Good idea
I'd prefer to be able to make text entry, but numbers are good. Then you could keep a text file out of game with text notes by numbers.
I've often thought it sad that they didn't think about letting us actually write a log. It isn't rocket science to allow an external text file and viewer.
Maybe a cool modder can give it some thought?
I've been using a batch file game loader that first loads up notepad with my own text log. The log file needs to be where the batch file is, which needs to be in the game folder with the .exe game file.
Use notepad to create the batch and the first line in a log file. If there is no log file to begin with, notepad won't file it back properly.
Here is the text of my batch file done in notepad:
Silent Hunter 4 Log for SH4
rem START "title" [/Dpath] [options] [command] [parameters]
rem @echo off
start "Captains Log" notepad.exe "mylog.txt"
rem pause
start "" sh4
>>> That's it.
