Specifically, when tweaking them from the game, what does "fort," "Report," and "Report (Active)" mean? There are two files called announcements.txt. How do I deal with having two files about announcements?

In 50.11 (at least in the current Steam version - I forget the point number for sure) announcements can be customised in the game settings menu. You can probably still tweak them from the .txts but the presence of two of them makes me uncertain of which to poke. The Steam version's file structure has a few differences to classic that I'm not used to yet. (I tend not to touch if I'm not sure for fear of blowing up everything, heh.) I'm not in front of it right now but I believe there's a button for announcements which is filterable, though the filters kind of baffle me at the moment. I just leave them all on and scroll through things.

I think the 'Report' just means it writes it to the in-game announcements that you can now go back and look at after you've cleared them off the side of the screen. I'm not sure about the other specifications so I hope someone more knowledgeable will hop on and clarify that stuff.

Hope that helps some!

"Fort" is announcements for fortress mode (i.e., not object testing arena mode or adventure mode.)
"Report" means combat, sparring, or hunting reports.
"Report (Active)" means it'll be added to a report only if the last entry was less than or equal to 500 ticks ago.
