The spider.class.php  code is alot more reliable than gameq when querying a server, much appreciated whoever made it.

Anyway I've been using this code to strip color codes in names.

preg_replace('#(\^.)#', '', $data);

But decided I'd like to have the colors in my name, was wondering if anyone would share or enlighten me on how they they did it, i was thinking of replacing "^x" with "<font color="#FFFF00">, but not sure if that's a good approach, how did E+ add dropshadows and glowing effects.

Cheers.
