Re: ascii art LoneStar wrote: No problem. Let me know if you'd like to know how to do the same thing on Fed Com I am sending on Fed Com. I have more than 3 lines, so using your syntax I get an error too many parameters. If I put a return at the end of each line "*", each line sends on a separate fed com line. Here's my code: Code: # ascii "Moon" SEND "` _____ _____ " SEND "` / V \ " SEND "` / | \ " SEND "` | * | " SEND "` | ----^---- | " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` (____|____) " SEND "` Kiss my Grits! " "*" waitFor "Message sent on Federation comm-link." (looses some formating in the translation, but you get the idea.)  _________________ BOTE 1998 Champs: Team Fament HHT 2015 Champs: Cloud09 Big Game 2016 Champs: Draft team HHT 2018 Champs: Rock Stars Big Game 2019 Champs: Draft Team Classic Style Games Here: telnet://crunchers-twgs.com:2002 Web page from 1990's: https://web.archive.org/web/20170103155645/http://tradewars.fament.com/Cruncher/tradewar.htm Blog with current server info: http://cruncherstw.blogspot.com Discord: https://discord.gg/4dja5Z8 E-mail: Cruncherstw@gmail.com FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/CrunchersTW |

Re: ascii art Routine I posted works. It's very simple. The little ASCII thin you posted wouldn't work because there are no asterisks at the ends of the lines.
Perhaps someone else can help you better than I'm able too.

Re: ascii art To send multiline messages, don't you need to pad each line with spaces out to the maximum line width? There's also a maximum message length, so I think you'll get two or three lines at most.

Re: ascii art LINE 4: SetVar $STR ($STR & " _____ _____ * " )
should look like: LINE 4: SetVar $STR ($STR & " _____ _____ * ") no spaces between parenthesis and quotation marks.

Re: ascii art I told her one time already how to fix it but she is leaving all the send "'" on each line as well as the *
but for what she has I could fix it or if done right , remove the send "' and all but the last asterisk and start it as I and lonestar said .. Send "*" for subspace or Send "`*" for fed the just send the grafix you want per line and an asterisk to advance to next line at the end of each line till the end where you will use 2 asterisks to end it and to keep it clean , a waitOn "ub-space c" for sub space message or the whatever similar waiton for fed messages. Such a simple exercise I do not understand why its so difficult. Very much like a hello world in most programing languages. _________________ TWGS V2 Vids World on Guam Port 2002 Telnet://vkworld.ddns.net:2002 Discord @ DiverDave#8374 Vid's World Discord Founding Member -=[Team Kraaken]=- Ka Pla  Winners of Gridwars 2010 MBN Fall Tournament 2011 winners Team Kraaken Undisputed Champions of 2019 HHT Just for showing up!
