NCurses

[CJNyfalt]

The colors in ncurses are limited to bright and normal versions of white, black, red, green, blue, yellow, magenta and cyan.

However from your post it seems that the difference between the bright and normal versions doesn't show. It seems that I also have the same problem in Ubuntu 7.04, with bright colors working in x-term but not in console.

Hello.

1. Do anyone here play V angband or any of its variants using NCurses?

If 'YES' then why do I keep getting problems playing roguelikes in console (alt+ctrl+F1-F6)

The colors are messed up. Take a look at this:

Color 0: 'BLACK' .. correct color
Color 1: 'WHITE .. It's white, but not bright white
Color 2: 'SLATE' .. same as 'Color 1'
Color 3: 'ORANGE' .. not sure if this color is red or orange
Color 4: 'RED' .. same as 'Color 3'
Color 5: 'GREEN' .. correct color
Color 6: 'BLUE' .. correct color
Color 7: 'UMBER' .. same as 'Color 3'
Color 8: 'LIGHT DARK' .. same as 'Color 0'
Color 9: 'LIGHT SLATE' .. same as 'Color 1'
Color 10: 'VIOLET' .. correct color
Color 11: 'YELLOW' .. this color is not yellow, it goes towards red.. ORANGE
Color 12: 'LIGHT RED' .. same as 'Color 10'
Color 13: 'LIGHT GREEN' .. same as 'Color 5'
Color 14: 'LIGHT BLUE' .. same as 'Color 6'
Color 15: 'LIGHT UMBER' .. same as 'Color 3'

Ok, maybe not so easy to read this. But:

Color 0 and color 8 are BLACK
Color 1, color 2 and color 9 are WHITE
Color 3, color 4, color 7 and color 15 are RED/ORANGE
Color 5 and color 13 are GREEN
Color 6 and color 14 are BLUE
Color 10 and color 12 are VIOLET
Color 11 is ORANGE, where it should be YELLOW

By the way, I can't change the colors within the game with '%'.

Using Ubuntu 6.10

Anyone aware of this problem? Or am I the only one trying to play v angband, zangband and tome in console using ncurses? Or.... am I the only one having problems playing in console using ncurses. I'm of course not talking about running in virtual console in X here. Clean and pure textmode console. Hoping for happy answers.
