Title: NWNLogRotator

NWNLogRotator (https://github.com/ravenmyst/NWNLogRotator)

Haven't tried it yet, but as someone who relies on logs and often loses them to crashes in my haste to log back in, I want to check it out and thought others might as well.

Really useful and neat program, thanks! The colour and formatting really helps readability.

Some suggestions could be:

:arrow: Option to toggle the log filename to include the player character's name, e.g. JoeBloggs_2019_10_160530
:arrow: Remove the "nwsync: Shard 0 available, Space Used: 24 KB" messages and therefore not count towards # lines minimum to save log.
:arrow: To be able to parse special characters. Currently overwrites with �

I will think about the player name thing soon :) but #2, and #3 are resolved.

p.s. I don't play much NWN anymore these days if anyone has any log files they want to send me from ravenloft (non sensitive info in them) that would have stuff you want parsed better please do and explain the issues!
