Chat logs 1.11

A simple plugin that will log each message sent to chat by players.
Useful for hunting trolls and keeping an eye on your server. Download "chatlogs.ini" file below and paste it into ".../addons/amxmodx/configs/" folder. You may also add additional commands to hook, such as "amx_ban", just edit "chatlogs.ini". Use "amx_chatlogs" cvar to disable or enable the plugin (by default enabled = 1).

Example:

    L 03/06/2020 - 20:31:06: ("say") JamesBond007: You are lying, you didn't say that!
    L 03/06/2020 - 20:31:17: ("say") TheKiller: Okay mate, let's check the logs. ;)

Download latest version from GitHub.

Before commenting you should've already checked, shouldn't you? The default logging system logs all server messages (i.e "Bunny killed Martin with knife") when the server restarts (if it crashes nothing will be saved) whereas this plugins logs only the chat (hence name) in real-time.

Updated to 1.1

So far I have no idea how this even work by checking the code you are hooking texts inside the file what if the files was empty?

You are not providing any chatlogs.ini file and you never mentioned what should be added in this file.

Well, yes I completely missed to add it, but I actually described what should be added into it.

Probably wasn't enough, tho. I will update description now...

Feedback:

• There is no reason to restrict this to AMX Mod X version 1.9+. get_cvar_num() will work exactly the same.
• Attach the .sma so that people can download the compiled plugin.
• Having a file to configure something that only has two options seems like overkill. You can use a single cvar to do it all (enable the plugin and configure which chat commands to log).
• There exists a function for getting the configs directory (get_configsdir()). If a function like this exists, you should NOT be using get_localinfo() because there is a chance that that method will break in a future version (that's why a special function was created).

1. If it's a requirement, I might make it compatible with 1.8.2. Tho %n format rule (which parses player name) was added on 1.9.
2. The problem is that if I update the plugin I have to get here every time and edit the main post.
3. Idk what to say. I think it's a bigger overkill to use cvars like that. Let's wait for approvers' answer?
4. Stock get_configsdir() does exactly what I did.

1. If it's a reasonable amount of work, then yes, you need to support 1.8.2. A counter-example would be gamerules natives: orpheu is needed to support 1.8.2
2. You copy pasted the sma file in the post, that still needs to be edited. Just attach the plugin like everyone else.
3. What do you mean by "it's a bigger overkill to use cvars"?
4. amxx must be backward compatible so I don't think get_configsdir should be mandatory for the reason fysiks mentioned. However, I think it should be used because the name is more clear, i.e it tells exactly what it does.
