Word Wrapping
|
How do you make the text of your MUD word wrap accross the entire game screen instead of just being aligned to the very left side not taking up the whole thing?

Most likely, the word-wrapping margins are set by the MUD itself; without a command to change them, you're stuck like that (the good news, though, is that it moreorless gives you a set region to which you can resize your window to make room for child windows).
If it's actually ZMud taking it upon itself to wrap the text, then you can work your way into the General Preferences, under the Word Wrap section. It's fairly self-explanatory what all the options there do/mean.

All the muds I've ever played word wrap to a certain default width. That said you probably have a large screen set to a very good resolution. Reset your resolution to a smaller one and you can get it to fill this empty space very easily. There is a way to get rid of the word wrapping done by the mud but it is a real pain to implement.
If you insist on looking for this then you need to match the end of line char sent by the mud and psub it out of your text. this will probably really slow down your comp. then tell zmud where you want the line to word wrap too, in the settings Matt told you about above. Though I suggest you learn to live with it and perhaps resize your mapper window to fill the void.
