About chat logs

[realRO]

Hi, i am curious on how to make a chat logs like this:

- Only a set of words will be recorded at chatlogs: Example (bugs, bug, cheat)

And which is more convinient to you? SQL logs or .txt logs? 

If SQL logs, what do I need to activate? All I know is putting "yes" on logi_athena.conf, and it will be automatically goes to logs? thanks?

For logging specific strings you'd need to alter the src to check each string and compare it against an array of words.. which is very resource intensive.

You could achieve the same thing in NPC scripting which is easier to code and manage, but would use more resources than the src version.

// Log CHAT (Global, Whisper, Party, Guild, Main chat, Clan) (Note 3)
// LOGGING FILTERS
// =============================================================
// 0 = Don't log at all
// 1 - Log Global messages
// 2 - Log Whisper messages
// 4 - Log Party messages
// 8 - Log Guild messages
// 16 - Log Main chat messages
// 32 - Log Clan messages
// Example:
// log_chat: 5 = logs both Whisper & Party messages
// log_chat: 8 = logs only Guild messages
// log_chat: 63 = logs everything
log_chat: 0

SQL logging is enabled by default. log_chat should be 63 to log all chats.

I see, thank you for replying. Do we have a source modification wiki here at the forums? I am technically a beginner for writing scripts and making custom changes at source codes. 

About making it as SQL. Will it disrupt the whole database or the log database is separate from the "ragnarok" database? Thank you

The log database is not the main database, though most users foolishly have all the tables in one database.

You can find everything you need in the doc folder in terms of scripting.

Oh I see. Lastly, is there a folder that instructs or a manual for source coding? Thank you for mentioning these kind of stuff and about the /doc folder.
