I'm looking at CoD at the moment to see if it is possible to include it in my list of supported games. For those who don't know the bot yet, it's an IRC Reporter Bot. That means it tries to show on IRC what is happening on a server. Depending on the game type and the way it is run it can show you for example the game time, player frags/deaths/statistics, objective info, etc. of a game in progress. For more info check http://www.gab-clan.org/downloads/rtcw/rtcwbot/...
Basically, the bot is capable of doing it by reading the logfile (which normally should be a copy of what is seen in the game console) that a server or (more often) a client connected to server generates. The bot parses that logfile and sends all relevant information to IRC.
In order to determine if it is possible at all to make it available to the CoD community I need to have some feedback/input from that CoD community.
First of all I need to get as much logfile data as I can get...
How can you help me?
You can help me by sending these logfiles to me (stating the game (CoD), the type (server,client) and optionally the game MOD running (main, ???)).
It seems at the moment that the only logfile I might be able to support are the logfiles generated by the server themselves (setting g_log and logfile on client side does not seem to show any kills). So I am asking for server admins who are capable of generating these logfiles.
As a server admin you can generate these logfiles by starting the server with the following options:
+set g_log games_mp.log
+set g_logsync 1
+set logfile 2
or in your server.cfg:
seta g_log "games_mp.log"
seta g_logsync "1"
seta logfile "2"
This will generate a file on the server called games_mp.log (probably in the main/ directory). That is the file you should send to me (preferable zipped/compressed).
Thanks for your help!
