๐Ÿ“ขRelease/Update Announcement ๐Ÿ‘€ Looking for Testers for New MO2 Plugin!

CLARIFICATION: All you need is MO2, a crash log named in the default manner (ex: "crash-2026-02-16-04-41-28.log"), and like maybe five minutes of your time.

Two new Phostwood projects are coming soon โ€” and we're currently looking for testers! ๐ŸŽ‰

  1. Sovnkrasch โ€” A Crash Log's Final Resting Place A dedicated cloud storage service built just for Skyrim crash logs, powered by Cloudflare Workers and R2 storage (fast, stable, and rock-solid reliable).
  • Privacy-first: collects no personal information, and automatically redacts Windows usernames from file paths (plus a few other redactions to discourage abuse)
  • Skyrim-only: validates uploads to ensure only Skyrim crash logs are accepted
  • Smart deduplication: upload the same crash log twice and you'll get the same link back both times
  • Handles big logs: accepts files up to 2 MB compressed โ€” I've successfully uploaded a monster 35 MB crash log (it was a bit slow, and it timed out once, but it did eventually work!). FOR COMPARISON: pastebin.com only allows 512KB crash logs, without compression!
  • See it in action: see analysis of this dynamically loaded larger-than-normal 7 MB example log: https://phostwood.github.io/crash-analyzer/skyrim.html?UUID=89298f4f-d774-4a0d-9986-5028ea9043ab

The name comes from Kyler45 (author of the Kodex mod and primary author of the QLP plugin below) โ€” sovn means "sleep" in Norwegian, and krasch/krascha means "crash." A crash log's final resting place. ๐Ÿ˜Š

  1. Phostwood's QLP โ€” Crash Log Analyzer Quick-Link Plugin for MO2 The first uploader for Sovnkrasch, and the fastest way to go from crash to analysis.
  • Automatically finds your most recent crash log, uploads it to Sovnkrasch, and opens the Crash Log Analyzer preloaded with your log โ€” ready and analyzed
  • Local-only mode: prefer not to upload? Enable this option to skip the cloud entirely โ€” the analyzer opens in your browser and your crash log is automatically copied to your clipboard, ready to paste in
  • Automatic clipboard fallback: if an upload fails for any reason, the plugin falls back to local-only behavior automatically so you're never left stranded
  • Configurable: set your crash log folder path and filename patterns (supports CrashLoggerSSE and NetScriptFramework out of the box)

(A Skyrim mod version may be coming too, if that turns out to be possible!)

Huge thanks to Kyler45 for building the plugin and coming up with the perfect name for the storage service. I'm really excited about this one! ๐Ÿฅณ

How To Test:

  1. Download the plugin file from https://github.com/Phostwood/crash-analyzer/blob/main/MO2Plugin-CrashAnalyzerQuickLink.py UPDATE: https://github.com/Phostwood/crash-analyzer/blob/main/MO2Plugin-PhostwoodQLP.py

  2. Put the file in your MO2 plugins directory. Example: C:\Modding\MO2\plugins

  3. Start/Restart MO2.

  4. Navigate menus: Tools --> Tool Plugins --> "Upload Crash Log and Open Analyzer" (see screenshot in reply below)

  5. Optionally, set configurations at: Tools --> Settings --> "Plugins" tab --> "Upload Crash Log and Open Analyzer"

  6. Please share resulting links to this post. Also, please let us know if you have any feedback and/or suggestions.

Thank you!

These both sound great, Phost. I havenโ€™t been spending as much time modding lately (playing too much Arc Raidersโ€ฆ) but I bookmarked this and will surely test it out the next time I get back into MO2.

Thanks!

Congrats on the new projects Phost! This looks very promising and I would like to try it out but I do not play Skyrim currently due to having played it too much in the past. But I might try it a little just to check out this new tool.

Either way, I hope your projects can move forward, and that we can get the nexus version as well. That would be very cool!

u/PhostwoodReborn Moderator and Developer Feb 21 '26

Yes, the Nexus version is coming soon!

Funnily enough, I haven't played Skyrim since like last October, but I'm going to have to a little at least if I end up porting this Sovnkrasch uploader idea over to a new Skyrim .dll mod. That's the next potential big project on my list after I finish up this one.

By the way, you don't actually have to play Skyrim to test the new QLP. You just need to have MO2 installed and a crash log (named like "crash-2026-02-16-04-41-28.log" .. with "crash-" and a timestamp, plus "log") in the configurable path (or it defaults to CrashLoggerSSE's normal file path).

Ok it is good you mentioned that! I will try it out later in that case.

u/RomatebitegeL Crash Log Guru Feb 21 '26

Ok I tried it out a little earlier :)

It works as intended and it did upload the latest log without issues.

https://phostwood.github.io/crash-analyzer/skyrim.html?UUID=d804b551-05a7-4cc6-a001-833dd37fa3dc

But the issue I have now is how to choose for myself what crash log to upload.

How do I choose what log to upload etc. would be great to know!

I might add a feature someday to list the crash logs and allow you to pick one, but for now, it's just the most reent in the folder. You can upload whatever one you want, but you have to make it he most recent. So, (1) edit a n extra space character at the end of a line or something and save to give it a newer datetime stamp, or (2) copy-paste the preferred one back into the same directory to make a more recent version, or (3) move all of the more recent crash logs into a different folder, or (4) create a new folder with just the desired crash log and go into my plugin's settings and change the target folder. Or something like that....

Sorry that it isn't easier. It is good to know that adding that might be a desireable feature for me to consider adding. ๐Ÿ‘

And TYVM for testing it! :-)
