[Tut] [317] Chat, CMD, Yell ... Logs!

[Jangan]

this is taken from an old site... its over a 6 months old tutorial with load of bugs, so i took it and fixed all the bugs in it and here i am giving it away to you guys =)

Purpose : To add a really good logging system

Difficulty : 1/10

Assumed Knowledge : Copy/Paste

Server Base : Tested (works for all)

Classes Modified : client.java

Procedure
Step 1 : Open client.java and add these voids:

public void ChatLog (String text) {

      BufferedWriter bw = null;

      try {
         bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("logs/chatlogs.txt", true));
     bw.write(playerName+": "+text);
     bw.newLine();
     bw.flush();
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
     ioe.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
     if (bw != null) try {
        bw.close();
     } catch (IOException ioe2) {
      misc.println("[Chat Logging Failed!]");
     }
      }

   }

 public void YellLog (String text) {

      BufferedWriter bw = null;

      try {
         bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("logs/yellogs.txt", true));
     bw.write(playerName+": "+text);
     bw.newLine();
     bw.flush();
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
     ioe.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
     if (bw != null) try {
        bw.close();
     } catch (IOException ioe2) {
    misc.println("[Yell Logging Failed]");
     }
      }

   }

  public void CmdLog (String cmd) {

      BufferedWriter bw = null;

      try {
         bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("logs/commandlogs.txt", true));
     bw.write(playerName+": "+cmd);
     bw.newLine();
     bw.flush();
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
     ioe.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
     if (bw != null) try {
        bw.close();
     } catch (IOException ioe2) {
    misc.println("[CMD Logging Failed]");
     }
      }

   } 

Step 2:
search for

if (command.startsWith("yell") && command.length() > 5) 

and below or whatever it is on your server add this:

 PlayerHandler.messageToAll = playerName+": "+command.substring(5); 
     YellLog(command.substring(5)); 

then search for case 4: and under:

 inStream.readBytes_reverseA(chatText, chatTextSize, 0);
chatTextUpdateRequired = true; 

add this:

      ChatLog(playerchat); 

then search for case 103: and under customCommand(playerCommand); add this:

CmdLog(playerCommand); 

Step 3 : make 3 txt files called commandlogs yellogs and serverchatlogs in the logs folder if you don't have a logs folder make one and your done save and compile

GREAT tut man although it's not originally yours great job on the edits *applaud*

i did make a log like that before.. its pretty easy actually =) but yeah i just got a made one already, and fixed it up no one reported any bugs so far hehe tested on 4 svrs and all work

*NOTE* if you have a big svr like mine, i dont recommand to have a "chat Log" because that will just lag your svr if you have 80 people on talking a lot lol! your log would go to like 5mb an hour =P
