Mysql Logging

[m0oni9]

Right now, things just sort of get dumped to console/text file. With mysql logging, some messages would remain this way, but in addition categories can be created to log different things. For instance:

Player looting corpse
Player deaths
Items received by player
Items traded by player
etc.

Logging could be centralized on a single server in this case, and creating database queries to investigate situations would be manageable.

mysql loggin : do you mean loggin mysql activity (table access, read write ops, ...) or writting logs to a table in mysql instead of text files ? i understand it's second case, but wanted to make sure.

Yes, the second case: categorizing different activities, and logging them in a MySQL DB. Not a huge deal now, but if later on things will be logged this way, best to get started on the logging interface now. :wink:
