AO2 LogReader - Lagless Live Edition!
This log-reading tool will make GMing so much easier.
Keeping track of people's movements live during session has always been kind of a pain - you have to rely on a tiny OOC window and constantly use /getareas to get where people are, and visually speaking it's really hard to process what's even going on.
That's where the LogReader comes in - this tool can connect to your log file, listen for any changes that happen, and move character icons around a map of your design, giving you clear, concise visual feedback to everyone's movements - at all times. It even works for post-session logs, too!

Prerequisites
- This tool currently only works on KFO-Server codebase, which includes the Killing Fever Online server that I host. Support for other codebases is considered, though it will need significant code overhauls.
- You must have a GM client that has the option
/remote_listen ALLenabled. Using that will give you full, complete logs of the entire session in every area. You can find your logs inClient Program Folder/logs/Server Name/2025-07-21 22-12-49 UTC.log, as an example - the log date and time is from when that client was first opened in UTC time zone.
