Moved to the correct forum for debate.

I agree with Cruncher, this would be a nice feature to have, without having to run an additional process for twx, and a script. This could easily be implemented in TWGS, without all the overhead and much easier to turn on an option than to write a script.

Sure lets just wait for it to be added. OR use a script or an observer to do it right now. I am not debating, I am offering solutions.

I understand that, and since I'm not a scriptwriter, and I understand that having the sysop hanging around all the time can make players uncomfortable, it was just an idea.

Why do you need this again?

I have a rule against pdropping, one of my noobs pdropped Karl.

Too funny actually, Karl sent me the fed logs.

Wrong Forum Mongoose...



I don't really see how Botlink would help with this, as you would still have to have an active connection to each game, and you would still have to write a script.

I think Botlink is a server side script not needing a client to run.

Nope...

Uhh well ask Karl, he could write this simple script in about 30 lines of code or less.

All you need to do is trigger off the Ansi Color and letter for Fedcomm and write to a text file. With a few other minor items but this would be a super easy first script for someone to write that is wanting to learn.

I've been learning C#, JAVA, Java Script, JQuery Mobile, along with HTML 5 and CCS3.

I may not be able to write much, but I can usually read code and tell you what it may be doing.

TWX hurts my head, I'm sorry... it's going to be a while before I code anything in TWX.

If I understand its capabilities correctly, Botlink would let you log Fedcomm without needing to log an observer into the game. Actually, it would let you log ALL in-game communications, not just Fedcomm.

http://blog.classictw.com/ is the only Botlink information available that I am aware of. Botlink was being tested on the beta server, but is currently disabled. Phase 1 deals mainly with access to the TW database. You would have to wait for Phase 2 for any event driven activity.

Wouldn't it just be nice to have a little checkbox that says log fedcomm to file?

The fed logs would only have their argument about it happening, not actual proof that it happened unless one of the players made a confession. You need the actual player logs, a feature I previously requested and was denied.

They all cheated.

Yes, but how exactly?
