Oh, I thought the problem is that you didn't have enough vertical space. It's just not using all of the horizontal space?

Okay, try this. Go to Game -> Configure -> Output. See at the bottom, where it says "Adjust width to size"? Click that and hit OK.

Now, assuming the MUD doesn't wrap lines automatically at column 80 (for example), MUSHclient will try to take as much of the horizontal space it can without making things go off the right edge.

Well, if the server is wrapping the lines for you before MUSHclient gets them, you may be happy to know that you'll have the same problem in any other client too. >_>

Is there a way to fix that? I tried it on CMUD and it only uses half the screen and then I tried The Two Towers on CMUD as well and it only use half the screen too... and I made sure the mapper was off.

Lol.

MUDs are "helpfully" wrapping for you. It is their nature. Some do it, some don't.

This isn't an easy problem to solve. If the MUD assumes you have an 80 character wide screen, when you can actually fit 300 characters, and it wraps at 80, you can't do much about it.

There might be a MUD-side command you can type to change the wrap column. I have no idea what it is, but into the MUD (not the client) you might type:


config wrap 300

Maybe.

Neither worked. I asked some one in it and he said he did not think so, but I have been waiting for one of the creators to come on. But every time I see him he is AFK. So I have not gotten to ask. Are there any other tricks? Anyway to force it?

Try their help files. However if the messages are hard-coded with line breaks in them there isn't much you can easily do. You could take out the line breaks, sure, but then the whole output would be one huge mass of text.

Ok I asked one of the guys who takes care of the game. He says there is no wraping at 80. There also is no automatic wrapping either except for tells and out door maps. So I am not sure. He says he is not familiar with MUSHclient and the client he uses the entire screen gets used... I think I will retry messing with the properties of MUSHclient, but it did not work last time.

Well in that case, did you change the wrap column in the Output configuration? You said you did, but if they game doesn't wrap, the client must be.

"Go to Game -> Configure -> Output. See at the bottom, where it says "Adjust width to size"? Click that and hit OK."

OK I did that, but am I missing a step? I have tried different variations when the first suggestion did not work. When I click "Adjust width to size" the number keeps going to 168, before it was at 80. I type in 300, but when I keep clicking "Adjust width to size" going back into it, it goes back to 168. Are there any steps I am missing or any other tabs I need to click on and adjust? Should any boxes be checked or unchecked?

Do I need to restart the client, which I did, or restart my computer? Are the changes suppose to be automatic and all text from now on will fit the entire screen? I keep typing look, but it is still compacted. If it works would all previous room descriptions automaticly get pushed out or would they stay the same due those parts were already used?

Just type in 300 and hit OK to close the dialog. Don't click any other buttons. That should then wrap at column 300.

You don't need to restart the client or the computer.

It doesn't wrap earlier lines, only ones which arrive after. So change to 300 and then type "look" and see what happens.

Just did exactly like you said, but it still did not work. But do any boxes need to be checked or unchecked in that tab or any others?

Go the Edit Menu -> Debug Packets. (turn it on).

Then do a "look" or something that they claim does not auto-wrap at the server end. Then post the results here. Turn off Debug Packets afterwards.
