| hi folks,
Looking for some input on how I would go about capturing game output to a log file that could be triggered by specific events? Stuff like solving a big quest or PVP conflicts.
I think I know how to setup the event triggers but am not sure how to go about capturing game output with all its ANSI glory...
A PVP example would be:
2 players engage in PVP.
I would like to capture (from each players POV) ~60 seconds leading up to the engagement, their equipment and inventory.
Here's an example from another MUD: https://www.durismud.com/pvp/logs/301761
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! | | Top |

| I plugged into send_to_char_color() and act() with my logging hooks and am successfully writing to file. It's not capturing all the ANSI goodness though.

You are using:

I'll keep digging/researching but if anyone has ideas, please share. Thank you | | Top |

| I'm still not super happy with the quality of the logs themselves but the system is working.
Maybe I can find a way to convert terminal output to HTML and post process them? | | Top |

| | There's a function in the server that converts stuff like &C into colours. You could simply do a find-and-replace of all those codes into HTML styles easily enough. |
