Debug.LogWarning and Debug.LogError already do that. What I do end up doing is that I almost always try to standardize putting the name of the system or script file at the beginning of the log message in brackets, like [WebsocketManager] or [EnemyBehavior] so I can identify it in build logs. - ThreadSky

Oh yeah, I have no error to show here but I basically prettify those /w color formatting in-engine (not in player.log).

Passing the class names in the logs is a good idea!

oh, I could have sworn that Unity automatically does warning logs as yellow and error logs as red, but I'm checking now and I guess it doesn't do that in the console, but it does still do that in the status bar at the bottom??? huh. mandela effect. I guess I should look into customizing that then~

I *can* show you the in-engine console output that I set up for my custom stream overlay app though! I didn't change the coloring of my "info" logs, but I do also have some formatting for command inputs.

Nice!

Here it is in-engine when I make them spawn, so as you can see they do use Log, LogWarning and LogError, and I feel they're more convenient to read (but that's personal taste)!

In terms of input, it's just a habbit. Nothing very complicated compared than the Debug.Log version.

With the overlay app, I usually make a conscious decision on whether or not a particular debug message needs to be saved to my build's custom console logs, so it works out for me. Also, I made sure to have it match up to Unity methods, so it's as simple as changing "Debug" to "ConsoleManager".
