Tells in my portal client are cut off around 50 chars or so. I've
looked for a option/preference and browsed the gameaxle page
but haven't come up with anything.
Is this a known issue or am I missing something?
Also, just to clarify, this is when the tells are sent to
the tell monitor.
Thanks for any help.

IIRC there is an option on the tell monitor to show you multiple lines,
its in the menu bar somewhere.
I am in linux at the moment, and cannot open portal.

Yeah, there is an option titled "show expanded tells" which
gives an extra line but still cuts off the tells.
Thanks though.

If it's doing what I think tis' doing, it's not "cutting off the
tells", but just showing one line of your command line instead of
the whole thing.
There should be some option to display multiple lines for your
command line. Could be teh same thing Zif suggested, don't
remember.

Ok first you need to make a event on the line in your score
| Experience : *,* Explored :
notice that i single out the ',' if you don't do that portal will
think it's a string
make a var @xp or something for the first * use a dummy for the second
then at the commands for that event put in these
// ;process @xpfromscore=math(@xpfromscore*1000)
// ;process @ENEMY=math(@xpfromscore/2440)
without the // offcourse
now if you type score you will see that it works but you offcourse
you want it to be updated when you slay a mob
so make a new event
You receive * exp.
make another var for the * something like @addxp
then in the commands for this event put in these lines
// ;process @xpfromscore=math(@xpfromscore+@addxp)
// ;process @ENEMY=math(@xpfromscore/2440)
offcourse again without the //'s
please note that the 2440 is your goal xp so 100% will be that
nummber (or over) also note that the nummber is realy 244000 i
discarded the last 2 00's becouse i wanted a % otherwise you have to
do the outcome *100
know bugs in the script are that if someone types 'You receive
1000000000 exp.' the system thinks it's the event and add's it to
your bar. a simple work around if this happens is to just type score
and you got the right amount again
i hope it works for you peeps

couple of thoughts, why trigger on score why not your prompt?
and why not use the percent to next level in score and let the
mud calculate thsi for you?
Also your bug, you need to write better events use ^ to guarantee
that the You receive... starts at the begininning of a line
is one trick you can do.

i din't know you could get XP value at prompt :)
thnx for the '^' tip does this mean that $ also equals End Of Line
