Mudlet help.

Anonymous

If anyone uses mudlet, I could use some help..

I'll try to explain this the best I can... I'm having an issue where when new information comes into the display, my prompt is a line behind and effectively moves the display twice. So, for instance, when I move a room and the new room shows up in my display, my prompt goes in and moves it up again. I want the new information as well as my prompt to come in together at the same time. As it is now my prompt lags a line behind and its really messing with my eyes..

I hope that was a good enough description?

To clarify:

When you enter a room, are you having to press enter an additional time to see the prompt? Is it automatically scrolling down only as far as the 2nd to bottom line? Or are you talking about the split scrolling function? Am I totally off base with these guesses?

I don't have to press enter again, its as if the prompt is coming in delayed. Whenever new information comes up, the prompt doesn't enter with it, it enters just behind it, so the scrolling isn't smooth.

Fixed it.

So, basically:

the delayed prompt happens because your MUD is not properly telling Mudlet when it should display the prompt, so Mudlet gives up waiting and displays it eventually. See about enabling the "GA" signal in your MUD - it stands for "Go Ahead" and it means the MUD has sent all it wants and the client should display it. Your MUD isn't sending it as it should be

Enabling GA didn't solve the problem, so I had to add an empty line after my prompt so that my whole prompt would show up and the empty line is the line delayed. Fixed the problem so I'm happy.

 

Thanks for trying to help!

Try looking in settings, under main display, and making sure that the box "fix unnecessary linebreaks on GA servers" is checked, if you feel ambitious. Could possibly be a mishandled linebreak not causing the end line to show up. Never encountered this issue myself.

I've always had to enter an additional carriage return after my prompts. Both with telnet and tintin. Not sure about the whole GA thing.
