Interface: Include Co-ordinates of event in log message

Post by Mousus6 »

I've been saving my logs for the last month or so and have started to do some actual data analysis on what my characters have been doing, because it's neat and I feel like it.

The one thing that is completely lost to the annals of time is where I was when I did it. Would be nice if the date stamp at the end of the message included the co-ordinates of the event.

Example currently a message might read:
- Bone Guardian has despawned. (2026-03-10 16:21:25).

I am suggesting that it be:
- Bone Guardian has despawned. (TS:4,16 2026-03-10 16:21:25).

Pros:
  • My stupid data analysis stuff becomes easier
  • Keeping track of where you did pings for Angel Hunter/Demon Hunter becomes easier without having a python script open in another tab
  • Remembering where you were when someone killed you if you want to go track down the trail of your killer
  • Remembering where a given tentacle, bone guardian or plague rat was when it gets into a fight
Cons:
  • It's an extra thing to censor in logs if you want to publicly paste without giving up your hiding spot
  • Presumably it takes some extra code to implement
