Salem

I think I've mentioned this before or saw it come up, but not finding anything related through search...

I think it'd be simple enough for someone to shoehorn into a client... maybe not. It would be useful for those wanting to post logs and not have to post multiple screenshots of a conversation (and try to edit out any words the forum would normally censor for those with the filter on).

Logging would, of course, work by session, both log-in session and different windows: local,town, private messages, etc. each getting their own file and maybe in a different folder for each day.

This comes as much from me liking to log all my "funny" convos to just some practicality from a moderator viewpoint, too, as well as a forum reader. Plus, Google doesn't do so well at indexing those images, but all that fun chat time could be saved for posterity for all time to come (or at least the end of the world as we know it).

(note: if it already in one of the modded clients, I haven't noticed it, but then I don't always pay attention to some of those "extra features".)

Latikai client does this, unless you need it to do something different than it already does? I've never used the feature, but it's there

If you use Lat's the logs are in C:\Users\[user]\Salem\logs

They should add bears to the game. Derp derp.

Good to know magic doesn't actually play the game. Only comes on to "moderate".

Can we also get swords added to the game?

That would be ***** great, I can't wait until I can hunt bears!!

No, swords would be over powered and stupid.

in all fairness, it's disabled by default
But yes, I implemented it for exactly those reasons, magic

no, i just don't use the custom clients much and totally missed that. I will say I haven't played the last few months at all because I was working like a dog for a while and did nothing but sleep when i came home. i could barely even get myself to log into EVE.

So guess this is more of a "Why don't you people post text logs from the client instead of taking screenshots of everything?"

to note, another reason i quit playing so much was the addition of all those damn timers. It's frustrating to be wandering around with a pack full of food you can't eat and inspriationals you can only use the next day. no, I never have been an end-game player in Salem or Haven and never expect to be. I keep that level of competition for cards and strategy games that involve planning only, not twitch gaming. i just can't deal with that kind of stress. (it's why i'm not a restauranteur.)

edit: still, put it in the main client!!!

well, for one, chat logs are much easier to fake than screenshots. The ones I save are simple text files with the names of people involved and the things they are saying...
