What's the default directory for logs?
|
I installed zMUD yesterday and have a trigger to start a log when I connect to the mud that I play. The response to "Welcome to the land of Necromium!" (message you get when you log on, which is when the log starts) is:
| Code: |
| #LOG %concat( "Necro_", %time( yyyy-mm-dd), ".txt") |
It says that it's logging, so I assume it is.. where would the defualt location of such logs be?
Thanks :=) |

The default location is the zMUD installed directory. Most commonly "C:\Program Files\zMUD" or "C:\zMUD".

You can set whatever directory you want, though, by putting the entire path in your #log command, starting with the drive.

#log "C:\Program Files\ZMud\MultiLog\"%concat( @MyChar, %time( yyyy_m_d_hnnss).txt)
I found a daily number was harder to grep afterwards and switched to the above. If you use a path you have to create the directory, or the log fails. I can't imagine dumping into the zmud folder. Not that it is sacred, just omg im blind  |

thought to add, after saying a large file is hard to grep, that really only applies when I was looking for events with scant idea what those looked like, then files by session were much easier. The down side is if I can't remember the time whatever happened I have to open, say, 5 sessions from a weekend and using Windows Explorer to do that is time consuming
So, I thought to share http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm, which program is way more then I need, but I love it. Its free too.
You can open all the sessions from a weekend in a tabbed browser and search all open documents. The results are displayed in a window with the the file heading and the line numbers and just clicking those is a link to the data. The real power is it does some regex. You can remove end-lines too and change ZMud code way beyond Notepad proper.
regex is a bit clever, more then me for sure, but I can find most anything anywhere and change that to suit.
like search and replace the numbered variable names in this list would be impossible without regex I think
@friend1;#
@friend2;#
@friend3;#
search for: @friend(\d+)
replace with: %null(@friend\1)
I know you didn't ask. I just like to post things I think are intresting
actually I would search ;# and replace );# but was thinking irl the line might have a lot of ;# |
