Any sort of 'combat logging' mod..?
« on: December 17, 2009, 05:10:11 am »

I was curious, is there any sort of 'combat logging' mod out there, or similar? Something that will keep track of attacks, where they damage, how severely they damage, and so on? The combat in this game just flies by, and I am constantly pausing and using 'v' to go back between my dwarves and their enemies to see how things are progressing. It'd be much nicer if there was a way to receive this in messages somehow, be it in-game, or as something outside of the game..! I wasn't sure if such a thing existed or not, so figured I may as well ask, no?

Dwarf Companion has a feature like this, if I'm not mistaken. Look it up. Also, the new DF version will have it built-in with a separate announcements screen.

You know, this could be pretty cool.

Also yes, DC allows you to activate combat messages. However sparring is message-heavy in that case.

It is a bit broken with newer DF version, you would have to use an old DF with an old DC version.
