I used to have an eve chat log parsing tool for getting all the kills in a roam. I'd just ask everyone to x-up once, would then grab their names and timestamps from the chat logs, and then ask zkill what happened to those players during the fleet chat. This was perfect for the kind of chaotic, but small roams we did with Eve Uni, and for the fact that we used to write after action reports after most fleets.

It would sort those kills, and add separators between fights based on time.

It's one of the simplest things I've ever implemented, and I think Eve Uni still used it for years after I stopped playing. Eve chat logs are beautiful.

Which campus was that at? I feel like I saw something like that used once, but other than that didn’t see it much when I spent my time with E-UNI. I mostly kept to WHC, though.

Mostly low sec and null sec campuses used it. The tool doesn't make sense for whc, it's not a type of space where you roam, having a bunch of small fights in a row.
