UFO-Scripts/msgoptions.ufo

This script file allows you to define default settings for message notifications on game startup. These settings are stored for every savegame, as it is intended that default settings may be changed during gameplay (e.g. you are no longer interested in some message categories).

Actually there is only one default msgoptions section, which contains lines in the following format. Every line describes a positiv (checked) option - all missing values are considered to be unchecked.

msgoptions default {
    <notify_type> <pause|notify|sound>
}

pause

stop game time if event associated with notify_type occurs

notify

create a notification message for notify_type event

sound

play notification sound for message if available

See src/client/menu/m_messages.c and src/client/menu/m_messages.h for available notification types. MSO_CheckAddNewMessage should be used to add new messages. This method checks whether to add a message, play sound and whether to stop game time.

See this howto to include more notify types.
