lol, I'm really kicking myself over this one.
I'm writing a channel display and I cannot get my text to align properly.
Here is what it looks like...
When the server speaks to the client, it sends message (Max 200 char) to the client, which the client has to break into smaller messages that fit in each display row with set amount of characters.
eg...
A channel is composed of about 100 rows, where each row is drawn individually from all the others.
Each row holds flag_FCharacters number of characters.
/* This procedure appends the message on the channel. */
void sDealWithMessage (char lcChannel, struct gtRGB loColor, char *lacMessage)
{
struct gtChannelRow *laoChannel;
int liX, liLength, liOffset, liShifter;
/* Get which channel we are appending to. */
if(lcChannel == flag_ChnDefault)
laoChannel = gaoChannelDefault;
else if(lcChannel == flag_ChnGamechat)
laoChannel = gaoChannelGamechat;
else if(lcChannel == flag_ChnTradechat)
laoChannel = gaoChannelTradechat;
/* Append the message onto the given channel. */
for(liX=0;liX<100;liX++)
{
if(laoChannel[liX].lucUsed == 0)
{
lblFill:
/* We need to continously post until all of the message is gone. */
liLength = strlen(lacMessage);
liOffset = 0;
while(liLength > 0)
{
/* If its the first line, no padding. */
if(liOffset == 0)
{
laoChannel[liX].lucUsed = 1;
laoChannel[liX].loColor = loColor;
for(liShifter = 0; liShifter < 10; liShifter++)
if(lacMessage[flag_FCharacters - liShifter-1] == ' ' ||
lacMessage[flag_FCharacters - liShifter-1] == 0)
break;
strncpy(laoChannel[liX].lacMessage, &lacMessage[0], flag_FCharacters - liShifter);
liLength -= (flag_FCharacters - liShifter);
liOffset += (flag_FCharacters - liShifter);
liX++;
}
/* If this text took up multiple lines, than pad! */
else
{
strcpy(laoChannel[liX].lacMessage, " ");
laoChannel[liX].lucUsed = 1;
laoChannel[liX].loColor = loColor;
for(liShifter = 0; liShifter < 10; liShifter++)
if(lacMessage[liOffset + flag_FCharacters - liShifter-1] == ' ' ||
lacMessage[liOffset + flag_FCharacters - liShifter-1] == 0)
break;
strncpy(&laoChannel[liX].lacMessage[5], &lacMessage[liOffset], flag_FCharacters - 5 - liShifter);
liLength -= flag_FCharacters - 5 - liShifter;
liOffset += flag_FCharacters - 5 - liShifter;
liX++;
}
}
break;
}
if(liX >= 89)
{
/* If we are approaching the end, memmove the bottom up. */
memset(&laoChannel[0], 0, sizeof(struct gtChannelRow) * 10);
memmove(&laoChannel[0],&laoChannel[10], 89*sizeof(struct gtChannelRow));
goto lblFill;
}
}
}
The problem is that, every line after the second isn't separating the edges properly, as shown in the screenshot.
What am I doing wrong? [bawling]
