Re: Re: Technical question + update
Vincent: I've done a bit of checking into your question, and here is my theory:
In the Game file is the message you receive when YOUR CIV researches a new tech is:
@CIVADVANCE
@title=Civilization Advance
@width=320
%STRING0 %STRING1 discover the secret of %STRING2.
There is no corresponding message in the Game file for the message you get when ANOTHER CIV (that you have an embassy with) researches a new tech.
However, in the Labels file, there is a line with the word "develop". As far as I can determine, when another civ researches a new tech, the game uses the same message in the Game file, but replaces "discover the secret of" with "develop", from the Labels file.
You might be able to remove the popup message for new techs if you delete the text of one or both files. If not, you're probably stuck with it.
BTW, this is probably too obvious, but if you don't have an embassy with another civ, you don't get popups when it discovers a new tech.
