Member Discussions [tos]

Announcement: We are beginning to Beta test the TMC discussions thread rating system which allows TMC members to rate threads in their usability and soon to set rating thresholds which will filter threads (optionally) which do not meet a minimum rating criteria. You can submit a single rating for each thread, subsequent ratings of already rated threads will simply replace your previous rating. As with all things new to TMC, expect bugs and please let Icculus know what you find. Thanks and enjoy - Iccy

Is it possible to display an ascii symbol (the heart, 003 in this sitiuation) on a mud through an ansi escape sequence or other method?

Yes, if you take a look at my games website you will see that i use a whole lot of glyphs that are not part of any standard font, and all use extended ascii.

Now the trouble using extended ascii is that not all fonts share the same extended ascii glyphs so unless you find a suitable way of forcing people to use a specific font, some will never see what your trying to portray correctly.

UTF-8 / Unicode will do that reliably, but I don't think many mud clients support it.
Like lightning and thunder require time, deeds require time even after they are done, before they can be seen and heard.
