| My resolution is at 1024 x 768 and I'm having trouble making the words wrap on my screen so that words aren't cut off.
For instance, if the last word a the end of the line before the wrap was "Zyrexia", it cuts it off to "Zyr" on one line and "exia" on the next.
No mater WHAT I've done to fix that, it doesn't stop.
Does anyone know of settings for my resolution that fix the problem? | | Top |

| | I generally set my wordwrap setting around 125 chars and have no problems in a 1024x 768 screen size. |

| You may already know this, but just incase, click on 'game' on the menu bar along the top of MushClient and second one down is 'wrap output'. Make sure that has a tick next to it (click if not). Then do alt+5 and click 'wrap at column number' and set columns in the field next to it (I guess 125 as Meerclar said)
There's also an option on that page for 'auto-wrap to window size'. If the above doesn't work, try clicking that one instead.
Hope that helps. Hope it works hehe :) | | Top |

| | Also, I think there is a bug. I have all my world files set to the same wrapping options, and my main world wraps correctly, but all the other worlds sometimes wrap at column 80 and sometimes 121 (the normal). My main world always wraps at 121. Why is that? |

| Well, I don't know, but no mater -what- I set it at, it still breaks off words in the middle. And it's really annoying.
I tried all the help you guys gave, too. | | Top |

| | Hmm.. I think I get it, what you are saying is that you expect it to dynamically wrap the contents, not just cut everything off at column xx and start over on the next line. Currently I don't thing mushclient does that, since the assumption is that you may be dealing with ascii art or other 'fixed position' stuff that looks bad enough if wrapped, but would look worse if dynamically wrapped to fit the columns. I am not sure if correctly doing this would turn out to be a bad or a good thing, but it might be a useful option. | | Top |

| Nah, it's just words. No art.
I just get sick of reading quickly and seeing a word chopped in half. | | Top |

Are you using a proportional-spaced font? (ie. a font where the I letters are narrow than the M letters). If so, you may have those problems, because MUSHclient wraps at a certain number of letters (by count) not by whether they fit or not. I suggest either using a monospaced font, or reducing the word wrap column down a bit. The reason why it would break in different places in the word "Zyrexia" is that it might be preceded in some cases by more I's and in other cases by more M's thus changing how far across the screen it got before being wrapped.

I think that there is a bug that if you have "auto-wrap to screen width" set, and maximised windows, MUSHclient gets confused about the width of the background windows. I suggest you uncheck that option, and manually choose the number of columns to wrap at.
The same solution might help Zyrexia. |

| It's not just the name. For example, just now I typed in something and it came back as:
Kingdom: 'Hrm. Some guy I don't know just called me a trouble maker and yet he has no reasons for why he sa
id it. *ponder* '
It depends on the words that fall at the end of the line and where.
I'm using Fixedsys at 9pt, with output buffer at 3500 and word wrap at 120 and that's not working so well. | | Top |

| | That's odd. It should wrap at the previous space. Is the checkbox "Wrap output at column number" checked? If not, it will wrap at the exact column number, but not at the preceding space. Otherwise, maybe this MUD sends a strange "pseudo-space" character between words. |
