In game announcements log is not being written to
« on: January 11, 2024, 12:14:13 am »
I understand "Popup," "Pause," "Recenter," and "Alert" in the announcements settings but can someone describe the others to me in detail? The in game announcements log isn't getting written to, I'm checking gamelog.txt.

Didn't you already ask about this?

IDK why gamelog.txt wouldn't be written to, other than some kind of file permissions issue.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?

Not gamelog.txt, the in game announcements. Clicking on the "A" in the upper left corner of the screen, lots of things aren't being recorded in the announcements screen.

I still don't understand the announcements settings.

The 'A' should contain announcements set to "Fort", IIRC.

Can you give an example of something you expect to see in the announcement screen that isn't showing up?

In the announcements window, the all tab is empty, and I only have information from the combat, sparring, and hunting tabs.

I've found how to solve my problem: restore the defaults. I copied Dwarf Fortress/data/init to Dwarf Fortress/prefs.
