Enable Chat Logging?

Post by mkeller25 »

All,

Another question for you guys. Is it possible to review or if not possible, is there somewhere to enable the ability to save chat logs? Just using NFO's standard control panel of course - we don't run a procon layer or anything of that nature.

I want to start capturing like the last 30 days if possible - or at least something in case I want to go back and review anything. I know there are what looks like to be some pb related logs in the file manager - something like pb/svlogs/00000000001.log

These don't appear to include any chat logs. Is there anything else I can turn on? I can't find anything so it seems that I must have to have a procon layer sadly.

Help?

I use Procon but its a pain to find a single player. B3 bot works good to just a pain to setup but there you can see all chat really easy.

right now I'm testing GameMe, its $5 a month but you get all kinds of stats plus chat. I've only had it running a coupple of weeks but it's cool.

heres my chat log

You say you dont run a procon layer but that is a very handy tool to accomplish what you are looking for. The stats plugin is pretty easy to set up and the stats pages look very nice as an enhancement to the plugin. Of course you will need to setup a database so if you have a VDS, that may be your best option as you can host your own procon layer and pay nothing for all of this.

here is our stats page: http://www.globalkillersclan.com/bf4sta ... ServerID=1

B3 Bot will accomplish the same thing but you will need to have a database as well. I'm not sure how far along Echelon (chat logger/admin tool) is or XLRStats. Last I checked, they were still getting things programmed.

I don't see any on the public side but in the admin control panel side I can see IP's and search for IPs. Its not perfect for IPs as I see alot of unresolved but I searched for my ip and it found me no problem even though it listed all mine as 0.0.0.0.0.

I was looking for an easy way to do stats and chat logging and this was the easiest. I know there are different ways but everything else I found needs maintenance, this is setup and forget, so to me it's worth the $5 a month. The players like the stats and the admins like how fast they can click and see every chat from a single player.

I found this this morning when I looked in.

Also check out rconNET, it has a chat logging and some other useful stuff. It doesn't show IP addresses in the chat log but it does have a neat database feature.
