Logger

[ruff_hi]

Added a new feature to the logger ... you can now optionally add the slider values ...

Turn 10/500 (3600 BC) [17-Feb-2009 22:26:49]
100% Research: 12 per turn
0% Culture: 37 per turn
0% Espionage: 4 per turn
0% Gold: 0 per turn, 38 in the bank

How about an option to not log those set to 0%. I understand that they can still generate non-zero values at 0%, but I'm trying to read the minds of those that will use the feature.

Another suggestion: a compact single-line format, something like

[ Research: 90%, 38 ] -- [ Culture: 0%, 12 ] -- [ Espionage: 0%, 4 ] -- [ Gold: 10%, 3 ]

*shrug* I suppose if you're gonna read the log, it may not make a difference. Most everyone posts their logs in spoilers anyway. Multiline is probably the better way.

EF also suggested the following ...

38 (+0/turn)
100% (+38/turn)
0% (+2/turn)
0% (+4/turn)

or ...

[ 38 (+0/turn)] [ 100% (+38/turn)] [ 0% (+2/turn)] [ 0% (+4/turn)]

I prefer the 4 line version and the icons.

You wouldn't think that there would be an error in the logger would you. Well - I found one in my latest SG ... we are playing unrestricted leaders and only the civ is shown when you make contact. I've changed it so that it now shows the leader too.

Further, you make contact with a team but only a civ / leader is reported. I changed it so that you get a message from all leaders / civs in a team. Actually - we should report team contact and then civ / leader contact.

First attempt with no 'team contact message'

I just need to make sure that it only reports 1 message if a player is on a team of 1.
