BZFlag clients support the /savemsgs command, which will export your console messages to a text
file. However, by default, the exported messages will contain ANSI escape codes which aren't straight forward
to clean up. Members of the community have put together scripts in the past to solve this issue, however they've
each hand their own set of issues; this site aims to fix those shortcomings.
