Lines and space

I've noticed that the text in the client is pushed over to the very left side, stopping at the middle of the screen and leaving a HUGE, dead black space on the right.

I've mess with the "offset" number (everything in the "output" section, really), but all that does is move the text from the left up to 20 pixels and doesn't extend it any farther past the middle.

Is there any way to push the text some place IN the middle so that cavernous space goes away?

I'd like to keep my window full size, as well.

You can change the "wrap" column (configuration, appearance, output) from 80 to (say) 150. You can also make the font larger. :)

You can click on the button (same screen) "adjust width to window size" that will make it wrap at the right-hand edge.

*However*, some MUDs, particularly Diku-based ones, tend to have wrapping at the server end, which you can't really fix at the client end. In other words, they wrap at around column 80 no matter what you do.

MUDs that don't do that are ones based on PennMUSH (amongst others) that let the client wrap. Also some more modern MUDs use MXP (MUD Extension Protocol) where they can turn on client wrapping for things like room descriptions.

My MUD must be one of those. None of that information changed anything. *LOL*

Thanks for your help. :)

The other thing you could do is maximize MUSHclient, but not maximiZe the world window.

Then you can have the world window sitting in the middle (with the grey MUSHclient background) so that you don't have a screen full of black.
