Then enable "client modding" in the advance settings menu

Heh, nice idea to copy nearly everything from my clientmod's first post. :D
Could you write the chatlog also into a file?

Yeah I'm pretty bad at writing bbcode so I used your post as an example. I can't save it to a normal file because CSM doesn't give mods direct filesystem access, however you can find the json file the mod saves to in "/client/mod_storage/chatlog"

Very cool! Is this a mod, or a feature with the latest dev build?

Both? It's a mod for the new lua api.

update: The mod is now able to automatically detect if it should log messages that it's sending to the server.

Thanks for the mod! It's a pity that clientside mods can't access the filesystem :-( Thus we need a second script in order to read what was stored.

I can't really read it. I opened it with LibreOffice because it seems to be a CSV, but it looks unformatted.

@BBmine: Have you tried leafpad?

it's json encoded so yes libreoffice wouldn't handle it.

May i implement this into my upcoming csm mod??? I make an adv_csm which includes lots of features such as playerlist and some node stuff and more debug and the coloured chat. I want to get this too, if you allow me, or i will code my own one.

Hello there!
This CSM seems really promising; I need to look at things people wrote with me.
So it saves the chatlog in a file in the mod’s storage, right? Does it also work for server notifications, PMs and other things? Just everything the chat gives you?
Anyway, I sadly have to report that this mod doesn’t work for me. My Minetest 5.4.1 is showing the following error:
Code: Select all
ModError: Failed to load and run mod "chatlog":
chatlog:init.lua:31: attempt to call field 'register_on_receiving_chat_messages' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
chatlog:init.lua:31: in main chunk
Check debug txt for details.
I did not yet have the time nor interest into coding mods for myself, tho I want to get into it, especially some CSM.
So how can this be fixed? I understand that that parameter doesn’t exist; what is it now? And any idea why it changed?
Thanks for the mod and hopefully some answers and fixes.
--Mesenotaur
EDIT: Ok, this was a very easy fix. You just need to replace the two register_on_receiving_chat_messages in the code to register_on_receiving_chat_message (message instead of messages). Then the mod doesn’t crash and you join the server.
But: The logging logged the server messages, that’s good. But I wrote some messages into the chat and it logged nothing at all from those. I saw something like Debug id: 0 and Debug id: 1 in chat, which wasn’t there before. Is it not logging what I myself write?
