[cod] Logging Question.

[Richard Harrison]

Thanks for that prompt answer.
 
I think i may not have made my self clear on question 2. I was not thinking about scripting this bit 'in-game' but when i started the server up. So it would be in the start up command that was executed in linux. I understand that i would still get one log file (even if it was prefixed with a date) until i restarted the server but i can look at some cron jobs to bounce it at a quite point of the day. 
 
Once again thanks for the answer to question 1

1:  Yes.  Send the set g_log "games_mp.log" via rcon and change the name to whatever you want.  

 

2:  It cannot be done automatically with the game engine.  The log file name is set in the server config file, so unless a script wizard knows how to rewrite the a config file that has the line set g_log "games_mp.log" and can change it to increment the date each day, and then reboot the server, it would not be possible.  You can, however, do as in #1.

Since there has been talk of logging i have been thinking and wondering if you can do the following.

1) Can you change the log file mid game or is it something that can only be set when the game server starts?

2) Does anyone know how i can configure the start up line to name the log file with a date instead of mpgame.log for example 20040608cod.log 

Thanks,

Richard
