With screenwidth 80, Achaea wraps long lines of text at 80 characters. So a line like "You see exits leading north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, and in (closed door)." will be wrapped to look like:

northwest, and in (closed door).
With screenwidth 0, Achaea doesn't wrap text at all. The example above would all be a single line. Now, zMUD can also wrap the text instead of Achaea. With screenwidth 0 in Achaea, and zMUD wrapping at around 80 characters, it would look the same to the person reading it as screenwidth 80.

Now, the benefit of using screenwidth 0 and letting zMUD wrap the text, is that zMUD triggers still see the wrapped text as a single line. With screenwidth 80, here's what the trigger would look like to match that exits line I used above:
CODE
#REGEX {^You see exits leading north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west,$} {}
#COND {^northwest, and in \(closed door\)\.$} {}
That would match the first line, and then match the second if it followed the first. With screenwidth 0, it's much simpler:

CODE
#REGEX {^You see exits leading north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, and in \(closed door\)\.$} {}


Also, to make Acropolis work with screenwidth 0, you'd have to change any trigger that matches multiple lines to instead match a single line. I'm not familiar with Acropolis, so I couldn't give any specific information on how it would need to be changed.

there are actually three versions of acropolis out there:

Screenwidth 80 (with rage curing)
Screenwidth 80 (w/o rage curing)
Screenwidth 0

They're floating around here somewhere. I don't think I have the nowrap anymore, but I can look.

and changing from multiline triggers to single wouldn't be hard, just tedious.

thanks very much! I see it is in config too. I am almost give up for acropolis. I also try the make your own system in forum. Is so hard.
