Crossfire Wiki

A common problem with NPC communications in crossfire is that it is very hard to know what magic word they are looking for to give more information.

With the extended tag and draw_ext_info, it is now possible for npcs or other messages to actually highlight words (bold, color, etc).

This can be used to make it much clearer what words may further activate the NPC's conversation. To do this would require updating the maps, but it may be possible to script - the script could examine all the @match entries for the NPC, and then see if there are any matching words in what it says, and put the appropriate tags around them.
