Wretched Focus-Stealing Announcements
« on: February 14, 2015, 06:43:18 pm »

Is there any way to prevent DF from stealing focus from whatever it is you're looking at during an announcement? Just as I get my view situated on something, Urist McCrafter wants to build an artifact, and the moment I get view re-adjusted he claims a building and just as I get my view readjusted he starts his artifact. The view 3 levels over the trees in the middle of the map is nice and all, but it shouldn't have to be like this.

Check out announcements.txt in the /data/init folder.

You need to remove the "R" or "RECENTER" tag from each entry in announcements.txt you don't want to recentre.

See the Wiki for more details: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Announcements.txt

It's a dwarf.  Their natural habitat is "trapped on the wrong side of a wall".

Flinging children halfway across the map to land in magma is good, wholesome fun, but extramarital reproduction?  Why, that's just unseemly!

Thanks! A global replace on :R later, and I'm back in focused business.
