Micro suggestion
« on: June 15, 2008, 04:37:39 pm »

It's so small really that it borders on negligible. And yet it could be useful.

It's just this: add a line to the errorlog every time the game is started or closed.

Sometimes I try to trace some errors in a mod I'm making and I get lost in the errorlog and can't find which lines are from which session. Adding program start and end lines (preferably with system time at that moment) would help in these matters.

Yes, that is all.

Agreed. A line or two of whitespace around each 'session' would also help legibility immensely.

Also, what about the date/time?

Then again, I guess there's the issue of the errorlog growing larger and larger every time, even with no errors. Maybe an init option then, defaulting to off?
