I don't know about you guys but I'm contstantly taking condumps for lots of reasons.

Now the raw text of a condump is teh ugly, so I was thinking of creating an application that can read a condump and display it color coded (probably save as HTML), especially the chat.

As a condump doesn't save the ^ colors I can't bring it back like the original, but I'm sure it'll be far more readable.

Expressions of interest?

Sounds like a good idea. You could make it an addition your admin commander.

Well, as it will be used to parse through existing text files, and render color into them, it will look more like wordpad. I may yet enable editing the file, in colors too.

It won't require JKA to be running for this to work, so the functionality of AC is different to this. I was also considering having the option to save the rendered file as RTF. HTML and perhaps also a BBCODE export so it can be copied into a forum post while maintaining the colours.

But again this would be a reasonable amount of work, that just may not jusified if no-one would use it. I can also add that once done, there wouldn't be much change needed to have it read server log files and convert those too. In which case I may put in filters, so you can only see chat, and also have searching facilities.

This sounds like a good idea, even though I've never needed to use a condump before.
