On some mud clients, any text sent to the game will have the beginning spaces removed. So if you typed " Hello", the client would send "Hello" to the mud. This is a problem for me when using OLC (I have no interest in switching clients, call me stubborn). Has anyone tried to create an indention system. So the first line of a room description is indented. I consider myself a good coder, but when it comes to advanced string manipulation I am a bit lost. I suppose you woud have to test the string first for spaces, then if they aren't there put 3 spaces in the beginning.... ::ponderponder:: Anyway, I'm not going to ask for code, because I find it anoying when people do that. But if there is anyone that has done this point me in the right direction... Or is there already a patch I have missed. - Kieran of Darkening Skies "Be careful what you laugh at, it might laugh back." -- Sonia Lyris +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://democracy.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
