Adom Sage Question

[Ybirk]

Hello everyone, So recently someone suggested to me that I should start playing with the front end known as ADOM Sage. I tried and I thought it was great and I will mostly likely continue to use it because the color texts really have helped me know when something important is going on.

My question is, I want to be able to add highlight the phase "hits you" in red letters so I know when my character is taking damage. Should I go into the .msg file and add the phase under the red section or will I have to do something else because "hits you" isn't a full in game sentence?

Thanks!

The important section of adomsage's readme.txt is this one:

You can add your own messages to the sage.msg file if you wish, but
the messages that you add must match exactly the internal format used
by ADOM. To determine ADOM's internal format for a particular message,
run adom-sage with the --debug-level=3 option and check /tmp/sage.log
after running. Note that some messages are processed in multiple
stages; you may see several 'Message in' and 'Message out' entries in
/tmp/sage.log for a single 'New message'. For message coloring and
no_skip setup, you can list any of the 'message in' or 'message out'
messages for message coloring and no_skip setup. For suppress to work
properly, you must list the final message in or message out.

you'll notice something like "%s hits you" (not exactly sure, just guesstimating) and that's the one you're looking for. Further testing will be needed to see if that one will also catch "The -foo- critically hits you" or the damage from breath weapons/missiles...

From memory, 'hits you' and 'critically hits you' are two completely different messages. *shrug* but what do I know?
