SEV 1.38 - new combat log!

[se5a]

combat details window is kind of like the current one, but only half the length, since the pre battle and post battle are on the same line. also there's the cool info like disabled, imobilzed disarmed etc.

I'm interested if somehow it fixes a problem with combat replays through PBW, that they don't work sometimes. I realise it's probably a PBW thing but maybe it is caused by having such a long report section. We'll see.

This sounds most good to me. Sure, combat reports where you had a couple hundred fighters mixing it up will still be stupidly long, but now they'll be half as stupidly long!

nonono. you just get a SMALL note in the news log, with a DETAILS button. clicking THIS button will give you a DETALED list which is half as long.

In our PBW game we has some combat log issues where our combat files got scrambled. You would see battles that were not the ones you were involved in. Though, that is not my point I want to make.

My point:

We deleted the combat and movement logs in our game two turns ago. The turn we deleted the logs it came through with no replay options for combat along with no recorded movement logs. The turn after that it ran smooth and the logs loaded for both combat and movement.

My key point about all this is that the turn files went from 18 megs to the past turn at 6 megs. I think we should write into the PBW code to periodically erase the combat logs on the PBW server. Yes, we will have a turn of no reports, but then after the file decreases in size by a huge margin, plus the turn ran smooth as silk.

Try (test) that in a few of your games and see what results we get. It may be worth it to sorta clean out (reboot) the combat/movement logs.

How do you delete the logs in a game if you are not a PBW admin? That might be what is holding up my latest KOTH game... if Parabolize knew about this he might be able to fix it!
