I've been playing COX for some years now, and finally found it was time to give something back to the community.
I have tried Crimson Tao's log cleaner, and enjoyed it, though I found a couple of thing missing with it.
I felt I needed some kind of text search in the log, and some live update setting.
Since I'm not much of a C# developer I decided to make my own from scratch in Java. (So this should be something the Mac users could enjoy as well? (Not tested though)).
And as far as testing goes, its been tested in Xp, Vista and Linux!
Thanks a lot to Crimson Tao for inspiration!
Now you may ask your self why on earth, you would have any need for this tool. For me there are a couple of reasons that come to mind.
As the text search comes with a counter of hits, I use it to keep track of how many defeats I have done of an enemy(Specially useful when badging for gladiator badges).
It also gives me the chat screen on my dual monitor, so I can keep track of things with out scrolling in the in game chat window.
Now I was pretty satisfied with the end result, and thought, hey, someone else might find this useful.
So I'm posting here hoping you could find the tool helpful:
Requirements is of course that you have Java installed and that you have chat enabled in the in-game client.
Just doble click the downloaded COX_logger.jar, navigate to the log folder under COH install folder and pick a log file to watch.
The help in the application should be very much complete, if not well give me a yell through the forum or in game (@stroemstad).
