yes

Better yet - replay feature to watch it

[blissful cypress]

Will take a lot of effort to code. Just getting logs feature asap would be a big W already

I don't want smg to work on something for months just for cosmetics. Raw txt, json or csv file will suffice

[light hatch]

And spectator mode. Hopefully I’ll live long enough to see it implemented

[sterile cosmos]

SMG HAS a spectator mode of sorts and game IDs for logs already. just not accessable to players. they allegedly arent pretty, but they function. one would think it would be fairly manageable to pretty it up and let players have access too

[blissful cypress]

spectator mode might be buggy and allow a lot of cheating. I don't want pretty version if it takes a lot of time for smg to do it. Just getting a full log in any form would have been better than nothing

[sterile cosmos]

well, replay, not spectator. there is already a spectator mode available in non fog games, but you have to die to access it lol

and ya, they have those logs, thats what the game ID code does.

basically, the stuff is there already, just inaccessable to players. which makes it super easy™ to add for players

[calm summit]

not sure about full battle logs (we store the individual moves etc, but the actual log entries I'm pretty sure are just client-side driven just now - so it wouldn't even look like that if server-side game data was available to view) - it'd more likely look like:
player1 | Red | playerName | DRAFT phase | 1 troop on TerritoryA
player1 | Red | playerName | DRAFT phase | 1 troop on TerritoryB
player1 | Red | playerName | DRAFT phase | 2 troops on TerritoryA
player1 | Red | playerName | DRAFT phase | ended
player1 | Red | playerName | ATTACK phase | started
player1 | Red | playerName | ATTACK phase | territoryA (Troops) -> territoryB (Troops) | Manual Roll | 3 atk v 2 def | RESULTS ...

Having items separated by each individual thing could then end up potentially reaching silly file sizes too if they were exportable

[sterile cosmos]

that qualifies as not pretty to me 😛

but it exists, somewhere, and its functional, and wouldnt need a ton of work to make it work

[blissful cypress]

I need this

This is perfect. This will be insanely helpful if made public

If it is possible to download it from game it would have been great. If it is on website, I am okay if it gets deleted every 3 days, I will just download it and store on my PC

Maybe it is possible to convert them into some object of smaller size without losing information if size is such a problem

[sharp tundra]

Or make it an in-game button like "game history" that you can click and look at

But you have to download the game to view it so it doesn't clog files

[blissful cypress]

yes
