I just updated Event Trace mod,
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/0-event-trace

Now saving event log at global variable scope became possible if gvv mod is active too.
They are in collaborative now!
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/gvv

My mistake.
I didn't know built-in /c command already can access mod's sandbox using /c __<mod_name>__ header.

So I updated gvv to 0.2.1 and removed /g-c command I was made. Still you can see source code of them at 0.2.0 source if you have interest.
Also I made gvv to generate pasteable code to ...
