Weird colored letters showing up in the top left corner
« on: September 23, 2010, 05:16:07 am »

I have no clue what these are, why they're there, or what they mean.

I regularly see "REC" in all red, and a bunch of other stuff.

At the moment i see an orange C and a light blue S, which is new to me.

Anyway, what are these for? What do they mean?

Press R
They mean:
C:Unread combat logs
S:Unread sparring logs

Oh.

Well, that was a little anticlimatic.

Thanks.

Also, REC in red means you have the macro recorder active (ctrl-r I think)

And if you see H, it means unread hunting log.
That's probably all there is to it.

Hey, that sounds kinda bad to have running for several ingame years.

I'll have to make sure to not do that in the future.

More amusing would be to then play it back and see what kind of havoc 3-5 years worth of commands would wreak on your dwarves.
