Unit Logger mod

Nooby

I have created the "Unit Logger" mod. It is in the mod vault. It is a UI mod.

It logs information on every unit in the game log of the focus army every 10 game ticks, configureable in main.lua
Information logged:
"UL02","GameTick","EntityId","Army","UnitId","FractionComplete","Position.x","Position.y","Position.z","MaxHealth","Health","ShieldRatio","IsIdle","MassKilled"

Log size for long games is normally a few MegaBytes

It works in replays if you select the army of the player you require logging.

It requires UMT / UI Mod Tools / ui-mod-tools-4z0t-v12

Thanks for @Ctrl-K / 4z0t for some of the code that makes this work

This data is not in an compact format. It will compress at around ~ 8>1 ratio

Build order can be extracted from this data - and not just the time units / buildings are started or commands given but when units are finished and where they actually are on the map.

using an external tool unit icons could be plotted onto a map with this data for a kind of "replay prieview" function that can be scrolled fowards and back in time, without having to launch the FAF executable.

Does anyone know about selecting all units while in observer? I would like to convert replay files to this unit position format, and currently I can only run one army at a time.

Example data:
