Logging in vanguard : Vanguard Premium Discussions

Thought I'd share what I've found so far, maybe help other scripters.. I'm still struggling with a piece or two of this, but here's what I know:

-- game console (engine performance etc), as vanguard\VGClient.log
-- chat logging is off by default.
-- to turn on the log file, type /log in the console
-- this creates a log file in vanguard\bin\chat_log_YEAR_MODA_TIME.txt

example
today being 01/30/2007
time of log opened, 17:37 (5:37pm)
filename : vanguard\bin\Chat_log_2007_0130_1737.txt

Snip from Chat Log
