[0.13] Add [CHAT] infront of the playername in the log file

[NoPantsMcDance]

@OxyD please add [CHAT] before any chat in the log file thanks <3

adding to this, it would be super helpful to also post a utc time stamp on the same line so we know when this happened without having to calculate game tics since start

I second this, but I'd like for it to be taken a step further, and have it include timestamps like the rest of the server output:

Something like this:

mm:ss [CHAT] username: message message message ipsum something blah.

Phantastic idea! (hehe I read the chat guys)

A good question here is also if everything should be logged. Levels of logging, if you know what I mean.

Alright, implemented. I also added other message tags like [KICK], [BAN] or [COMMAND], because why not.

The output now looks like this:

Code: Select all

2016-07-21 15:05:38 [CHAT] Oxyd: Hi
2016-07-21 15:05:49 [KICK] Oxyd was kicked by Oxyd. Reason: unspecified.
2016-07-21 15:07:02 [DEMOTE] Foo failed to demote player Oxyd (not an admin).
2016-07-21 15:07:10 [PROMOTE] Foo was promoted to admin by Oxyd.
2016-07-21 15:07:14 [BAN] Foo was banned by Oxyd. Reason: unspecified.
