Game Logger Versions

Don't be surprised, that the first version available to the public already has 3 with it. I've been adding varius features, and with the each significant one mutator recieved +1 to it's version number. i can say that I'm a perfectionist, so I want to release only proven things, with as little bugs as possible, so, the last one is example. And here's the diary of mutator's evolution.

The idea came to me, as I remembered mutator by Usaar33 for first UT, that could log players talks.

  • (add) kills logging
  • (add) creating heading with arena name, admin name and admin e-mail (last two do not work properly)

v0.5 log example

v1.0
  • (fix) empty strings appearing
