Hey
I just finished adding 132x37 ansi screens to happyland.
Unfortunatly neither netrunner (prealpha) or syncterm (1.1) seem to support telnet (or ssh) window size detection, which is what Talisman
uses to decide which theme to send.
MagiTerm works (so does microsoft telnet), but most people prefer
other clients, so if you want to see the 132x37 talisman can be told
to force a particular screen size in your user settings.
You will need to set your terminal mode to the screen size you set
(and currently only default 80x25 and 132x37 have screens on my bbs).

Bummer hummer floyd. I wonder what they do?
I hope your having Mine?? fun. I confess the post about the server
sorta lost me but it sounded like Minecraft on steriods (I think) :)
I'm not sure. I just had a thought that maybe syncterm is sending
132x36
as I didn't disable the status bar.
I just finished adding 132x37 ansi screens to happyland.
But it seems mystic sysops have a prompt at start up to select a wide screen theme if you want to use it.
It'll be interesting to see if wider screens get increased preference
(seems like they are more than a novelity), particuary for new BBSers?

Yes, I do wonder if anyone will use the wide screen thing, I suppose some might, but who knows.
gonna be a crazy ride when he's thru... but those other two are both pretty impressive, its just not my 'thing' - But I'd certainly use them
if nice systems at that aspect ratio come out.

SyncTERM does (and has for a long time) reported the window size via
Telnet:

Yep, I worked out I hadn't disabled the status line and was expecting
132x37 to be reported in that mode, but because of the status line I
suppose it was reporting 132x36.
It's working for me now.

Gotcha.
Oh, and ANSI-based terminal/window size detection also works (in SSH
and RLogin modes too).

And, hoo boy do I have no intention of doing a c132 calendar project.
Well, okay, a _monthly_ one wouldn't be so bad, but I think I'd prefer having my ANSI production being 1 or 2 a month rather than 30+.

Netrunner for some reason sets NAWS height to 0, so was pretty unusable, so now I can check if it's 0 and discard it and use the ANSI dected instead.
LOL - yes, especially since the 132c mode will give you so much more
room to work with/ON. :P
i suppose some of this is why "pre release beta test" is plastered in capital letters on the welcome screen hehe

Mine just says beta 22? Maybe you have a newer version?
I don't think alpha and beta really mean much anymore though. Seems to be used more as a way to kind of cop out from having bugs, "well it is
alpha"..
In the case of mystic and I assume netrunner too, it seems to be in a perpetual alpha state, and now alpha is kind of considered "release"
where "pre-alpha" is considered "beta".
I'm not saying one way is right or wrong, but with so many different interpretations on what is alpha and what is beta and what is not, it's
kind of hard to tell what's supposed to be stable...
And really, everything is supposed to be stable.. bugs aren't intentional and are found in "release" as well.
Maybe alpha and beta would mean something if we had a quality assurance department, and a large pool of testers, but this is BBS land.
Oh well

Thankyou for that!
I can now correctly detect the terminal size on both SSH and telnet in
both syncterm and netrunner.

Hmm, I didn't know about ANSI-based terminal window size detection. I'll have to look into that.
I am just using NAWS in telnet and the one built into SSH, but it might
be good to have a fallback.

132x37 = 4884
80x25 = 2000
So over twice as many characters to work with.
I assume there might be some things that are more efficient, but I'll defer to The Godfather or anyone else who has actual experience with the format.
I'm still digging my heels in and saying no way. 80x25; thats what I
know, thats what I love... :P
I don't know what was happening with netrunner though, as apparently that's supposed to send window size too, but don't care enough to figure it out.
