[fatal_nl]

Is it necessary to do a directory check and a mkdir to use log_to_file to a specific directory?

Default it logs to /addons/amxmodx/logs and I want it to log to /addons/amxmodx/logs/my_plugin_logs

It needs to be Windows and Linux compatible.

I have it now like this below. For some reason mkdir chmod's the directory to 0700, which should be 0755.

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <geoip>

new szName[32], szIP[17], szID[25], szCountry[41]

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("AllinfoIP", "1.12b", "fatal")
}

public client_connect(id)
{
    new AmxxLogsDir[20], LogFilesDir[28], LogFileName[28], LogFile[56]
    
    get_localinfo("amxx_logs", AmxxLogsDir, charsmax(AmxxLogsDir))
    
    formatex(LogFilesDir, charsmax(LogFilesDir), "%s/allinfo", AmxxLogsDir)
    
    if(!dir_exists(LogFilesDir))
        mkdir(LogFilesDir)
    
    get_time("allinfo_players_%m_%Y.txt", LogFileName, charsmax(LogFileName))
    
    formatex(LogFile, charsmax(LogFile), "%s/%s", LogFilesDir, LogFileName)
    
    get_user_name(id, szName, charsmax(szName))
    get_user_authid(id, szID, charsmax(szID))
    get_user_ip(id, szIP, charsmax(szIP), 1)
    geoip_country(szIP, szCountry, charsmax(szCountry))
    
    if (!is_user_bot(id))
    {
        log_to_file(LogFile, "     %s  |  %s  |  %s  |  %s", szName, szIP, szID, szCountry)
    }
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

Immunitize it.

pawn is weak on data structuring because pawn programs are intended to manipulate objects (text, sprites, streams, queries, . . . ) in the host application, but the pawn program is, by intent, denied direct access to any data outside its abstract machine. The only means that a pawn program has to manipulate objects in the host application is by calling subroutines, so called “native functions”, that the host application provides

No you don't.
