Suggestion: HUD option to log mixing failures to console #158

Hi, not sure if I should be posting this on the forum or here, but I'd like to suggest a HUD option similar to Log exp gain to console.

It would be great if there was an option to log mixing failures/stoppages to console.

I find it really boring to mix large quantities of items that decrease the food level very slowly (e.g. fire essences). What I usually do after clicking Mix All is then switch to something non-EL, and then check in on the mixing progress in a minute or so. It's frustrating when I return to EL and only a small number of items were mixed in that time due to a failure...

But if mixing failures were logged to console, I could set up an audio alert for them in sound_warnings.txt. Problem solved.

We can already configure audio alerts for harvesting and spell failures, so why not mixing? Let me know what you think.

If you close all the windows that display the messages and the "Mix Item Filter" of the chat options is off, the mix and mix failure messages go to the console. Not quite what you want but close.

Cool, I didn't know that was possible. It's a little cumbersome, but I remapped the keys to allow for quick toggling of both the inventory and manufacture window, and it works fine for my purposes. Thanks.
