#Making embed wider
solid kestrel
plain galleon
no
polar sky
not even a fancy workaround?
plain galleon
not a good one, no
polar sky
I've managed to be a bit hacky and make it wider, but it only makes the background wider - the content doesn't fill
visual horizon
Embeds are flex to the screen
high sandal
you can't have 5 inline fields
visual horizon
Embeds are flex to the screen
Depends on your monitor resolution, so consistent results are almost impossible
polar sky
Embeds are flex to the screen
:/
doesn't seem to be taking up anywhere near enough
I've seen wider embeds than mine before
high sandal
they flex to content
polar sky
So it refuses to let me have more than 3 fields in one line? outright?
high sandal
yes that's how discord works
polar sky
and can't get around that?
high sandal
you'd have to make a single field show up as multiple, or similar for the description

gotcha
visual horizon
Idk
high sandal
no, fields are fixed to 3 per line
visual horizon
Yeah, but wider titles might make the embed itself wider to accommodate longer titles
I don't have any ideia if it works tbh
polar sky

I tried forcing the embed wider, that made the background wider to fit the content but it refused to fit more inlines
high sandal
no, fields are fixed to 3 per line
.
you'd need to not use 5 fields
unfortunately, discord doesn't allow html insertion
eternal phoenix
on mobile it will look sht either way lol

running on no sleep, here - is there a reason Cargos is being pushed over, I've padded the strings to a length of 25

@high sandal mentioning as it was your advice
polar sky
any advice what to use in place?
high sandal
but not sure if discord processes tabs to have them work as such
polar sky
tabs might be closer
{
'name': ships.map(ship => {
const display_name = `${ship_by_capacity[ship.capacity]} ${ship.emissary} ${ship.name.padEnd(8, '\t')}`;
return display_name;
}).splice(0, 3).join(' '),
'value': '\u200B',
'inline': false,
},
{
'name': ships.map(ship => {
const display_name = `${ship_by_capacity[ship.capacity]} ${ship.emissary} ${ship.name.padEnd(8, '\t')}`;
return display_name;
}).splice(3).join(' '),
'value': '\u200B',
'inline': false,
},
closest I've got with tabs
another tab ruins it
polar sky
fine tune with spaces or ?
high sandal
spaces wouldn't be reliable
font differences would break it just due to how spacing works
high sandal
an alternative would be to make a table and send it as an image ig
polar sky
you can?
high sandal
no
discord wouldn't be able to process it
discord, as well as 90% of the internet, uses unicode
the other 10% uses ascii
everything you're sending here is using unicode, spaces are unicode, tabs are unicode, the zwsp \u200B is unicode
polar sky
ahah I did it
const display_name = `${ship_by_capacity[ship.capacity]} ${ship.emissary} ${ship.name.padEnd(8, '\t')}\t`;}
for some reason adding another tab without using it in the pad function works
high sandal
ah yeah since that's not how tabs work lol
polar sky
but if I pad to 9, it doesn't
