Logging by Char name and Date?
|
I had a trigger to log by char name and then by date, but have lost it in some bugges. Does anyone know how to do this in Cmud?

#log MyMudname-%char-%time(yyyy-mm-dd).txt
Will save to the format MyMudname-Fang-2007-01-22.txt and will automatically append if a log with that name already exists. Only thing it won't do is auto-update the name when the date changes, so you could have this:
#alarm 00:00:01 {#log MyMudname-%char-%time(yyyy-mm-dd).txt}
to change it automatically. |

Huh? Do you eman that it wont open new log after midnight or what do you mean?
Because i use
#log %time(yyyy-mm-dd) %char.txt
and it works nicely as i dont want no slipping of my logs when i play late. |

Yes, I mean that when it gets to midnight the log won't automatically change date unless you use the alarm I provided as well.

This isn't working for me. The log disappears into thin air. It shows that it is logging but then when I close out CMUD the log is nowhere to be found.

The log is created in whatever CMUD considers your current working directory. This is typically where CMUD was installed. However if you changed direction using commands (and I believe when using Browse File dialog for packages etc) this changes the working directory as well.
If you still can not find it, check to make sure you don't have any permissions issues in writing out your log file. |

You can also define the path explicitly:
#log "D:\My Documents\logs\log.log"
Windows search function is good for finding lost files when you didn't tell them explicitly where to go, too. |

Obviously I ran search before even posting. Why is it saying that it is logging and then the file doesn't exist? I'm kind of pissed off about it.
Edit:
Well apparently even though it says it was logging it wasn't. I went offline and tested trying to create logs.
#log Name_%time(m/dd/yy).txt does not work at all.
#log Name.txt works and creates a log file.
#log "C:\My Documents\My Games\Name.txt" also works.
So how can I possible autolog using onConnect and create a log for each date? You can't use %time() or if there is a way it isn't working for me. |

I just took a second look and the problem is the '/' in the file name. Windows does allow such a character in the file names. So CMUD issues the commands and thinks it was successful, but Windows does not allow it. So in that respect there's a bug there.
If you want simply change you pattern to something else like this #log Name_%time(m-dd-yy).txt |

Finally! An answer that helped!
Thanks. That actually works! |
