Idea: More details in Logs

[JayDi85]

Need more details for each improve:

• card example;
• what’s logs you get in current version;
• what’s logs you want;

Xmage uses mana pool for mana payment and players can generate mana without real cast (adds it to mana pool by direct tap/activate). So it’s can be hard to detect a real usage.

if its hard to catch what mana is used to pay for a cost, would it be possible to add when a land or creature is tapped before a spell is cast?

Thinking about it if its possible to include what is drawn when something is? also the starting cards of the players hands?

Right now the html logs have basic turn actions like: the libraries being shuffled at the start, that a player has drawn a card, cards that are played and if the attack step was skipped or not. if not skipped it shows what creatures are attacking, blocking and life lost in combat. these and other general actions are recorded

My hope is with more verbose logging of the ingame actions i can go through the Log to write a script for when human players play against bots. the script will be for a youtube series where the players play commander or other format games against bots.

Well, mana pool has source info for each mana item, so it's possible to log a payment details in game logs (mana + source of the mana). Maybe it can be optional by Preferences.

P.S. Additional problem -- logs are one way data, it will continue after rollback. It's can be weird on pay/cancel user spam. So it must be improved to restore real logs on rollback too (also related to restore game logs on reconnect and other things).
