i know its possible im just not sure how so if someone could point me in the right direction or give me some example code that would be great!

but how can i get the scripts.dll to read the gamelogs, basically i want to create my own custom commands in scripts.dll so you get the idea.

Cheers buffymaniack

well, heres a clue, you gotta do it line, by line. As in, everytime you read it, you gotta load the whole file, then set the position you wanna read from.

long last_line = 0;
ifstream gamelog("example_gamelog_name.txt"); // gamelog names do change, your gonna have to generate the correct names
if (gamelog.is_open()) {
  std::string line;
  gamelog.seekg (last_line, ios::beg); // puts it back to the last read position
  while (!gamelog.eof()) { // reads until the end of file is reached
    getline(gamelog,line); // saves a line into a string 'line' to do with as you wish
  }
  gamelog.seekg(0, ios::end); // sets the pointer to the last point in the file
  last_line = gamelog.tellg(); // saves the last point into the variable 'last_line'
} else {
  printf("Error occured, gamelog unreadable.\n");
}


and all this could be within a function and called every X time period, or whenever checking of new lines is needed.

Reading gamelog from scripts.dll is pointless. All the information that is in gamelog is available through various scripts.dll functions that your stuff can also use.

sorry my mistake when i said gamelog, i actually meant renlog so i can view chat etc. and create a on command system for example custom kill commands etc. so i can go about getting it to view the renlog and if a certain command is there it will perform what i want it to.

But how within scripts.dll can i get it to run that function every 10 seconds or something. I mean im familiar with loops etc. im just unsure how to get it to run a function within a .dll every x amount of secs.

Thanks buffymaniack

For 2.9, I am going to add a hook that will get called everytime something is written to the console. Maybe you could use that to get your "renlog" parsing.

If you want to check the text that someone is saying, have a look at the Chat Hook.

Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

wd, i made a mistake about the page's but player leave is in the renlog. page is in the bhs logs, which is still a log.

what confuses me is if bhs.dll can get pages, why can't it be made into a hook? or is there a deeper reason?

Chathook
AddChatHook(hook); /* add this someplace at the execution of the scripts,
like in dllmain's section where it loads the bhs.dll functions
and stuff. or even when ObjectHookClass's start is called*/

const char *WideCharToChar(const wchar_t *wcs); // this is in engine.h/.cpp so no need to redo the whole body
void hook(int id, int type, const wchar_t *msg) {
  // type 0 = normal chat
  // type 1 = team chat
  if (type == 2) return; // don't want ppage's to show as chat
  std::string text = WideCharToChar(msg);
  // phrase the message
}

ok thanks for that, i found that the ssaow already claims the right to the chat hook, and from bhs.txt says only one hook can be in use at one time, so i guess I'll have to embed it inside the ssaow chat hook.

unless anyone knows different?
thanks buffymaniack
