RedLogger

- Introduction -

For the longest time, the only sane way for a RedScript mod to write a log you could actually read was to route it through Cyber Engine Tweaks and its Gamelog.log. One shared file, everyone shouting over each other, and a whole extra framework installed just to see what your mods are doing. That was, in fact, the very last thing my mod suite still needed CET for - so I wrote this instead.

RedLogger is a tiny RED4ext plugin that gives every mod its own clean log file. Each mod writes through one call, each game session gets a fresh file, and old sessions are pruned automatically so the folder never grows into a landfill.

TL;DR - Every mod gets its own tidy log, no CET required!  (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ

- For Players -

There is nothing to configure. Mods that use RedLogger write their logs to:

Cyberpunk 2077\r6\logs\mods\<ModName>__<date_time>.log

One file per mod per game session, at most five sessions kept per mod, oldest pruned automatically. Plain text - open them with anything.

Even better: if you have my Redscript Configuration Framework v2. 0. 0+ installed, you never need to leave the game. A LOGS button appears in the configurator hub with every mod's log rendered in-game: one section per mod, Prev. and Next to page through past sessions, and a SEARCH that highlights matches and jumps you to the first one.

And the viewer is not limited to RedLogger's own files. A SOURCE button cycles through every log directory the modding stack writes to - RedScript (r6\logs\mods), RED4ext (red4ext\logs), Frameworks (Codeware, TweakXL, ArchiveXL and friends), CET (its own gamelog and scripting logs) and CET Mods (every CET mod's folder) - and the mod list follows along.

- For Mod Authors -

One call, no setup, no file handling:

import RedLogger.*

RedLog. Append("MyMod", "something happened: " + IntToString(count));

The first Append of a session creates the mod's session file; everything after lands in it. The full native surface:

RedLog. Append(mod, line) // write one line to the mod's session file

RedLog. AppendLevel(mod, level, line) // level-tagged line: INFO / WARN / ERROR / DEBUG

RedLog. Mods()                       // -> array<String>, every mod that has logs on disk

RedLog. Files(mod)                   // -> array<String>, the mod's files, newest first

RedLog. ReadFile(mod, file, maxLines) // -> array<String>, read a log back in

// 1. 3. 0+: browse the other log directories (read-only). sourc
