I think for something like this you'd have to give me an example that I can reproduce for me to help. Its just too difficult and there are too many possiblities for why what you're doing could display wrong.
How are you editing/saving the ANSI files? What terminal are you using, etc etc etc
g00r00,
I think you have a couple of gmails from a few of us having issues with 132x37 in Linux only. Windows everything is Peachy, almost my entire BBS has 132x37 and 80x25 themes. However If I use the same 132x37 ANSI, move it over to my PI Test BBS, on the lastest prealpha, and/or have it tested on another Linux box, Mystic adds blank lines between each line of drawn ansi.
Re-saving the ANSI within linux, using Moebius or Pablo draw, does not correct the issue. In addition, there are issues with the Mystic Editor saving 132x37 in 80 column lines, and while in windows "pieces them back together correctly," within linux they do do not. They display as an 79 column line, then the next line will be the remaining 52 lines of ansi.
The second issue on Linux in 132x37 terminal mode, is that regardless of what's being displayed to the screen, Mystic pauses at
line 24. It could be a 132x37 ansi, or an 132x37 full text document (such as a basic .mpl to display an ASCII header with the last 20 callers intead of the last 10, plus an ascii footer, as an example). This is only occurring in Linux, when in 132x37 terminal sizes (Netrunner or Syncterm) it pauses at 24 lines.
Lastly, within Linux the canvas length can be set within Moebius to 132x37, and you can draw the image to say 131 x 7, as a header, to a the last callers (as an example.) In Windows, Mystic recognizes an EOF at line 8. In Linux, the file will display 131 columns, spaces between each line, and pause at line with a y/n/c prompt, then finish to line 37, and then not display the .mpl at all. If we set the canvas size to 132x8, within Linux, Mystic then recorgnizes EOF at 8 lines, great. But, still with a blank line between each line of drawn ansi.
All of these ansi's are static (no animation, etc..) created at 131 or less x 36 or less, sauce is removed, and if issues do exist still, resaved in the Mystic Editor with line length set to 0 (I believe you had suggested) in Windows. All works fine with most of those situations. Me and about 4 others that I know of are trying to rewrite mods to support both 132x37 and 80x25, and most if not all of them are on Linux, and all experiencing the aforementioned issues, which is what prompted me to setup a test PI Mystic BBS to see if I could fix it with what I know about having built a theme 132x37 theme within windows.
I hope this information is helpful. Love the feature! Would just love to see it work on both platforms :) IF a step is being missed, please let me know.
