[50BMG]

Didn't know what your motivations were, but looks like you don't need more help.

I'll have a look-see at your link. Thanks for the response Matthew.

Yes it works perfectly. On UT2004 servers.

I wonder if this is caused by your logger as well?

Log: Received ICMP port unreachable from 192.168.2.102:2103.  No matching connection found.

Never seen it before. I removed the logger from one of my servers, and I havent seen it on that server since. Of course it might be a coincidence..

There was a page or who of that.

[Matthew]

Doubtful. I've seen that once in a while on my servers, but a heck of a long time before I even thought of using a chat logger on the box.

Hmmz well i had your chatlogger installed, and it would log to the folder ../Logs/Chat

In that directory there came indeed log files created by the chatlogger, but all their filesizer were 0. So no chatlog at all, so i decided to remove it again.

[Matthew]

This is a problem with some servers. I'm looking into a fix (and what causes it).

Indeed it is creating the files, and believe it or not, it is actually logging the chat, however until your server crashes/restarts, these logs will not be accessable, and will show up with a filesize of 0.

So basically if you don't mind waiting an hour or two

This link for linux only?

[Obsidian]

It says Linux/Windows a few times so my guess is no.

You could also click the link yourself next time.

Matt,

After messin around with this for a bit I got it to work. I also think I know why its posting blank text on some servers. If you post the actor right after ServerActors=UWeb.WebServer in [Engine.GameEngine] of your unrealtournament.ini it works & copies the text to whatever folder you tell it. However, if you post the actor at the very end of [Engine.GameEngine] it won't work & the log files will be created but will be empty. Or at least this is what it did on my Linux server. As far as having ips & text both logged I just installed your utility Lin-WinChatLogger-V100.zip & ServerLog.zip utility as well & created separte folders on server for both logs of each utility. Statements for serverlog utility I added at very end of Engine.GameEngine] so my ini looks like this:

[Engine.GameEngine]
CacheSizeMegs=4
UseSound=True
ServerActors=IpDrv.UdpBeacon
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerQuery
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.mplayer.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=UWeb.WebServer
ServerActors=Lin-WinChatLogger-V100.ChatLogger
ServerPackages=SoldierSkins
ServerPackages=CommandoSkins
ServerPackages=FCommandoSkins
ServerPackages=SGirlSkins
ServerPackages=BossSkins
ServerPackages=Botpack
ServerPackages=MultiMesh
ServerPackages=Relics
ServerPackages=EpicCustomModels
ServerPackages=TCowMeshSkins
ServerPackages=TNaliMeshSkins
ServerPackages=TSkMSkins
ServerPackages=De
ServerPackages=SkeletalChars
ServerPackages=UTPureRC7G
ServerActors=UTPureRC7G.UTPureSA
ServerActors=ServerLog.ServerLog
ServerPackages=VAHandler7G

[Matthew]

Ah, interesting (the after ServerActors=UWeb.WebServer thing). I'll do some testing with this, and see what's all going on

For the record I keep my list like this:

ServerActors=IpDrv.UdpBeacon
ServerActors=IpServer2.UdpServerQuery2
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.mplayer.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=UWeb.WebServer
ServerActors=UTStatsBeta4_2.UTStatsSA
ServerActors=EasyMuteV16.EM
ServerActors=VAbeta2.VAServer
ServerActors=UTDCv17.SMain
ServerActors=Lin-WinChatLogger-V100.ChatLogger
ServerActors=SmartCTF_4C.SmartCTFServerActor
ServerActors=ServerAdds.ServerAdds
ServerActors=AKAv6kLog.ServerActor
ServerActors=asc746.asc_server


and that's working fine for me.

All the bugs discussed in this thread have been fixed in Lin/Win 1.02
