  mod comparison: chatlog vs chat_record

  Benefit of chatlog over chat_record:

  • custom settings for timestamp format
  • setting to split log files by date, and has it's own folder so it doesn't create clutter
  • writes chat logs in realtime

  as a note, none of the mods log commands entered in the chat

  Useful chat logging mod

  Potential privacy concerns of logging chat in a permanent manner aside, this is a very solid mod for logging and reading back chat in a better way than the built-in way of grepping for chat messages in the debug log.

  The default configuration is a bit odd having logs split per day enabled while also including the date in each chat log line, which is a bit verbose when the file already tells you the date of the chat messages. This can of course be configured by setting chatlog.format to just %H:%M:%S, omitting the date.
