Alert Manager

--- ATTENTION ---
This mod needs DFHack to be installed. You can simply get it here (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2346660/DFHack__Dwarf_Fortress_Modding_Engine/)

Overview
This tool will help you manage alerts in the DF.
There are not a lot of options to manage alerts in the game, so this tool is designed to mitigate this problem.

For now, you have these options:

1. Remove alerts from cycle/repetitive orders. For example, you have a standard order to create new barrels when no empty barrels are left. If you don’t want to get “spam” about such notifications, enable this option in the UI. The script will simply scan alerts, and if the number of orders isn’t changed, then the script will remove the alert. The report related to the removed alert will still be available in the gamelog.txt

2. Remove alerts about slaughtered animals. For example, your chicken hatched and you need to end around 10-15 poor things. The script will remove alerts after every slaughtering, so you won’t be annoyed with 10-15 notifications in a row. Perfectly works with Autobuther. Still, reports will be available in the gamelog.txt

3. Remove alerts about sparring. The combat log of the sparring itself will still be available in the gamelog.txt

4. Remove alerts about hunting. It won't remove alerts about the combat itself (cos it's more complicated to separate exactly hunting from the rest), but at least you won't be spammed with "Urist is hunting".

Use gui/alertmanager to manage the script’s options.

Q&A

Q: Can I enable this mod in the existing save?
A: Sure thing, just copy the mod to the Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\data\installed_mods

Q: I see alerts, but they just quickly disappear.
NA: It shouldn't be a case now but let me know if it is.
A: That’s the thing. Unfortunately, there’s no such function as onAnnouncement in the DFHack, so the script should check the alerts in real-time. That’s why sometimes you can notice this “blink” of the alert.

Q: I’m pretty sure it removed the one-time job notification. Is it possible?
A: In some really rare cases, yes. For example, if you added a new order and the one-time order was completed at the same time. I’ve noticed it only once while testing, but let me know if it happens too often, and I’ll try to figure out the solution/fix.
