| This is a very odd bug. I have a fairly large script as you may know, today I tried to do some editing in it. Everything worked fine the first few additions I made, but then I went back to make another addition and after typing a set number of characters the client stopped accepting input. This had no effect on new notepad windows, other scripts being edited or the actually world and command windows, but within the script I was editing any attempt to type past column 33 causes it to just stop, I can backspace and renter stuff on that line (up to that column), but not go beyond it. This is in version 3.20 with a 1166 line script that is 31,284 bytes in size. I ended up having to edit it in notepad+ instead. :p
Hmm. Really odd. By backing up a few character and hitting enter, then continuing again it started working. Then saving, closing the window and reloading the script for editing and it reappears again, this time at 30 characters. :p This is very bad... | | Top |

| The built in notepad has a fixed buffer size. When it is full, you can not enter new text ANYWHERE!
I suggest you go to your "Scripts" setup screen, and uncheck the box that says "Use inbuilt notepad to edit scripts". Use the button above to point to windows notepad editor, if need be.
You're only hitting this limit now? Heh... I hit it a long time ago. (I know, cheap bragging)... LOL. |

| Well I might note that the windows note pad also has an upper limit. I think it is 64k, instead of what seems to be close to 32k for MUSHclient. I have a replacement called Notepad+ from a guy named Michael Damatow that can be used in place of windows notepad and supports rtf files as well I think. There is also another by the same name you actually copy over top of the original, but it has some memory problems. I guess I will have MUSHclient use it, the non-floating version in MUSHclient was not terribly convenient to work with anyway. lol
I suspected that it might have been a file size limit, but wasn't sure. The only programs that I usually run into that sort of problem with tend to be Microsoft products. Some one should sneak into the place they manufacture Microsoft install cds and sneak replacements for Notepad, Paint, MSBackup and Telnet onto the discs. lol I am actually continually amazed that Wordpad doesn't seem to have similar problems. | | Top |

| | I can't see a hard-coded limit in the notepad (why would I put one?) however it is implemented as a Windows text control, which probably has a 32Kb limit under Windows 95/98/ME. |

| Personally, I use Metapad. It's an excellent replacement for Microsoft Notepad. I downloaded it, made a copy of the executable and renamed it "notepad", and replaced the Microsoft version with it.

Heh, noticed there is a new version. :)
BTW, it is freeware. |
