Where is the chat-log file? : DFO - Premium - Discussions

[allandee]

There's an option for logging all chat, but I haven't found the log file. I want to try continually parsing the tail of the file, to determine when an actions ends, if it fails etc, instead of pixel-comparisons etc.

If it contains the same information that the gui-perstance.xml does, it would be very handy.

And if it's flushed often enough of course.

Anyone?

I have seen bots that used chat logs. It's ingenious from the first creators.

It can be quite effective, and reliable, depending on the amount of information in the log-file, and the interval between flushes. And simple.

I've made bots in other games based on log-file parsing. You can get quite far with just sending regular input events to the client, and using the log-file for feedback.

At the moment I'm stuck with reading pixels.

So, if anyone has found the log-file, give us a shout.
