Dumping output from FLHook's Eventmode into a file

[majkp]

What’s the easiest way to dump the eventmode into a file? Need I mention I am a very lazy person?

Eventmode is only available via socket connection so you would need a socket client that connects and then writes everything to a file.

It depends, if you know a programming language that supports sockets, it should be pretty easy.
What could be easier would be a new plugin that logs any info you want (not only the events in eventmode) to a file. The only thing you need to do here is create a few hooks and then do a “fprintf(…)” to an opened file.
You could look at the FLHook source code and scan for “ProcessEvents(” , that will give you every place where the evenmode would have logged something.

Well I am not a programmer myself, so I was trying to find a way around. You can force putty to save everything into a file, but I didn’t find a way to start-up putty and log-in the socket connection using the “pass XYZ” from a command line script. I would then launch it with flserver and that would be it…

As you probably know, we have quite restrictive rules to support role-playing on our server and sometimes it would be nice to have some evidence of the player’s behavior before he gets sanctioned for out-of-RP killing for example.

Making a new plugin is a good idea, I just can’t do it myself…:)

Biocross will support FLHook and dumping the event mode is on the list - as well as some other numerous front end goodies for FLHook

Just use putty and enable logging.

I think that dumping the eventmode to a file from FLHook would cause serious performance issues… but just guessing.

Yep, but I couldn’t find a way to start it up (putty + log using pass … + set-up logging into a file) automatically (from a command line), so I was just asking if there any of you know how to do it…

Maybe try this prog.
Haven’t tested it, but it allows autologin

I have add some code to my flhook to save playerlog to a file.

It worked but im not sure it will works fine.

here it is:

void HkWriteEventToFile(uint iClientID, wstring wscCharAction…)
{
if (set_bPlayerActionLog){
wchar_t wszBuf[1024*8] = L"";
va_list marker;
va_start(marker, wscCharAction);

_vsnwprintf(wszBuf, (sizeof(wszBuf) / 2) - 1, wscCharAction.c_str(), marker);

const wchar_t *wszCharname = Players.GetActiveCharacterName(iClientID);
if(!wszCharname)
wszCharname = L"";

CAccount *acc = Players.FindAccountFromClientID(iClientID);
wstring wscAccountDir;
HkGetAccountDirName(acc, wscAccountDir);

HKPLAYERINFO pi;
HkGetPlayerInfo(ARG_CLIENTID(iClientID), pi, false);

string sfilname = “FLHookPlayerLog\” + wstos(HkGetAccountID(acc)) + “_PlayerLog.Log”;

FILE *f = fopen(sfilname.c_str(), “at”);

time_t tNow = time(0);
struct tm *stNow = localtime(&tNow);
fprintf(f, “\r\n%.4d/%.2d/%.2d [%.2d:%.2d:%.2d] Player: %s (%s:%s)::%s”, stNow->tm_year + 1900, stNow->tm_mon + 1, stNow->tm_mday, stNow->tm_hour, stNow->tm_min, stNow->tm_sec, wstos(wszCharname).c_str(), wstos(HkGetAccountID(acc)).c_str(), wstos(wscAccountDir).c_str(), wstos(wszBuf).c_str());
fclose(f);
}
}

call exp. :

void __stdcall InitiateTrade(unsigned int iClientID1, unsigned int iClientID2)
{
……
try {
HkWriteEventToFile(iClientID1, L"TradeRequest From: %s", wszCharname.c_str());
} catch (…) { AddLog(“Exception in %s (HkWriteEventToFile)”, FUNCTION); }
…
}

w0dk4, i want to log more things, like what player buy/sell and what item player have to exchange… how can i do that?
