Evaluate the current amount of logging performed by the game

[Basilisk3]

I am by no means an expert on this, so if you feel like I am totally wrong, feel free to close this issue.

Example:

• The entire text of the mod.info file of a UI mod is written to the log

I do not have info messages (1) and (2) in my logs, just once at the start. Do they also occur without UI mods?

Apparently (1) and (2) are caused by the ZeP_MiniMapZoom UI mod. My bad, I removed them.

How about this for the mod info output? (in SessionInit.lua or console UI_Lua)

LOG('Active mods in session:')
for _, mod in __active_mods do
    LOG(string.format('\t"%-30s v%02d (%-37s by %s', mod.name..'"', mod.version, mod.uid..')', mod.author))
end

It avoids arbitrary output from longer fields like the description. I have noticed a 1-2 second lag spike because of the large amount of text printed to the log, especially with mods including changelog fields in their mod.info (supreme scoreboard). Example output:

I also get the following warnings at the start of the game:

WARNING: Duplicate definition of console command "" (seven times) WARNING: NUM PROPS = 5182

With all the performance improvements this game received, having 5182 props on the map is not that much anymore (this is on Seton's Clutch, a vanilla map). Concerning the other error, console commands are defined in the engine, right?

[Garanas]

@lL1l1 that looks like a great alternative to me.

By far the biggest spam is the debug log that tells you (read: us, as developers) what modules are loaded. We could just turn that off for non-fafdevelop games

Is there anyway I could track/find what is causing the texture errors on launch? they seem to have been around for quite a while?
