new log

[Hugos]

A question arose... is it possible to write a function in the resource that would create a new log file, set a specific name for it? (well, to be able to record this log some events)

Wrong category.

About function, here's my function which i've created for custom logs system. First version which could be improved and it should be improved (in my final ver, i've added buffer to reduce usage of file functions.)

local function logEvent(file, text)
	local file_exists = fileExists("logs/"..file)
	local real_time = getRealTime()
	local year = real_time.year + 1900
	local month = real_time.month < 10 and "0"..real_time.month + 1 or real_time.month + 1
	local month_day = real_time.monthday < 10 and "0"..real_time.monthday or real_time.monthday
	local hour = real_time.hour < 10 and "0"..real_time.hour or real_time.hour
	local minute = real_time.minute < 10 and "0"..real_time.minute or real_time.minute
	local second = real_time.second < 10 and "0"..real_time.second or real_time.second
	if file_exists then
		local log_file = fileOpen("logs/"..file)
		if log_file then
			fileSetPos(log_file, fileGetSize(log_file))
			fileWrite(log_file, "\r\n["..year.."-"..month.."-"..month_day.." "..hour..":"..minute..":"..second.."] "..text)
			fileFlush(log_file)
			fileClose(log_file)
		else
			outputDebugString("Couldn't open log file.", 0, 255, 127, 0)
			return false
		end
	else
		local new_log = fileCreate("logs/"..file)
		if new_log then
			outputDebugString(file.." log file created successfully.", 0, 255, 127, 0)
			fileWrite(new_log, "["..year.."-"..month.."-"..month_day.." "..hour..":"..minute..":"..second.."] Log file created successfully.")
			if text then
				fileSetPos(new_log, fileGetSize(new_log))
				fileWrite(new_log, "\r\n["..year.."-"..month.."-"..month_day.." "..hour..":"..minute..":"..second.."] "..text)
			end
			fileFlush(new_log)
			fileClose(new_log)
		else
			outputDebugString("Couldn't create new log file.", 0, 255, 127, 0)
			return false
		end	
	end
end

Usage:

logEvent("path_to_file.txt", "Text you want to save")

Warning: As of 1.5.4 r10413, this function will fail when trying to access a script file of another resource, even with general.ModifyOtherObjects rights granted, which uses a mysql connection through dbConnect when database_credentials_protection is enabled in the server configuration. Additionally, meta.xml will be un-writable and will always open in read-only mode.

I will need to edit a file that is in another resource. But how do I do this in version 1.5.4 r10413+?

Are you trying to edit script file or text file? This matters.

 text file.

• filePath: The filepath of the file in the following format: ":resourceName/path". 'resourceName' is the name of the resource the file is in, and 'path' is the path from the root directory of the resource to the file.

For example, if there is a file named 'coolObjects.txt' in the resource 'objectSearch', it can be opened from another resource this way: fileOpen(":objectSearch/coolObjects.txt").

If the file is in the current resource, only the file path is necessary, e.g. fileOpen("coolObjects.txt").

I just don 't understand if this argument can be used in the new version?

Check:

If you need to edit something out of resource folder.

Example:

fileOpen(":resource_2/file_2.txt")

Thanks... And the question is, can you create a file in the logs package, not in the resource itself?

Honestly, i don't know.

Never tried. But according to this, this could be done for database.
