Different clients do different things. Dead Souls tries to handle
|
|
the most common setups automatically. This may not be enough for you.
|
|
|
|
Here are some common issues:
|
|
|
|
1) You set the screen to something (like 100 50) but it keeps changing
|
|
to something else.
|
|
|
|
This is usually because your client is sending invisible resizing commands
|
|
to the mud, and the mud is honoring those commands. To stop this, you
|
|
lock your screen settings, and then set the screen parameters:
|
|
%^GREEN%^
|
|
screenlock on
|
|
screen 100 50
|
|
%^RESET%^
|
|
|
|
2) You set your width and/or height to a very large number but it's
|
|
smaller when you check it.
|
|
|
|
Your screen setting tries to limit itself to the size of the mud's
|
|
maximum printable string size...a number which is fairly arbitrary and
|
|
mostly there to avoid excessive spamming of players. This limit can
|
|
only be changed by an administrator willing to recompile the driver
|
|
with a changed value for the LARGEST_PRINTABLE_STRING opton.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) You set your width to something very large but not all text goes that wide.
|
|
|
|
Some text, like this file, are written with hard returns somewhere before the
|
|
80th column. This is usually due to a preference the author has, and is
|
|
common among lib folks of a certain vintage. If you find instances where
|
|
this is particularly unattractive, talk it over with your admin to see
|
|
if they want to add it to their list of things to clean up.
