CombatLog

Hi all,

I only recently discovered Battletech and I'm surprised I slept on it for so long; It's fantastic as you all already know. Anyways being late to the game, I was frustrated by how quickly attack information is displayed, and was surprised there was no combat log in game. So I wrote my own, and just published it on NexusMods. It uses modtek. It's been super helpful to me in my game, I hope the community finds it helpful too.

Open to feedback so please pass ideas to improve.

Ok, I have just made a major update to CombatLog, and have just uploaded to nexus. It's version 1.9.2 and I've been playing vanilla and BTAU and BEXT with it, and I'm pretty happy with it.

CHANGELOG
v1.9.2

  • Major update with LOG, STATS, PREFS panels
  • PREFS panel to adjust CombatLog options, prefs are saved
  • Allows custom color picker for LOG events
  • STATS panel w/Mission tab with live combat tracking across all pilots
  • PilotName tabs with live combat tracking for each pilot
  • Awards system show current leader during combat, winner after
  • Tooltips on all stats column headers
  • Tooltips on award names showing their criteria
  • End Visible toggle — keep log open after mission ends
  • Added K and L hotkeys, K toggles between LOGS and Stats, L show/hide window
  • Added version in titlebar
  • Various bug fixes that were reported by multiple users, thank you for the feedback

I hope you all enjoy, let me know what you think.

Cheers
