I don't think it's logged, I think is just temporary until you leave the server.

I don't think it's logged, I think is just temporary until you leave the server.

Actually, its saved until you quit out of MTA.

So if you click on 'Quit' in the Main Menu, then it deletes from there on.

even if it will be removed.. i need where is that file place ?

[Jaysds1]

well, I'm not sure where it would be

you could try looking in your MTA Folder: 'MTA San Andreas 1.x\MTA'

nope..didn't find anything like that..and i tried to search for it when i am in mta and out of it.. same

I guess it's saved nowhere. If the server where you want to save chat history is yours then you can make a script to save it.

Use my function that I made for one of the Neo Playgrounds' gamemodes:

-- output to log, returns: boolean - true if saved successfully, false otherwise 
function outputLog( sz ) 
    if( not sz ) then return false end 
    if( not type( sz ) == "string" ) then return false end 
    local pLogFile = fileOpen( "log/server.log", false ) 
    if( pLogFile ) then 
        local aTime = getRealTime( ) 
        local szCurrentTime = "[" .. aTime.month + 1 .. "/" .. aTime.monthday .. "/" .. aTime.year .. " " .. aTime.hour .. ":" .. aTime.minute .. ":" .. aTime.second .. "]" 
        if( fileWrite( pLogFile, szCurrentTime .. " " .. sz ) ) then 
            return true 
        end 
        fileClose( pLogFile ) 
    end 
    return false 
end 
  

With onPlayerChat event.
