OK the concept is pretty simple:

DF outputs reams of information to gamelog.txt
We have regular expressions.

therefore:

A bit of python later and I have a program that will read through the gamelog (as the game writes new lines to it) and:
(a) play sounds when user defined text snippets are found
(b) also create a window of filtered messages

I've thrown a first pass up on DFFD:

It requires python and a sound library: http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/

Oh, and it doesn't actually come with a collection of sounds at this stage, use whatever you have lying around already. I guess that makes it a game message filter with sound without sounds...

I just wish there was a way to turn on combat messages in recent versions...

Hey, sounds great! I expect a lot of "smash", "flop" etc. during the combat later, and also it helps when you want to run your fortress AFK. Great idea, I wonder how you're the first to make it .

Definitely going to give this a look later on. Can't wait to have all my jobs cancelled notifications sound off as "You must build additional pylons!"

No, no wait... on second thought that's a horrible idea. But I will check this out.
