I know this has been covered here before, but;

Is it a prompt that has to be changed for 5-digit message numbers to display correctly in the Message Index Listing?

I think Avon has given this information before, but I allow unlimited messages to live in my bases, and since many of my bases now have more than 9999 messages, in listings they are currently displayed like:

1044
1044
1044
1044
1044

When it should be:
10441
10442
10443
10444
10445

... I'm sure I just have to change one digit in my prompts - does anyone know which prompt that might be? [When I go search and find it, I'll post a reply in case I beat the answer. :P]

Thx,

These can be a pain to find, yes...

I *think* this would be prompts 411 and 412:

411 pipeCRpipe15Msg # From To SubjectpipeCRpipe09pipe$D79Ä

412 pipe15pipe$R06pipe&5 pipe09pipe$R20pipe&1 pipe$R20pipe&2 pipe10pipe$T30pipe&3

(replace "pipe" with "|")

If I recall correctly, I checked the structs and asked g00r00 and found out it could take 6 digits at most (999999 messages).

Thanks - I'm gonna get those two updated asap; its a minor annoyance, but one that can be fixed for some time to come...

Appreciate you sending out details, as I hadn't been able to find it.

Hello again, paulie420!

Revisiting this old topic. =)

I stumbled across this problem myself now. I thought I had adjusted the
message numbers everywhere to show 6 digits, but apparently not. :-D

It appears this is defined by prompts 399-401 and themes/<theme
name or default>/text/ansimlst.ans.

I can't remember what 411-412 would be then -- perhaps some message scan result screen for local, private messages ("e-mails")...

Sorry for the confusion. =)

Best regards

Thanks for updating... back when you'd answered 411-412, I looked - and moved on. :P Now, checking out 399-401 I think the issue is the "!$L04"? That maybe it just needs "!$L05" for 5 spaces?

At any rate; I think I'll try to make those changes.. I'll check the wiki about !$L first, but I think I'm smelling what yer putting down...

Yep! Or 06 for 6 digits (as some of the general chat echos are halfway to 100000 messages). =)
