Command logger

Johnny got his gun · **Plugin Info:**

Logs client console commands.

Can log everything, or only those lines containing phrases registered with this server command: commandlogger_register
Can log to AMXX logs, HL logs or a custom logfile.

Read source for info on how to set the cvars up.

Remember to put the .amxx file on the very top of plugins.ini, also if you run several metamod plugins, move AMX Mod X on top of Metamod's plugins.ini.

I use
AMXMODX 0.2 041108 nightly
I've put this plugin at the top of plugins.ini
I have amxmodx_mm.dll at the top of metamod plugins.ini

I have this in amxx.cfg

Code:

commandlogger_logto 2
commandlogger_filepath addons/amxmodx/logs/custom/commands.log //THIS IS WRONG
commandlogger_register "amx_ban"
commandlogger_register "amx_kick"
commandlogger_register "amx_slap"
commandlogger_register "amx_chat"
commandlogger_register "amx_csay"
commandlogger_register "amx_tsay"

But nothing is written to the logfile

I also created the file commands.log because I thought it had to be done.
Does this plugin create the log file automatically if you have a custom file?

Any help is appriceated.

[EDIT 1]
OK one thing I have found out
If you use custom filepath it has to be like this

Code:

commandlogger_filepath custom/commands.log

Then the file is saved in addons/amxmodx/logs/custom/commands.log

But the thing is it only logs if I turn of the filter. No registered commands are logged.
So what isn't right here?

I don't know?

I tried this in server.cfg:

commandlogger_filter 1
commandlogger_filepath clientcommands.log
commandlogger_logto 2
commandlogger_register amx_help

Then I log on with a client, open console, and type this:
amx_hlp
amx_help
amx_hlp
(yeah amx_hlp misspelled twice, once before, once after the right time)

Then I check server console:

Quote:

L 11/11/2004 - 21:17:55: Log file started (file "cstrike\addons\amxmodx\logs\cli
entcommands.log") (game "cstrike") (amx "0.2")
L 11/11/2004 - 21:17:55: JGHG/STEAM_66666666 command: amx_help

So it seems to work ok.? It only logged once, and it logged to a new file...

Note that you need to find out what client "commands" aren't really client->server commands, but exist entirely only at clients. I think "name" is one of those, because "name" cmd is never sent to server. Name is then really a client cvar (and in that sense not a command at all), and there are lots of those.

Btw I think that if you specify a subdir in custom path, it must exist! I don't think that the logging feature will/can create that subdirectory on its own, you will have to create it then... Or you could just try specifying a file. Or use standard amxx logs, because then you can have them saved per day etc, like you have specified in amxx.cfg.

lantz69 · 11-11-2004 , 15:54

The subdirs work fine (because I created it

)

This is what i get in the log file:

Code:

L 11/11/2004 - 19:38:49: Admin | Sprayburk/STEAM_0:0:1587527 command: amx_slapmenu 
L 11/11/2004 - 20:16:08: Admin | Sprayburk/STEAM_0:0:1587527 command: amx_slapmenu 
L 11/11/2004 - 20:22:01: Admin | Sprayburk/STEAM_0:0:1587527 command: amx_slapmenu 
L 11/11/2004 - 21:22:04: Admin | jQt/STEAM_0:1:884266 command: amx_csay green STOP CAMPING.. ELSE SLAP/KICK/BAN ! ! !
L 11/11/2004 - 21:23:26: Admin | jQt/STEAM_0:1:884266 command: amx_csay green STOP CAMPING.. ELSE SLAP/KICK/BAN ! ! !
L 11/11/2004 - 21:23:27: Admin | jQt/STEAM_0:1:884266 command: amx_csay green WHERES THE BOMB PLANT/DEFUSE ??? ! ! !
L 11/11/2004 - 21:44:21: Admin | Sprayburk/STEAM_0:0:1587527 command: amx_kickmenu 
L 11/11/2004 - 21:45:00: Admin | Sprayburk/STEAM_0:0:1587527 command: amx_kickmenu 
L 11/11/2004 - 21:45:02: Admin | Sprayburk/STEAM_0:0:1587527 command: amx_slapmenu

That's really nice, but I want to see how many times they slap or kick or ban. Or maybe amx_tsay or amx_csay
Would that be possible ?
Because it would be easy to see how your admins are behaving. And it is all in the same file

You can look above to see what I've registered.

Ahh well I guess your admins are slapping/kicking etc using menus? Then they are likely not using commands (well, slot1-0 I think are the commands really when using menus), but you wouldn't be able to get anyting out of that would you?
Because you don't know what menu the client is in... also slot1-0 is probably used for other stuff like selecting team and weapons in old gui.

Any chance this could be made to show on screen in amx_chat format so admins could see who is trying what server commands when it happens as well as log to file? I leave the amx_vote function open to people to help combat cheaters and to setup map votes etc. but lately we have been getting a lot of trolls who try and votekick/voteban everyone on the server or just make a nuisance of themselves with endless stupid votes. I don't want to pull "j" level access from my regulars but I sure as hell am not giving them any admin so being able to see who attempted what while I'm in my server would be nice. Something like "Player used command amx_voteban on STEAM:0:0

xxxxxx" on screen in admin only chat would be great. I have an old amxmod plugin that worked great for this purpose up until I upgraded to .20 RC7 and now it doesn't work.

okay, I am having a problem with my logger.

It won't update, even though it has its (i presume) its temp file (named c) in the directory with the log, it hasn't updated for 2 or so weeks.

Any clue why?
