I have seen a couple of really old forums about it but I simply cannot make heads or tails.

What I want to do is have folders per world.... and in that folder a new log file is started every day at 00:00:01 under the X Day of Y Month in Z Year.

How? :D

ps. Been using MUSHclient since it was waaaay old. Thanks :D

My understanding of the log system is that you configure the world file to log to a file that can contain the current date and time etc. When the world connects every thing will be logged to this file. I'm not sure about MUSH creating a new file at midnight, I'm pretty sure it's per session. So I think this would require a simple script to start and stop logging when the date changes.

Pretend I am a retard when it comes to code and scripting.... trust me, I am not far from it.

Someone got something on their client to suitably match the need?

I have Game -> Configure -> Logging configured to log to this file:

C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\logs\%d.%b.%y_Command_Window.html

This creates a file with the name:

C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\logs\31.Aug.09_Command_Window.html

So each time MUSH is started the log is appended of or a new one created with current date and time.

For my chat window I have to manually select Log Session from the file menu each time I start MUSH, I think this is because MUSH starts logging on world connect.

I don't think the you really need to script this MUSH will write the log file with the date for each day.

Here is a picture of my log dialog:

There are other things you can put in the log file name, such as the world name. See:

http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?dialog=IDD_PREFS_P4

You could make each world have its own subdirectory, however it won't create the subdirectory for you. You would have to manually make a subdirectory per world, and then the logs for that world could go in it. eg.


C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\logs\%N\%d.%b.%y_world_log.txt


The %N would be expanded to the current world name.

Oh and that string you suggested, Nick, this would need me to manually reconnect, yes? I have a staff bit on one MUSH and well, I never disconnect with him :P

What you can do is add a timer like this:


<timers>
  <timer 
    name="Reopen_Log" 
    enabled="y" 
    hour="1"  
    send_to="12"
>
  <send>

CloseLog ()
OpenLog ("", true)

</send>

  </timer>
</timers>


Template:pasting For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.


That will close and re-open the log every hour (if you are connected). Thus, it will tick over at midnight (or sometime in the next hour afterwards), closing the current log file and opening a new one. It will use the current log file string if you supply an empty string to OpenLog, and thus it will respect the date/time codes in it. During the day it will append to the existing log file, so you won't get lots of different files in one day.

In case this helps anyone, this is what I use to log unique files every time.

logging = function (mode)
  if (mode == "on") then
    local logname = GetInfo (66) .. [[logs\Trevize ]] .. os.date("%d-%m-%y ")
                   .. string.format ("%08i",math.random (1, 99999999)) .. ".html"
    OpenLog (logname)
    WriteLog ("<html>")
    WriteLog ("<head>")
    WriteLog ("<title>MUSHclient Log - Trevize Moonflair</title>")
    WriteLog ("</head>")
    WriteLog ("<body>")
    WriteLog ('<table border=0 cellpadding=5 bgcolor="#000000">')
    WriteLog ("<tr><td>")
    WriteLog ('<pre><code><font size=2 face="FixedSys, Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier">')
    Note ("Logging to " .. logname)
  else
    if IsLogOpen() then
      Note ("Stopped logging")
      WriteLog ("</font></code></pre>")
      WriteLog ("</td></tr></table>")
      WriteLog ("</body>")
      WriteLog ("</html>")
      CloseLog ()
    end -- if
  end -- if
end -- func


I just have a ^log (on|off)$ alias that calls logging (string.lower("%1")).

Did you paste it into the Timers configuration?

It worked for me when I pasted it into the Timers configuration. The instructions in the "how to paste" page are for triggers not timers. If you follow those literally you will see the message:


Line    1: Tag not used: <timers> ()


You need to switch to the Timers part of world configuration, not the Triggers part. The instructions given showed triggers as an example.
