Server Log

[theox]

Hey guys, I'm looking for the complete list of server occurances (deaths, crashes, objective completion, etc.). Is this debrief.log? If not, where can I find the complete log? Is is the same format running off my personal machine as dedicated server?

[Case]

Not sure if this is for LockOn or Black Shark, but for the former you can check temp/mp_log.txt for a log of in game events. Most likely Black Shark has similar files in the temp directory. These directories are in the root directory of the respective games.

Yes, this is for Black Shark. There are several files in there, but none look exactly like what I'm looking for.

 

"debrief.log" appears to be the closest item but it almost looks like a SP debrief log rather than MP. Can anyone confirm? Is it different for Dedicated?

I am interested in such a "real-life"-file!!

Can someone send me such a file or put it into public web-space? :helpsmilie:

 

TIA!

 

PS: I love (to write) log-tools and log-analyzers, but since I am behind I firewall (which I have no control-access to) I can not host games :(

Debrief.log is used for servers as well, the other logfile you should look at is the net-server.log, it contains player names and IPs etc.

 

Afaik objective completion isn't logged anywhere, which is a real pity.

 

On a sidenote, if you are interested in additional logging activity, you should take a look at my upcoming ServMan mod, which writes a few additional events to the logfiles.

This will be fixed in the patch.

 

If you are interested in any MP log changes, please tell now - there's still chance to fix some things in the patch (though, not all).

Something similar to LOFC would be great. Time in air, times landed, type kills, etc...would be nice...possibly saved on a location of our choosing (desktop, My Documents for example).

This is already possible using the hooks in the events.lua script. :)

 

I am thinking about adding a stats file to the next version of my ServMan mod, however that will be server-side only, but it could for example be parsed by a PHP script and used for online stats tracking on a squadron/server homepage.

Not a whole lot of us know code. I know a little about code, but I get lost starting in VB. Why not just have a simple GUI instead of having to either rely on others or going through a few semesters of college just to write a simple script?

[Acedy]

If you "know a little about code" this should be sufficient, all you need is the Lua reference manual which can be found here:

 

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/

 

What you want to achieve can be done with a few lines of code.

 

Besides that the FAQ state that the logbook will be fixed sooner or later so that it can also track MP stats, however I don't know when that is going to happen.

[hitman]

Honestly, I wouldnt know what the first thing to do to write a script for exporting stats. I took VB little over 2 years ago...it was greek to me then, still greek to me now. Ive been through the course, think of how lost someone trying to set one up without knowledge of it will be.

 

See my point? :D
