{{en/Historic|'''The place for configuring message options has been integrated into the [[en/Archive/Manual/Settings/Advanced Settings/Interface]] in OpenTTD 1.3.0 or newer.'''}}


This is where you change which [[en/Archive/Manual/News messages]] to display and how to display them.

You can open the message settings dialog by pressing the [[File:en/Manual/Manual html 2a55c3aa.png|News]]News button in the [[en/Manual/Game interface]].

In [[en/Archive/OpenTTD/OpenTTD 1.3.0]], these settings were moved to [[en/Archive/Manual/Settings/Advanced Settings/Interface]].

== Message types ==
All message types are listed below. For each type, you can set how to display it:
* 'Off' means do not display this type of message,
* 'Summary' means the message will scroll in the bottom status bar, and
* 'Full' means a news window will pop up.

=== Arrival of first vehicle at player's station ===
E.g. "First train arrives at..." for player's stations

=== Arrival of first vehicle at competitors's station ===
E.g. "First train arrives at..." for competitors's stations

=== Accidents/disasters ===
Information about accidents (e.g. aircraft crashes, train collision, etc) and [[en/Manual/Disasters|disasters]] (e.g. UFO landings)

=== Company information ===
New companies being founded, companies being taken over or declared bankrupt.

=== Economy changes ===
Information about production increase/decrease for industries.

=== Advice/information on player's vehicles ===
Information about player's vehicles (e.g. "Train 1 has too few orders in the schedule").

=== New vehicles ===

=== Changes to cargo acceptance ===
Sometimes conditions around a station change, causing it to accept new cargo or to stop accepting cargo. This is most likely to happen with Passenger, Mail and Goods stations, due to towns being reconstructed.

Whenever a new subsidy is available or an existing subsidy is withdrawn you'll be notified.

== Setting for all messagetypes ==
Switches same setting to all message types (off/summary/full).
