CombatLog

A BattleTech mod by Vas7eel · v2.0.0

CombatLog displays a real-time combat log with stats during battles — every hit with to-hit %, weapons fired, locations destroyed, pilot injuries, ejections, and mech deaths as they happen. It respects fog of war (damage from unspotted sources shows as UNKNOWN), shows initiative order each round, and tracks per-pilot and overall lance performance for every mission.

Works with Vanilla, BTAU (BTA), BEXT (BEX), and RogueTech (RT).

• NEW: RT approximate salvage (~N SALVAGEABLE PARTS) for RT mechs and vehicles
• NEW: RT death explosions grouped under a <unit> EXPLOSION block after the DESTROYED line, showing each victim's damage/heat; a victim killed by the blast is tagged DESTROYED + salvage inline

• NEW: per-pilot "Melee Dealt" stat on the STATS page
