ANOTHER newbie question. :c
« on: February 27, 2011, 09:28:49 am »

Hello everyone.

So I have a very quick question and here it is. Is there any way to have a adventure mode equivalent combat log while in fortress mode, thanks for taking time to read my newbie question. :>

Now, don't hate me for it, but I've never played adventure mode.
Still, I suppose you mean the logs of the kind: "The ettin grabs the axedwarf by the second upper front teeth and shakes violently. The dwarf explodes in gore." or some such.
If this be true, then take note of a column of letters appearing from time to time on the left, upper side of the screen in fortress mode. It should be "H"(unting), "S"(parring), "C"(ombat) IIRC. These are notifications that new, unread combat reports are available. Press {r} to read them.

What do you need it for? You can pause the game and advance it one step at a time, reading the logs as they appear.
