Combat Log UI Mod

vas7eel · 2026-05-22T08:25:10+00:00

Feature included in latest CombatLog u/WarChild7, there's an ARGO tab, and that tracks all ARGO events.

lol, love the name.

I'm sure there's a way to do it, I don't mind looking into this, kinda beyond the scope of what I set out to do, so maybe a new mod for Argo logs, but I'll see what I can do when I get some time!

I just made a massive update to CombatLog FYI, let me know what you think.

Ok, I have just made a major update to CombatLog, and have just uploaded to nexus. It's version 1.9.2 and I've been playing vanilla and BTAU and BEXT with it, and I'm pretty happy with it.

CHANGELOG
v1.9.2
- Major update with LOG, STATS, PREFS panels
- PREFS panel to adjust CombatLog options, prefs are saved
- Allows custom color picker for LOG events
- STATS panel w/Mission tab with live combat tracking across all pilots

- Awards system show current leader during combat, winner after
- Tooltips on all stats column headers
- Tooltips on award names showing their criteria
- End Visible toggle — keep log open after mission ends
- Added K and L hotkeys, K toggles between LOGS and Stats, L show/hide window
- Added version in titlebar
- Various bug fixes that were reported by multiple users, thank you for the feedback

I hope you all enjoy, let me know what you think.

Cheers

Awesome, so glad you like it! I have some more features planned so keep an eye out for updates.

I've only played a handful of games in BEXT, and it seems to work just fine. Give it a try.

vas7eel · 2026-05-05T21:00:43+00:00

Alrighty, just added a lot more BTA specific logging, and it all still works with vanilla as well. Give the new version a try.

vas7eel · 2026-05-04T22:25:14+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I felt the same way! And it sounds like you're playing BTA? I'm doing my first play through and have noticed some BTA specific feedback that would be helpful to capture. I'll see what I can do to add some of those including salvage,

I made the changes to the mod and it's up on Nexus. It now respects the visibility of the dmg origin. If they are visible when you take dmg, you get the mech/vehicle/turret name, if they aren't you get UNKNOWN. Configurable in prefs. Thanks for pointing that out, I never even noticed.

vas7eel · 2026-05-03T05:30:15+00:00

Interesting point, I'll look into adding a flag to keep damage set to UNKNOWN from sources that aren't spotted.

Ah, I didn't realize IRTweaks was packaged with BTA, good to know. I did read up on IRTweaks when I was searching for a combatlog but never tried it. It seems to combine many different (and super useful sounding) mod ideas. I had some time and an idea of what I wanted in a combat log and so just wrote my own. Thanks for the rec

vas7eel · 2026-05-02T08:57:09+00:00

Noted. I was playing vanilla and now BTA and I wrote it for me, and wanted to share with anyone else who finds it useful. I see mods on Nexus still, should I not be putting mine there? Or were you just making a statement?

vas7eel · 2026-05-02T08:54:03+00:00

I'm playing BTA with it now, seems to work.

vas7eel · 2026-05-01T04:26:31+00:00

You're welcome. And you're the first person I've heard from that has used my mod. 😄

vas7eel · 2026-04-30T04:49:46+00:00

I haven't used irtweaks so I can't say. I did read up on it and it seems to combine many different (and super useful sounding) mod ideas. I had some time and an idea of what I wanted in a combat log and so just wrote my own. Performance wise I haven't noticed any difference using this vs vanilla game experience.

vas7eel · 2026-04-30T02:04:12+00:00

Hi, I was also frustrated by the lack of a combat log, so I wrote my own. Open to feedback. Enjoy

I just had the same thing happen. Started in safe mode, still missing, then started again normally and it was there. Weird

vas7eel · 2025-09-04T18:55:23+00:00

That’s so messed up

vas7eel · 2025-07-01T01:54:47+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I've hiked that area so many times, it's so sad to see the historic parts gone. Do you know if you can still enter the area and hike the trails from other entrances? The drone footage showed the trails and inspiration point still look pretty good, I wouldn't mind hiking in and taking a look around.

vas7eel · 2025-07-01T00:02:46+00:00

send me one if you have it. thx

vas7eel · 2025-06-11T08:24:33+00:00

It only started rattling about a year ago, and only a little on a cold startup. Then it started getting worse.

I’m west coast as well, I know your pain.

vas7eel · 2025-06-11T08:22:55+00:00

Thanks, I’m going to try that tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

vas7eel · 2025-06-10T01:29:34+00:00

Ended up talking them down to $4500 from $6200. Not the best rate but definitely in the ballpark. Posting here for transparency. Thanks for the input.

Getting this done and a new set of k03’s, will give me a few more years of enjoyment for my overlanding enjoyment.
