[minor] Max columns is 80

Post by tangar »

I'm not sure is it a bug or just a "feature" of the game so...

As I mentioned in other topics now its quite hard to customize windows size and fonts. Main obstacle there - limit for max columns is 80 (in config file TomeNET.ini).

If this value could be increased to 150 (for example) it would be possible to use full wight at 1680x1050 resolution and use big fonts.

p.s.
As I know, Lightman already working at this problem at his new game client, no result yet. I hope its possible to solve this problem.

This seems this restriction of 80 came from IBM punch card:

Still with my new font (21x31) this problem doesn't really bother anymore :)

Limit of 80 is hardcoded. Nothing to do about that, unless you re-code the whole system like it was done in Angband (or PWMAngband), which allows resizeable windows.
