Any way to add an irssi like date/time in front of every line?

I don't think so. As I understand it, there is no specific logging Lua code, it is in the engine.

You can always do something which prints out the current time every once in a while, but it looks like you already have that.

I seriously would like to have a timestamp too-

but Brian's official word is : "I don't think we want to add a time stamp for each line of the log as we are trying to keep the log somewhat clean looking."

but yeah- having a timestamp would really help server operators.

Er, why not like an option of -timestamp or similar?

The only thing you could do is make a mod that prints out the current time to the console every few seconds or so to at least have an estimate or write a program that constantly checks for changes in log.txt and writes a time stamped log into a separate file.

That's disappointing, I just assumed that it was still coming.

Sad to hear this will not be added.
An option to add this would be great!
