Logging
|
Hi again all.. I was wondering if there was a way to choose which type of format you were able to log with using zmud.. I know that it logs stuff with .txt files.. but... i have found that alot of times.. its a huge big big file and when i go to open it or something it will ask me if i wanna use wordpad cuz not pad doesnt hold that much... so when i do use word pad it will put wierd things infront of it... makeing logging very very difficault to read ... also.. is there a way to make it where when it logs it will put the mud colors in the log say like archiving or something on a site that supports logs for various things for like player killing?

Here is an external script you may be interested in Darkwytch.
| Code: |
#log log.txt
#log
#mss {Set fso = CreateObject~(~"Scripting.FileSystemObject~"~): If ~(fso.FileExists~(~"log.txt~"~)~) Then: Set objLog = fso.GetFile~(~"log.txt~"~): intLog = objLog.Size: Else: intLog = 0: End If: If ~(intLog > 10000000~) Then: objLog.Copy~(~"medievia.log.%time(yyyymmdd).txt~"~): objLog.Delete: End If} {VBScript} |
If the log file is more than 10 megabytes then log.txt is renamed to log.%time(yyyymmdd).txt and if the file is less than 10 megabytes then nothing happens.
You could trigger this script on disconnection or your mud's logoff message.
If VBScript is not an available scripting language on your computer, then you can download Microsoft Windows Script 5.6 here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
You have to check "Allow VBScript" in preferences/script parser within zMUD. |

How do I use this to log a capture window when I log on then. I mean I *think* that I can do it by the message it gets when it says my log in ip addy... which is unique to the game in its self.. But I dont know what to use for closing log when i log off. Any one have any ideas of suggestions how to log a capture window?

Not sure how to log windows.. gave up trying to get that to work that out for some time, I don't think you can - zMUD only logs stuff from the main window I think, you can only have one log open at a time
For logging the main window, make an alias called atconnect and whatever commands are in that alias will be performed whenever you connect to the server. #LOG whatever :) I think it mentions the special aliases in the help file for aliases |

RATS@!!! =[[.... I dont like logging in the main window because well you gotta run all over every where and you gotta do things and kill mobs or what ever everyone does on thier mud's... Zugg... do you think its possible maybe in the future there is some way we can log from out capture windows? That would be cool...

Logging in child windows is easy
:windowname:#log mylog.txt
or to do it everytime you open/close in your main mud window
#ALIAS atconnect {:windowname:#LOG mylog.txt}
#ALIAS atdisconnect {:windowname:#LOG} |
