Has anyone been able to edit the announcements to pause the game? I want it to pause on migrants, but editing the Announcements file doesn't seem to function any more.

It's worked for me. In the case of migrant arrivals, make sure to change the D_D part to BOX.

Code: [Select]

[MIGRANT_ARRIVAL_NAMED:A_D:D_D] --> [MIGRANT_ARRIVAL_NAMED:A_D:BOX]
[MIGRANT_ARRIVAL:A_D:D_D] --> [MIGRANT_ARRIVAL:A_D:BOX]
[D_MIGRANTS_ARRIVAL:A_D:D_D] --> [D_MIGRANTS_ARRIVAL:A_D:BOX]
[D_MIGRANT_ARRIVAL:A_D:D_D] --> [D_MIGRANT_ARRIVAL:A_D:BOX]
[D_MIGRANT_ARRIVAL_DISCOURAGED:A_D:D_D] --> [D_MIGRANT_ARRIVAL_DISCOURAGED:A_D:BOX]
[D_NO_MIGRANT_ARRIVAL:A_D:D_D] --> [D_NO_MIGRANT_ARRIVAL:A_D:BOX]
Alternatively you can just add

Code: [Select]

:P on the end for the usual alert but also with a pause. So like:

Code: [Select]

[MIGRANT_ARRIVAL:A_D:D_D:P]
:R works too for recentering onto the migrants.

I must've done something wrong before, and I don't know what it was but it must've been different, because now it works. So thanks, you did more than I can say

While I'm on the topic, does anyone know if there is an Announcements line, or which one it is perhaps, that can be used to pause the game when combat starts? I've seen it asked several times in the chat and the only answer I and others has been able to give is "check the Announcements file", which is rather unsatisfying since there are a bunch of combat-related lines in there and hard to know what does what.

I don't think there's any way without having the game pause each time someone throws a punch.
