i have a paragraph in my mudtitle files to show as an entrance message
"My good blade carves the casques of men,
My tough lance thrusteth sure,
My strength is as the strength of ten,
Because my heart is pure.
The shattering trumpet shrilleth high,
The hard brands shiver on the steel,
The splintered spear-shafts crack and fly,
The horse and rider reel:
They reel, they roll in clanging lists,
And when the tide of combat stands,
Perfume and flowers fall in showers,
That lightly rain from ladies’ hands"
in telnet, this text appears skewed and spaced out all over and the format is messed up
can i not have this type of book-quote-like formatting in my mudtitle file? |

| It may be that if you have it centered, for example, and are using both tabs and spaces, that your editor does not display tabs the same way, maybe 4 characters long opposed to 8. This can screw up alot of stuff. Also, it may depend exactly what your editing it in. I know that MS word really likes to screw with files, even if your saving it in .txt format. If your using windows, try notepad instead, or better yet, use a *nix editor, like vi. Nick has a guide on how to use it to your full advantage.
Hope that helps. |

| Well, I wouldn't use telnet in the first place, I would use a MUD client.
The problem is that your file has newlines but not carriage returns. In telnet the newline starts a new line (hence the name) but without the carriage-return the cursor does not move to column 1.
Many clients will do that automatically for you. However you could do a "convert Unix to DOS" conversion on the file to insert the carriage returns. There are various ways of doing that, one is to use the utility in the downloads are on this site, another would be to ftp the file using text mode. |
