XIVLogger

NOTE: Logs are saved from when this plugin is activated

Very much a work in progress plugin for XIVQuickLauncher.

A simple chat log plugin that logs chat messages from when the plugin is turned on, and then dumps it to a text file in your documents at a press of a button. Now supports copying!

Primarily intended for saving roleplay logs.

Supports saving the following chat types at the moment:

Say, Shout, Yell, Party/CrossParty, Alliance, Tells, Emotes (Custom, Standard), Cross World Linkshells 1 - 8, Linkshells 1 - 8, PVP Team, Novice Network, Free Company

Commands

• /xivlogger to bring up settings plus save log button

• /savelog to save the log from when the plugin is activated

  • /savelog <n> to save the last <n> messages, example: /savelog 2

• /copylog to copy the log from when the plugin is activated

  • /copylog <n> to copy the last <n> messages, example: /copylog 2

To Do

• Actual documentation and help text
• Slash commands some commands exist now
• Specify a filepath to save to, instead of assuming a Documents folder exists
• Specify names for text files
• Turning on and off categories of chat texts, like all linkshells
• Saving combinations of different chat types and naming them?
  • Allow this to be used with the slash command, to quickly save logs based on differen combinations
  • I'd love a way to save logs based on chat tab configurations, but this seems much easier said than done
• Do the chat settings actually persist?
• Timestamps
  • Adding commands to save all messages from a specified time
• Adding commands to save the last n amount of messages
• Load chat log into copy and paste?
• Name replacer, specify a character and a name to replace
• Consolidate slash commands into a single slash command with multiple arguments, like /xivlogger savelog 2 to save the last 2 messages
• Automated logging, save log every n minutes, and on exit
