Bug - Not A Bug r11967: print(string, "orange") in ASH doesn't work

[Vandermonde]

Title says it all.

More specifically, unrecognised colors are treated as black. I know there are things like LightGoldenRodYellow, but this was kind of surprising.

I'm not sure why it doesn't work, but here is a workaround:

print( "TEST", "#FFA500" );

I know it takes color codes; it's just that it's a pain to replace all of them.

Anything put into the "color" bit gets directly transferred to font color=. This can be validated in RuntimeLibrary.

According to http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/colors.html Orange should be FFA000, not FFA500. When I tested it in the gCLI, there was no # required. I suppose it depends how light you want your text to be. Sidenote.

Not sure why the mafia HTML parser skips orange, but... that's apparently the core of this bug. If it's actually a bug... possible that at that point, Java's colour parser didn't have an orange in it. Regarding the rest of it and black and so on, non-html colours not existing isn't a mafia bug.

Edit: Does appear that it's not a mafia bug. Aqua is a valid colour through the colour picker. It's not found in mafia's source except as it ties into items... nowhere does that colour get defined. Making this a limitation of Java, not a mafia bug.

Using the replace all feature of your text editor is a pain? You could even define the color to a variable, then use that variable everywhere. That would make it trivial to change in the future if you decide that you don't actually want orange after all.

I have lots of scripts and probably more suspect colors. You're probably right, though; it shouldn't be too bad once I actually do it.

Exactly. When you want to print in a color, KoLmafia wraps the string in a "<font color=xxx>" and "</font>" HTML directive and hands it off to Java to deal with.

Of note, "orange" is supported in JRE 1.7.

Yes I just tried it myself, works fine.
