How do I modify the embark message?
« on: April 13, 2014, 05:18:44 pm »

I've seen a few mods do this, although I don't know how. Google gave me nothing and the files on their own are unreadable. I'd like to be able to add some flair to my mod, or at least remove mention of the mountainhomes and "striking the earth" when it wouldn't make sense.

Specifically, you'll need to use this in order to edit "data/announcements/fortressintro".

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Yep, you need to convert wtf files to text and back. It's easier than you think.
