The "logs" don't appear in game. The chat logs are text outputs of your chat and combat windows that the Watcher monitors to make the buff watcher work. You have to setup stuff outside of the game.

There are UI updates coming from Beamdong that'll allow for some very interesting things in the future. Potentially even replacing the Watcher. For now, the UI NWN update hasn't been released to stable and I'm not a good enough programmer to mess with it yet.

Anyway, troubleshooting the Watcher:

Do you have logging turned on in your NWN client? If no, follow the directions on the github to turn it on.

When you open the Watcher, first thing you do is open the current chatlog that is being output from NWN. Have you done that?

Will try again in a bit but there is a huge storm system coming through so could be a problem... we will see.

How do you get this to work? The instructions are lacking. I am stuck on the step:

• Setup the watcher and open the "nwclientLog1" (the location of the log for you is probably in the same directory as mine in this screen shot):

Umm..... how? There's no exe. file or anything. Do you need some external program to run it? Halp.

Bug report is lacking. Did you try to clone the git and run in python? Did you download the zip file with the exe if you aren't running python?

Never used python in my life. Just downloaded the zip through cloning the git. That might have been the issue.
