Too much spar log to view older game announcement
« on: March 21, 2018, 08:50:56 am »

I wonder if this problem occurs to people who keep large militia.

It seems that game log has limited size. Once it hits the limit, older log is can't be read. However, there are so many dwarves sparring, that the spar log alone hits the limit very soon. I can view only a couple of lines of game announcement.

I search for this issue, and it turns out that there's total limit of 3000 lines of game log, and there's no work around...

tell me about it. I have 260 soldiers training, and it seems to affect the announcements too. Like most of the time I only see 1 or 2 lines.

Indeed, sparring is very spammy. The sparring log should be in its own category.

From previous posts on the same topic, I am under the impression that the data/init/announcements.txt can be changed in some way to help with this.

Yeah. Customising announcements.txt takes a while, but it can make life much easier.

Also, if you ever figure out why poets/bards/dancers just randomly start butchering people/getting butchered, please don't fix it, I love never knowing when a dance party will turn into a slaughter.
