On the default_prompt when i enter a command the command gets
either entered on the next line or after all the text on that
line..
but as soon as i enter in my own customized prompt it gets
entered a new line and it makes some of the last characters
for my prompt warp to the next line with it..

is there a way to fix this..

also is there a way to add a empty line after the prompt and
still have it be a mud feature rather than a plugin..

If you want someone to be able to add a line break where they want, you can use this, put it in display_prompt as one of the options, then use %_ to add a new line
                        case '_':
                                mudstrlcpy(pbuf, "\n\r", MSL);
                                break;

You can add the case with all the other cases, like:
case 'h'


No indenting doesn't really matter.

Grevan was using a different codebase, so change:
mudstrlcpy(pbuf, "\n\r", MSL);

to:
        sprintf( pbuf, "\n\r" );

Thats what the wonderful program called indent is for, to change peoples poorly indented code to a format that you like, heh.

And I have mine set up as such, you need to put the check below the check for the % character, with the other special values. This is what I use:
                        case 'h':
                                pstat = ch->hit;
                                break;
                        case 'H':
                                pstat = ch->max_hit;
                                break;
                        case '_':
                                mudstrlcpy(pbuf, "\n\r", MSL);
                                break;
Since I'm using mudstrlcpy, you can just use strncpy instead, and it will produce the same result for your purposes.

You can use something like this:
    sprintf( buf, "%s\n\r", !str_cmp( ch->pcdata->prompt, "" ) ? "(default prompt)" : ch->pcdata->prompt );
    set_char_color( AT_WHITE, ch );
    write_to_descriptor( ch->desc->descriptor, "Your current prompt string:\n\r", 0 );
    write_to_descriptor( ch->desc->descriptor, buf, 0 );
    write_to_descriptor( ch->desc->descriptor, "Set prompt to what? (try help prompt)\n\r", 0 );
Should allow you to print out a characters prompt, including the color codes.

should i enter this in player.c where the "set prompt to what" text is currenty at?

void do_prompt( CHAR_DATA * ch, char *argument )
{
   char arg[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];

   if( IS_NPC( ch ) )
   {
      send_to_char( "NPC's can't change their prompt..\n\r", ch );
      return;
   }
   smash_tilde( argument );
   one_argument( argument, arg );
   if( !*arg )
   {
      send_to_char( "Set prompt to what? (try help prompt)\n\r", ch );
      return;
   }
   if( ch->pcdata->prompt )
      STRFREE( ch->pcdata->prompt );

   if( strlen( argument ) > 128 )
      argument[128] = '\0';



or does it go someplace else.. like comm.c

You would put it in do_prompt. After looking at it, I don't like filtering my code as that, so I actually changed it to such
        if (!*arg)
        {
                if ( ch->desc && ch->desc->descriptor )
                {
                    sprintf( buf, "%s\n\r", !str_cmp( ch->pcdata->prompt, "" ) ? "(default prompt)" : ch->pcdata->prompt );
                    set_char_color( AT_WHITE, ch );
                    send_to_char("Your current prompt string:\n\r", ch );
                    ch_printf(ch, "%s\n\r", full_color(ch->pcdata->prompt));
                }
                send_to_char("Set prompt to what? (try help prompt)\n\r", ch);
                return;
        }

char     *full_color(char *str)
{
        static char ret[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
        char     *retptr;

        retptr = ret;
        for (; *str != '\0'; str++)
        {
                if (*str == '&')
                {
                        *retptr = *str;
                        retptr++;
                        *retptr = '&';
                        retptr++;
                }
                else
                {
                        *retptr = *str;
                        retptr++;
                }
        }
        *retptr = '\0';
        return ret;
}

Out of curiosity do you understand the errors? Most of them are very basic and you should be able to figure them out on your own - trust me, it'll do you service in the long run.

Also isn't the ability to display the prompt by just typing 'prompt' in by default?
