    Chatlogging: How?

    Hello everyone,

    I've been here a while, and have seen mention of some people having records of the ingame chat . I've searched about, and still have no idea how to do it. Could anyone who knows explain how they do it?

    I had a pretty funny conversation with FoogooFish that i'ld love to share on 'Grinning and Commenting', but I'm blasted to remember the words.

    Cheers,
    Kit

    And it will be the FoogooFish who provides you with the information! I made this post on another server's forums a long time ago:

    After mentioning that I could check my chat logs to see if a certain thing did or did not happen, I received some requests to share how to set up chat logging. Instead of sending PMs, I decided to post here so everyone could benefit.

    How to Set Up Chat Logging

    - Go to the nwn2player.ini file that is located in your My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2 file and open it.

    - Scroll down a bit until you see [Game Options] in text.

    - Insert the following line beneath the [Game Options] header: ClientChatLogging=1

    - Save and close the file.

    Your chat will now be logged, and it will be saved in a certain file that's a pain to find.

    - Pull up your C drive.

    - Go to the Documents and Settings folder.

    ---If you are using a version of Windows that is newer than XP, go to the Users folder.

    - Go to the folder that has the username you use for your computer.

    - Go to the Local Settings folder.

    ---If you are using a version of Windows that is newer than XP, go to the AppData folder and then the Local folder.

    --- Depending on your settings, this folder may be hidden. To show folders that are hidden, go up to the Tools options at the top of your screen. Then select Folder Options. Then select the View tab. In the Advanced Settings window, you should see a folder icon called "Hidden files and folders" and a button option to select "Show hidden files and folders". Once you select the option and OK it, the Local Settings folder should show.

    - Go to the Temp folder.

    - Go to the NWN2 folder.

    - Go to the LOGS folder.

    - There will be two documents inside this folder. Chat logging is saved to the one called nwclientLog1.txt. I strongly recommend that if you are serious about saving your chat logs that you create a shortcut to nwclientLog1 on your desktop, because it is far easier than remembering how to get to the file each time.

    Important Notes

    - Every time you start NWN2 from your desktop, the words in the chat file will be erased! It is important to save before you restart the game if you want to keep your chat logs. I created a folder called Chat Logs in the My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2 folder and save all my logs there.

    - If the server crashes and you only exit back to the main menu, your chat logs are fine.

    - Auto-downloader information - all the files that get checked when logging into the server - gets saved to chat logs. It's a big blob of text, and it will show in your chat log each and every time you have to rejoin the server.

    Tips and Tricks

    Since I use chat logs for many purposes, I have a naming system I use. Developing your own system helps when you want to find a certain chat log after some time has passed. My system consists of me naming the file with the date and a tidbit of information as to what the main RP it contains.

    For example, the file called January9-2010-1 Gwynnithe Upset has RP that occurred on January 9th, and the main RP in which I was involved consisted of when Gwynnithe was upset. Later in the day, I had to restart NWN2 for whatever reason, and I have another file called January9-2010-2 Drinking with Dom. These files and others are saved in the appropriate January 2010 subfolder in the Chat Logs folder I mentioned earlier.

    My system may work for you, or you may think I'm a too-organized nerd (it's true) with too much time on her hands. But at any rate... that's how to log chat!
    Since I do have chat logs of our conversation IG, let me know what you want and I'll PM it to you.
