a client I'll be happy to make the list.

Anyone want to take a stab? I was stopped by the fact that I have to send binary and pack/unpack things and pack has 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 diffrent settings
