| i know this is probably elementary, but i still need to know. that way i won't have to ask you guys again. :)
i want my prompt to look like this:
<100hp 100m 100 mv>
< >
my original is like this:
<100hp 100m 100 mv>
i want those extra brackets below.
here's the code:
char *default_prompt( CHAR_DATA *ch )
{
static char buf[60];
strcpy(buf, "&w<&Y%hhp ");
if ( IS_VAMPIRE(ch) )
strcat(buf, "&R%bbp");
else
strcat(buf, "&C%mm");
strcat(buf, " &G%vmv&w> ");
if ( IS_NPC(ch) || IS_IMMORTAL(ch) )
strcat(buf, "%i%R");
return buf;
}
what's the command to add a line underneath it. i feel stupid for asking this. i've probably messed with it before, just forgot.
Thanks,

| Try this:
char *default_prompt( CHAR_DATA *ch )
{
static char buf[60];
strncpy(buf, "&w<&Y%hhp ", 60);
if ( IS_VAMPIRE(ch) )
strncat(buf, "&R%bbp", 60);
else
strncat(buf, "&C%mm",60);
strncat(buf, " &G%vmv&w> ",60);
if ( IS_NPC(ch) || IS_IMMORTAL(ch) )
strncat(buf, "%i%R",60);
strncat(buf, "\n\r< > ",60);
return buf;
}
That should work... |

| | Be careful- that's the default prompt, not the prompt function. If someone changes their prompt they won't have that new line anymore... |

| Quite true, you may want to add something like this into the function that parses player prompts, I think its display_prompt: case '_':
strcpy(pbuf, "\n\r");
break;
