Catch what users say

[croni1012]

Hi,
Is there a possibility to catch what users say to others? I know i can read the log, but is there any other option? If not, how can I read JUST the last line of a file?

through the callback_playercommand

But that's libcod function, isnt that?

Indeed it is.

how can I read JUST the last line of a file?

With the built-in functions you cant. You would need to read the whole file in order to get to the last line. This is very ineffective as log files can get huge (we're talking in MB).
In my old script i deleted the log every time i read it. Take a look:



// stEvo

init() {
level.logName = "log.log";
level.logTimeRefresh = 1;
level.triggerString = "!"; // can be any multi-lenght string

setCvar("g_log", "scriptdata/"+level.logName); //
setCvar("g_logSync", 1); // You may need double restart if u havent set the cvars before

thread main_loop();
}

main_loop() {
wait 10;
while (1) {
clearLog();
wait level.logTimeRefresh;

filenum = OpenFile( level.logName, "read" );
if (filenum == -1) continue;

commas = freadln(filenum);
while (commas > 0) {
for (i = 0; i < commas; i++) {
response = fgetarg(filenum,i);
chr = 0;

type = "";
for (; chr < response.size; chr++)
if (response[chr] != ";") type += response[chr]; else break; chr ++;

guid = "";
for (; chr < response.size; chr++)
if (response[chr] != ";") guid += response[chr]; else break; chr ++;

id = "";
for (; chr < response.size; chr++)
if (response[chr] != ";") id += response[chr]; else break; chr ++;

name = "";
for (; chr < response.size; chr++)
if (response[chr] != ";") name += response[chr]; else break; chr ++;

message = "";
for (; chr < response.size; chr++)
if (response[chr] != ";") message += response[chr]; else break; chr ++;

if (validType(type) && validMessage(message))
thread doMessage(fixMessage(ToLower(message)), guid, id, name);
}

commas = freadln(filenum);
}

closeFile(filenum);
}
}

doMessage(message, guid, id, name) {

if (startsWith(message, "id"))
getId(id, message);

else if (startsWith(message, "kick"))
kickPlayer(id, message);

else
getPlayerByNum(int(id)) iprintlnbold("Invalid Command.");
}

//************************************************** ************************************************** **************

kickPlayer(id, message) {
player = getPlayerByNum(int(id));
//if (isDefined(player.admin) && !player.admin) { player iprintlnbold("You are not admin."); return;} // Uncomment

name = ""; chr = 0;
for (; chr < message.size; chr ++) if (message[chr] == " ") break; chr ++;
for (; chr < message.size; chr ++) name += message[chr];

playerToKick = getPlayerByName(name);
if (!isPlayer(playerToKick)) { player iprintlnbold("To many or no matches: " + name); return;}

kick(playerToKick getEntityNumber());

Its far from perfect but it gets the job done.



I know i can read the log, but is there any other option?

Not that i'm aware of (apart from libcod).
