Is there any easy way to accomplish this? Currently, we have a lot of people editing the game in the writing buffer. when someone writes too much for a singular line, it trims it to fit the buffer. Is there a way to make it wrap it? This is a fairly heavily modded smaug.

I believe there is a snippet out there that redoes the buffer, and that is one of the things changed.

a good rule of thumb for smaug writing buffers:
you'll see the
------------------------------------------------
the length of your line should be around the length of this line when you start the write buffer. little bit more or less should be alright.

if you want the text lines to be longer/shorter, then manually change the length of the --------- in the code.

or if you really want to go through all the trouble and you cannot find a suitable snippet...

You can make a new command for the write buffer like the /d for deleting lines, /s for save. you could make a /f for format which would remove all line breaks and combine the 2dimensional char array into one single char array and beign clipping it up and putting it back into the 2d char array.

count, say 50(or however long you want each line to be) spaces out and then go backwards until you find the first space. cut if off there, remove that section do it again for the next line... and again again until it reaches the end of the char array... of course you'll need some if checks so you dont go out of bounds in the array and a few other additionals for formatting the spaces and adding them when necessary(since your new lines dont begin with spaces).

you probably dont want to do all this automatically in each write buffer if you want to keep the formatting of the line you have just edited like for maps, text art, etc...

if you do want it to do it automatically, just call the function automatically when the writebuffer recieves the /s for save command.
