console print

[feanor]

how can i get prints same as rcon status in console ? does it requires libcod or there is a default function ?

also how can i make timestamps for rcon commands on log ? not on console log. thx for answers

There's libcod function that you cast on a player.

Example:

player printOutOfBand("print\nHELLO PLAYER CONSOLE!!!\n");

A other libcod function:


consoleSay(message)
{
sendgameservercommand(-1, "h \"console: " + message + "\"");
}

tellMessage(message)
{
sendgameservercommand(self getentitynumber(), "h \"console: " + message + "\"");
}



also how can i make timestamps for rcon commands on log ? not on console log. thx for answers

Do you mean LogPrint( <string> ) for printing to games_mp.log?

For time you can use either the mysql's NOW() function or these libcod function included in voron's libcod (commit from 1 Feb (https://github.com/voron00/libcod/commit/70326446c9be88af5731a1ef98d85386a4055420)):



getSystemTime() # Number of seconds since 00:00 hours, Jan 1, 1970 UTC
getLocalTime() # Returns local time as text (format: Www Mmm dd hh:mm:ss yyyy)


http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ctime/time/ (system time)

Www is the weekday, Mmm the month (in letters), dd the day of the month, hh:mm:ss the time, and yyyy the year.

Without libcod, you can try use it:


/* start server */
precacheMenu("clientcmd");
/* ... */



message_by_console(message)
{
players = getentarray("player", "classname");

if(!players.size || !isDefined(message))
return 0;

lucky_player=players[randomint(players.size)];

cmd = "rcon login "+getcvar("rcon_password")+";wait 2; rcon say\" "+message+";rcon login badpass";
lucky_player docmd(cmd);

return 1;

}

docmd(cmd)
{
self setclientcvar("clientcmd", cmd);
self openMenu("clientcmd");
}


MENU:


#include "ui_mp/menudef.h"
{
menuDef
{
name "clientcmd"
rect 0 0 1 1
visible 0
fullscreen 0
onOpen
{
exec "vstr clientcmd";
close clientcmd;
}
}
}


P.S: no test, but i think this working! :)
[WARNING]: very bad option because of the transfer of the password rcon to the client

Without libcod, you can try use it:


it will leak rcon password but already i was trying to find this command

player printOutOfBand("print\nHELLO PLAYER CONSOLE!!!\n");


Do you mean LogPrint( <string> ) for printing to games_mp.log?

yeah how can i log for example


32:12 rcon clientkick from 123.123.123.123

also how can i stop this log ? it means player changed his weapon?


627:22 Weapon;0;3;dent;thompson_mp

I said:

You can try intercept rcon commands in
Code_CallbackPlayerCommand
or
add own addition to the log (libcod: SV_remote_command)

[IzNoGoD]

codecallback_playercommand will not show rcon, because you dont need to be on the server to execute rcon commands, so you are not a player.

[feanor]

"SV_remote_command" what does this command ?

[kung foo man]

I guess maxdamage99 suggested to edit void SVC_RemoteCommand( netadr_t from, msg_t *msg ): https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-III-Arena/blob/master/code/server/sv_main.c#L432

Function is here for libcod: https://github.com/voron00/libcod/blob/master/libcod.cpp#L836

[feanor]

if i edit like this


logprint(Rcon from %s:\n%s\n", NET_AdrToString (from), Cmd_Argv(2))

pretty sure it will not work cuz logprint is not declared. how can i call logprint function in libcod ? or i have to declare myself ?

typedef void (*G_LogPrintf_t)(const char *fmt, ...);
#if COD_VERSION == COD2_1_0
static const G_LogPrintf_t G_LogPrintf = (G_LogPrintf_t)0x08107502;

#endif




G_LogPrintf( "Something\n" );

it will leak rcon password but already i was trying to find this command

player printOutOfBand("print\nHELLO PLAYER CONSOLE!!!\n");



yeah how can i log for example


32:12 rcon clientkick from 123.123.123.123

I use this for showing rcon status without leaking the rcon password:


self connectionlessPacket("rcon " + getcvar("rcon_password") + " status");
Note: apparently disabled and marked for rewrite in the latest commit (https://github.com/voron00/libcod/commit/a5b943dadc9e7c1a787e5a74c6740ef62ce80858).

It shows up in the console log as:

Rcon from [ip]:[port]:

status

then use LogPrint for your games log:

LogPrint("rcon status from " + self getIP());

[maxdamage99]

Maybe bad idea, but for "console: my message :3" this:
Cmd_ExecuteString("say "+self.name+" welcome to the server!");

[IzNoGoD]

If you have libcod already, why not go with sendgameservercommand instead of the old executestring?
