Here is the offending code, and here is what it outputs

    lngth = (70 - strlen_color(title))/2;
    for( ; lngth >= 0; lngth--)
    {
	strcat(title, " ");
    }
    sprintf(buf,"|/\\_\{W%70s{x\_\\n\r", title);
    add_buf(buffer,buf);

 \/_/_____________________________________________/_/  

The line that has "the Gods of forgotten empire" is what
the code outputs (that section, the rest is ok) and
I dont know how to center the (title) in the scroll properly, anybody get what im trying to do?

Thanks for the tip, here it is, like it shows up on my mud

You could try %.70s - that might work.
