Hello,

I decided to try to get back into mudding and am freshly new to CMUD. Is there a way to shift the MUD text toward the center of the screen, but keep it left aligned so it doesn't mess any of the displays up? I am still learning the interface. Help would be much appreciated! :)

Shift it how?
Is there a table of information that is not displaying accurately?
Most MUDs demand that you use a single space font, i prefer consolas.

Everything displays properly, but I was wondering if there was a way to move everything to the right a bit so it's more in the center of the screen vs the left edge.

Like:

It is possible, but it would not be very efficient.
Do you have a practical reason for wanting this, or is it pure aesthetics?

something like

#TR {*} {#SAYPROMPT { }}

should pad every line after the first with 5 spaces.

Otherwise, you can play with #SUB or #PSUB.

It is for aesthetics. I am very blind and it hurts my neck looking in the bottom left all of the time. How come it doesn't grab the first line? Is there a way to shift that as well?

Other solution to consider (I think more efficient, and it doesn't mess with actual text from the game) would be shifting with an empty time stamp bar. It's in Preferences - Session - Scrollback, check Show timestamps and add some spaces to Timestamp format.

Many thanks for the help!

Well, you could make use of a larger font.
Or use other windows to display other relivant information so that it is not defaulted to the bottom left...
You could also not have CMUD maximized to full screen.

As for why not the first line, because this trigger requires a line to make it fire the padding for the next line.
There are no lines before the first line, so no one gets to pad it.
