Chat Logger

For those of us who are extremely social, like myself, it would be extremely nice to have a chat logging option within Cosmos.

Such features to include would be:
- Creation of "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\ChatLogs"
- Each logfile would be created by "ACCOUNTNAME - ChatChannel - CharacterName.log" (or .txt)
- Have cosmos***** pull chat out of the savedvariables.lua file to create such log files

As can be seen every account, chat channel and character name would have its very own log file. This way the log library would be diverse, yet consolidated all at the same time. I wish I knew how to program but I don't. :(

Since this is all just text I would think it'd be pretty easy to accomplish. Does anybody who programs for Cosmos have an easy solution?

I think the only external file that can be created by the scripting system is the SavedVariables.lua file. Someone correct me if i'm wrong...

Then maybe have cosmos***** read that file upon execution and create such log files?

I think it sounds as a great idea..

Several times I've been looking for this feature too.. But, well, that's just it.. :)..

Thx for bringing this up :)..

Would anybody know how to make something like this and be willing to impliment it into Cosmos?

I use that now, actually -- however it doesn't do what I mentioned in my original post. Great program, just not very diverse it creating log libraries. Just some small improvements for it would go a long, long way.

I've never actually used it, just posted it because it's the only tool of that nature I've seen for WoW so far. The features you want would pretty much all be handled by the out of game SavedVariables.lua parser. You could try contacting the ChatLogger author with your suggestions, he might be more willing to integrate changes than the Cosmos team. I get the impression that they don't change the Cosmos***** code very often.

oooooo good idea, Kyzoku! thank you!

Well I sent him an email a few days ago.

No response.

That was affective. :(
