I did something similar, but my mod compresses the whole output stream
by searching the buffer for consecutive identical lines. Thus I have:
(5*) A cityguard is standing here.
and
(6*) A cityguard massacers you with his hit to the body.
etc. reduces spam in combat.
to compress object lists and mob lists I just sort the lists so all the
like objects
and mobs are next to each other.
