announcements.txt ghost announcement?
« on: December 21, 2014, 12:23:21 pm »
I would like to make announcements for "Urist McCasper has risen and is haunting the fortress!" and "Urist McCasper has been put to rest" appear in a box rather than as regular announcements. (I also want it to pause and recenter, but I know how to do that.) I know how to do that but I can't seem to find the right tag for it. What is the tag for these announcements?

Aside from that, what's the difference between BOX and DO_MEGA?

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

Might have better luck off in the modding forum with this, they tend to be more knowledgeable about things like tags and tokens than the gameplay questions forum (which is sully about player-side questions instead of code-side ones).

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!
