I know it would be a big help if a new server option was included to allow complete logging of everything in the server console. This is already available for RC I have noted but not for the server console.
Re: Gserver console logging
I think in serveroptions.txt, there is
detailedconsole = false
showconsolepackets = false
Change them to true and your set.
Re: Gserver console logging
You mis-understand what I'm asking for.
I know that you can increse the detail available in the console. I'm talking about actually logging to a .txt file similar to rclog.txt in the log folder. You'll notice if you take a look at that, they've done a great job in logging RC. If they could enable that same feature for the server console, say for example console.txt or just have it log to the errorlog.txt which is always empty anyway, then you would be able to review the server logs after a crash.
Or in case you want to see something further back then the current gserver buffer. (The console only retains so much history)
Logging will allow you to see what transpired to cause the crash, ie. who was on and what they were doing, and what was their IP.
EDIT: Nalin, wont having RC and the Server console log to the same log file cause a conflict?
Re: Gserver console logging
rclog.txt should only list rc logins/logouts and actions.
We should make a consolelog.txt howerver I think it should be overwritten on server restart rather than appended and should also have a max line count. The data in it wouldn't be too useful past that time and plus the file would be HUGE and slow down the server.
