becomes
This is only when the loading screen 'mudtitle.*' is up. I can't seem to figure out what it is. If it's carriage returns (current suspicion) how do I insert one using notepad?
Any help regarding this frustration is appreciated. | | Top |

| I added [code] so we could see the problem.
What client are you using? Most clients will treat a newline as starting a new line (ie. an implied carriage-return).
However you are right, it seems to be missing a carriage-return. You will probably find this causing grief in other places, a lot of Unix code assumes that a newline is all that is required at the end of a line, not a carriage-return as well.
As for adding them, use the utility Dos2Unix (free download on this site) to fix up the line-endings. Or change clients. :) |

| Well, that's just it. The problem happens with both CCTerm and Telnet. I'm surprised, because I don't notice this problem with other Smaug-implementations using those two programs.
Also, I did use the dos2unix, unix2dos utilities. It didn't fix the problem.
So, I'm really confused about this. | | Top |

| | You want unix2dos - that will change \n to \r\n - you probably need to restart the MUD afterwards. However there is no logical reason that won't work. |

| I tried using the unix2dos. I rebooted the mud, it still isn't working.
Could you possibly suggest an editor that I could use? I'm using Win98. Is there an editor that you used on these title files that I could use?
I dunno, I'm really at my wit's end on this one.

| Try UltraEdit.
It does those conversions, and has a hex mode so you can see exactly what is in the file.
Are you sure you changed the right file? Try changing the text as well. |

| I'll give it a shot, thanks!
Also, the changes did happen to the right file. And I didn't need to reboot SMAUG either ^^ | | Top |
