[ANY] Log Connections

Player 1 · **Author**

Description:
This plugin logs players' connect and disconnect times along with their Name, SteamID, and IP Address to a text file at /sourcemod/logs/connections/ seperate from the server logs. Players will only be logged when they fully connect and disconnect from the server. (as apposed to every map change in the generic server logs)

This could be useful to go back and ban a hacker / cheater without having to dig through the messy server logs.

A new log file will be created every day. The information on each line will be ordered as follows:

<Time> - <Name> <SteamID> <IP> Connected from <Country>
<Time> - <Name> <SteamID> <IP> Disconnected after <#> minutes. <Reason>

Here is an example log from 28_Nov_2012.txt

Code:

16:58:34 - ===== Map change to metro =====

17:02:41 - <Xander> <STEAM_1:0:XXXX> <108.XXX.XX.XXX> CONNECTED from <United States>
17:04:35 - <Xander> <STEAM_1:0:XXXX> <108.XXX.XX.XXX> DISCONNECTED after 3 minutes. <Kicked by administrator>
17:05:07 - <Xander> <STEAM_1:0:XXXX> <108.XXX.XX.XXX> CONNECTED from <United States>

17:05:31 - ===== Map change to silo =====

17:06:47 - <Xander> <STEAM_1:0:XXXX> <108.XXX.XX.XXX> DISCONNECTED after 2 minutes. <Xander timed out>

I have long wanted this plugin, but you could have added counts from time to connect up to the entry to the game that is the time during which the player downloads the card model and sounds.

And it would be nice if it showed a number of players before changing the card and how much is left after map change
For examle

or even better

Because the plugin does not include players who are disabled during map changes

You should consider using the LogToFileEx function instead of manually opening and closing files each time you write to them.

For that matter, you may want to use OpenFile in OnPluginStart and CloseFile in OnPluginEnd, then use LogToOpenFileEx to write to the log... although FlushFile OnMapEnd wouldn't be a bad idea in that case.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the first part, but the plugin will log players who disconnect during map change.

I didn't notice these functions before, thanks. LogToFileEx could simplify the code, but is it any more efficient that what I've done?

If the player left the game when changing map, the plugin will not log it.
And I wonder how many players disconnect when the map changes.

Well I just tested and (at least on Nuclear Dawn) players will be logged during map change when disconnecting on their own or for failing to download files or what have you.

You can tell from this example that I disconnected 2 seconds after map change. Here I set cl_allowdownload 0 on my client and changed my server to a custom map:

Code:

15:19:59 - <Xander> <STEAM_1:0:XXXX> <108.XXX.XXX.XXX> CONNECTED from <Unknown>

15:20:34 - ===== Map change to sk_plaza =====

15:20:36 - <Xander> <STEAM_1:0:XXXX> <108.XXX.XXX.XXX> DISCONNECTED after -1 minutes. <Disconnect by user.>

I assumed these generic server events are the same across all mods, but perhaps they aren't. What game are you running?

cs source
Try to find some players who joined, and no disconnection of the log (for the duration of 12 hours)
