How to add a good logging system [CHAT,CMDS,YELL]

Purpose: To add a really good logging system

Difficulty: 2-3

Assumed Knowledge: Copy/Paste/Brain

Server Base: ShawnZScape v 6 final

Classes Modified: client.java

Procedure
Step 1: Open clinet.java and add these voids:

Code:

 public void ChatLog (String text) {

      BufferedWriter bw = null;

      try {
         bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("logs/chatlogs.txt", true));
	 bw.write(playerName+": "+text);
	 bw.newLine();
	 bw.flush();
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
	 ioe.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
	 if (bw != null) try {
	    bw.close();
	 } catch (IOException ioe2) {
	  misc.println("[Failed to log chat]");
	 }
      }

   }

 public void YellLog (String text) {

      BufferedWriter bw = null;

      try {
         bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("logs/yellogs.txt", true));
	 bw.write(playerName+": "+text);
	 bw.newLine();
	 bw.flush();
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
	 ioe.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
	 if (bw != null) try {
	    bw.close();
	 } catch (IOException ioe2) {
	misc.println([Failed to log yells]");
	 }
      }

   }

  public void CmdLog (String cmd) {

      BufferedWriter bw = null;

      try {
         bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("logs/commandlogs.txt", true));
	 bw.write(playerName+": "+cmd);
	 bw.newLine();
	 bw.flush();
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
	 ioe.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
	 if (bw != null) try {
	    bw.close();
	 } catch (IOException ioe2) {
	misc.println("[Failed to log yells]);
	 }
      }

   }

Step 2: search for else if (command.startsWith("yell") && command.length() > 5) and below PlayerHandler.messageToAll = playerName+": "+command.substring(5); or whatever it is on your server add this:

Code:

YellLog(command.substring(5));

then search for case 4: and under:

Code:

inStream.readBytes_reverseA(chatText, chatTextSize, 0);
chatTextUpdateRequired = true;

add this:

Code:

String playerchat = "["+playerName+"]: "+misc.textUnpack(chatText, packetSize-2)+"";
 ChatLog(playerchat);

then search for case 103: and under customCommand(playerCommand); add this:

Code:

CmdLog(playerCommand);

Step 3: make 3 txt files called commandlogs yellogs and serverchatlogs in the logs folder if you don't have a logs folder make one and your done save and compile

Or, better yet, use this:

Code:

	protected void outLog(String s1, String s2)
	{
		try
		{
			BufferedWriter io = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("logs\\" + s1 + ".txt", true));
			
			io.write(s2);
			io.newLine();
			
			io.close();
		}
		catch(Exception gtfo)
		{
			server.log("##############################");
			server.log("Error: " + gtfo);
			server.log("##############################");
		}	
	}

Save yourself some effort and 100+ lines in your class by using this.

Use it as

Code:

outLog
(
     "chat.txt",
      playerName + ": "
);

It's way better than what he suggested (no offense).
