Word Wrap/Screenwidth

[Jacob Gregory]

Is there any way to set the WW or Screenwidth in either MM2k or v2.6? I've
looked in all the documentation I could find but haven't found anything
relevent yet.

There isn't an explicit session option or script command to override the word
wrap. Word wrap is calculated internally based on the actual width of the
session screen and the character width of the font in use. The number of
characters in a line is calculated based on the font text metric
"tmAveCharWidth" and the display width minus the width of a vertical scrollbar
(which could exist).

I suppose this means you could use a custom font that lies about its width to
override the wrap.

Ok...bummer. Guess I'll need to look at other clients then. The mud I play,
well one of the idiots in charge decided that the mud didn't need to handle
all wrapping anymore; that it was up to the various mudclients to do it.
Needless to say, it looks like total #@$! and I can't deal with it on MM any
longer--it's just one migraine after another trying to read it.

Does this mean you want to keep the mudmaster window very wide while having
the text only reach part way across the line?

I guess i'm not sure why you don't size the mudmaster window or the session
window within mudmaster to a width where the lines wrap where you want them
to. I might be misunderstanding your requirement.

Without the capability to do multi-line triggers, I find myself having to set
my mud's wrapwidth to zero if I want to accurately capture a message that may
wrap over to the next line. Playing on a widescreen monitor means that if you
keep the window maximized, like I prefer to to minimize distractions, that
reading your game becomes quite irritating. Some way to make it wrap at 80ish
characters even with a wrapwidth of zero would be very nice.

I've brute-forced it by resizing the window, but it's just not the same. :(
Not as nice as some kind of multi-line trigger support, but nice

That was me up above. For example, the who list will wrap with a wrapwidth of
zero as

Aaslef, Aethaor, Aislygn, Akkina, Aoede, Azefel, Cromwell, Culama, Dax, Drozogoth, Dulrahn, Esche, Gar
ed, Havamal, Hiso, Iobelia, Jaeda, Jarrhn, Jasmina, Jazzster, Julius, Karyn, Kievas, Kildory, Krystali
a, Kurayami, Lemi, Leranad, Lunari, Mikihide, Nicholai, Oburi, Orius, Pareze, Praetoris, Ranai, Rayala
n, Rumal, Sadie, Sapphias, Sarek, Sophitia, Sorak, Sorin, Sulphius, Synna, Toron, Tridian, Yanna, Zaig
ou, Zayn, Zerin, and Zyran.

That chops names and words up horribly and generally makes it frustrating to
read.

Does this mean that if a wrap width feature was added we'd need to have it
only wrap at word breaks to avoid splitting words?

I have added the ability to set the length at which lines will wrap. This will
be a terminal setting in version 4.2.4.
