Hi Guys,

i can't figure out, how could i save the chat log from the server. Is there any way to achieve this? I created a small code which sends email alert about the next turn to the players and i'd like to attach the chat messages as well.

Thanks in advance!

There's no ability for the server to save a simple logfile of chat messages.

You could enable the event cache (see server settings ec_turns, ec_chat etc) and scrape chat messages out of a savegame (either the automatic turn-change one, if you've enabled it, or a script-triggered one).

This is an internal format, so undocumented and subject to change between major versions, but should be fairly stable.) Search for [event_cache].

(Watch out for information leaks between players...)

Thanks, i've found it!

Now i can write a small parser which extracts the public chat messages and attach it to the email.
