BF1942, but one of them, the change to the <span class=SpellE>bf<span

work for BFV (my comments on it are the final thing in item in the lists below).<span

features listed below can be handled without needing require anyone to recode
anything in their parsers, unless they want to take advantage of new <span

tag, even the act of fixing which would break most or all of the parsers
again!<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>So, my suggestion: please
consider the effect of any changes you want to make on the existing
parser/stats systems that people have already written!<span

some of the events particularly scares me—except for the bugs listed

which log file is being written.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
</span>Suggestion: rather than getting into complicated semaphores or
locking protocols, when the log file is created, the server should name the
file something that can’t be confused the name of completed log file
(example: instead of “ev_14567-20040218_1939.zxml”, name it “temp_14567-20040218_1939.zxml”.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>Besides being easy to do, it has three
advantages: (1) parsers can tell when a log file is ready to be scanned,
unlike the present system; (2) when the server crashes and leaves the log
in an improper XML state, that file never gets renamed, and never has to
be dealt with by a parser; (3) programs that are using the log file to
carry-out real-time control over the server (for example, to automatically
ban players who are using “inappropriate” language) can easily
tell which file they should be monitoring.<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>

it’s clear that there is no need for multiple namespaces, as both
BF1942 and BFV use the same XML tags.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
</span>Further, there are no qualified names used in the logs, so there is
no need for the two different local identifiers used (“bf” and
“<span class=SpellE>bfv</span>”).<span
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>A much cleaner way to do things
would be to add an attribute that specifies the engine being run, and to
use the version attribute to refer to the log format version for that
engine, and the version number in the namespace name to refer to the
version of the (seldom changing) namespace, thus:<o:p></o:p></span></font></li>

the parsers already in existence. . . for that reason I think a good case can
be made for just leaving it the way it is; however, if there’s a chance
there will be more versions, engines, or namespaces in the future, I think it
would be worth it to “bite the bullet”, make the change now, and
just get it over with.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
