How to print the event log?

[petermarkab]

Does anyone know how to print off the event log in civ 4? I was thinking there might be a text file hidden away somewhere but realised the event log is part of the save game file so it would presumably have to be extracted from that file. Any hints clues and answers would be greatly appreciated!

The only thing I can think of is doing a PRT SC (Print Screen) with the event log opened up and when you save the picture, crop the rest of the shot, and blow up the area to see.

Thats a little work but could quite possibly be done in as little as 5 minutes.

Hope this helps!

I downloaded a utility from CFC called eventlog.exe, which creates a text file containing the event log from a saved game file. It's a DOS program and not very user friendly, but it works.

Here's a link.

Edit: added link.

Thanks, both of you - i'll give the eventlog.exe a shot.
