A3Log - A lightweight logging extension

[Arkensor 96]

Hi one question,

 

does this logger work in server config.cfg event handlers(onUnsignedData, onHackedData,...)?

 

I want to log failed connects to server. I want to know why it happens.

 

Cheers, IA.

 

Hey there,

 

I have never tried that out. I am not familiar with serverside scripting via those event handlers. If you are able to perform a callExtension there, then yes you could use it, and just pass the private variable information from the evvenhandlers in the given format, like describen in the main post.

 

A feedback about it would be great, if it works or not :)

Hi, i finaly tested your logger but it seems like nothing happens. No logs or errors are produced.

This is what i have tried...

onUserConnected = "['I am Superman!'] call A3Log;";

onUserConnected = "[""I am Superman!""] call A3Log;";

Any idea?

[Arkensor 96]

I will investigate on what is possible with those server side scripting things tomorrow. If available callExtension would be the way to go. But not even diag_log seems to work in that pice of "beatiful and intelligent designed" function

because that's not supported in this specials server commands, only kick and ban

That was what dwarden said. So not it is not possbile @IcyAxe

 

However you could use the eventhandlers like onPlayerConnected & onPlayerDisconnected on the server side and call the extension / or the A3Log funtion from there.

Hello folks,

 

the next release will feature a optional console output, as that might be easier for some layz debugging people, who do not even want to open a logfile, but recive information as soon as it is passed to the DLL.

 

As always, if you have got a suggestion feel free to post it here to contact me via pm.

 

 

Regards Arkensor

Release will be this weekend. People who want to pre release test it may pm me or write me in the offical arma discord :)

 

Important: Please update your config after each version, since I change it 99% of the time. If you do not update your config you will miss out all the features

A3Log v1.6

Hey there,

 

i will update the main post, since it the forum upgrade destroyed it, and also build and release the x64 versions of the dlls asap.

Expect both to happen this weekend.

Maybe x64 unlocks some potencial for A3Log, in case of performace.

I will also try to get BE whitelist the new dlls, so that you can finally use them as client mod too.

Also the main post is fixed now :)

Sure it can, just have a look at the configuration .ini files to setup multiple output files

Hi Dudes!

May someone can give me hint on how to use this plugin.. i searched for 2 hours but couldnt start over..

example logs are working so im on setting up some "own" logentrys..

 

i dont know if i can use the loadinit to put some code in there to log functions like

onPlayerconnect ["%playername% connected","connectionlog"] call A3Log;

or if i should put a string like

["%playername% connected","connectionlog"] call A3Log

into the function file itself..

 

maybe some of u be nice and give me a short startup? =)

ty in advance

[Arkensor 96]

Hello @Pinguin Bronson,

 

based on your code example: 

 

onPlayerconnect {
	[format["%1 connected", _name],"connectionlog"] call A3Log;
};

This would do the job.

thx buddy, really appreciate that tip!

Hello! Ive started using this extension and sometimes it starts and other times it does not. you know why? I've changed the folder to another server addon and changed the config. When it starts, everything is ok :S Help!

You need to be more precise than that and describe me what you mean by >it does not start<

I would suggest if something seems to be broken, that you redownload it and change the options step by step to see where you might did something wrong. Also i would not suggest addon the addons and dlls into another @mod folder

Hey my Friends 

 

i want to use this Logging for my Altis Life Server and i want to log all moneytransfer. So i have i nsert this line to my "fn_receiveMoney.sqf"

#include "..\..\script_macros.hpp"
/*
    File: fn_receiveMoney.sqf

[0] call SOCK_fnc_updatePartial;
/*
Goodlife Logging - Money Log
*/
[format[_unit, "hat von", _from, _val, "dollar bekommen.","AltisLife"]] call A3Log;

You're using the "format" command wrong. 

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/format

+ provide your A3Log.ini  file 

+ this command has to be called on the server, or remote executed from a client to the server.

Hello everyone ... sorry, I know the discussion is old, but I need a little help if possible ... I uploaded via FTP the folder @ A3Log to the directory where I have all the mods .... I added to the list mod (both -mod and -Servermod) @ A3log ... I compiled the .ini file .... As soon as I start a mission and try a simple "[" I am Superman! "] Call A3Log;" , this error appears in the RPT file: "Call extension 'A3Log' could not be loaded: The specified module could not be found." can someone help me? Thank you!

[El' Rabito 164]

Still works perfectly. Thanks for that 👍
