Hello, I would like to know if its possible to export all text players in game type to a text document?
Like a log of the players chat text?
If so how would I go about doing this?
also if this is possible, could I do it so that the log is emailed to me or uploaded to a website or something like a database of player text?
Why I ask is for a side project I have made a AI that talks to players when they ask it questions,
However it doesn't always know what the player is talking about and if I had a list of frequently asked questions and terms players typed I could add those to the AI so that it would "learn" in a way.
Also it would be useful to know if I made an MMO in the future.
I'm sure others would also benefit from reading your answers and learning to do so as well. :)
Thank you for your time,
Bloodocean7.
Thanks! I added that var and then made it so when players use the talk verb it exports their text via the << operator to the file and It works like a charm! :)
That will be very helpful. :) and I guess if a database is possible, like if someone else hosts the game on another computer and I still get the chat log on my computer, I would like to do that. Do you know of a library or tutorial that would get me started on that? Thanks again! Bloodocean7 | |
Here are developer resources and Nadrew's post on MySQL.

Once you have created the variable for the log, like above, you must output text to the log file. To output the text just use the << operator as you would when sending a message to the world. You can create a database with the native MySQL system that was added awhile ago. There's documentation and libraries all around the website.
