How do you get it to display a second line of text for example:
________________
|...Line 1 of Text...|
|...Line 2 of Text...|
|AAAAAAAAAaAAA|
|aAaA{[OK]}AAaaA|
|______________ |

Thats supposed to be the message box, if you didn't guess.

I don't think there is a way. One way to do it it to use spaces on the first line so the text after it goes on the second one.

It automatically wraps around, but with the resolution I have the game it it will display an error message before it wraps the text (error because of to many characters).

And the thing you done was? Or is it a 'renegade forums secret'?

The reason i'm asking this is because others may want the same effect but if you don't tell them now they'll just create another topic.

Using a \n works in msg and ppage, so it might work here too.

It simply wrapped around when I had enough text, but only one word, even one more character and it would have displayed an [null] message in the box. If my resolution was set to 600 x 480 I'm sure it would have wrapped around 3 time.

But its nice to know that /n does the same function as hitting the enter button.

escaping is programmer talk. it means you put a "\" before a charater.

Placing a newline char \n does work in pamsg/msg/amsg and all the others. But note that it doesn't work in FDS console or in IRC
or everywhere where you have to press return to send the command.
\n doesn't work there. It only works in programms when you compile it. Then the \n gets translated into newline and Renegade can handle it. So it would work in scripts.dll or bots like brenbot,
which are sending commands direct way to the FDS.

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life

ATM i use "JFW_Message_Send_Death", this works fine and displays the Kill-message.

BUT "JFW_Message_Send_Custom_Team" seems to have a bug and displays not the message (e.g. "...under attack"), but the numeral message, what is used for the event! (like "8011")...

???
