NWN Logging tip

[Silentus]

Many people know this handy little setting to enable logging of all the chat content to <NWN>LOGS\NWCLIENTLOG1.TXT
.....Modify the NWPLAYER.INI:
...........[Game Options]
...........ClientChatLogging=1

Many people do not know how to keep it for more than one game session without being overwritten. Here is a little batch file I wrote that will automatically attach you to Makzimia and will append the log file to a new running log called NEFULLLOG.TXT. Note you must use this batch file to start your NWN session or that append will not happen though. Also be sure to change the path to your games path.

C:\Games\NeverwinterNights\Nwmain.exe +connect 68.7.190.222:5123
cd logs
if not exist nwfulllog.txt ren nwclientlog1.txt nwfulllog.txt
copy nwfulllog.txt + nwclientlog1.txt nwlogtemp
del nwfulllog.txt /Q
del nwclientlog1.txt /Q
ren nwlogtemp nwfulllog.txt

Hope this is useful to some of you

Thanks, I was too lazy to look this up myself.

I look forward to trying this, should make remembering things easier, especially if I learn to talk to myself while exploring. (I've been here so long I know where a lot of places are, it's only remembering how to get there.)

Occasionally I do a little RP with an NPC when no one else is around. Or when Vugor goes to Mysaides grave and chats for a while - again for no one elses sake....

I dont know whether that means Im a good role player, an increadible geek, or just plain pschizophrenic

In any event, that little batch file works - I wrote it months ago and it is what Silentus uses to gather histories. I dont ever worry about making sure to get the file right away, and Ive not lost one yet Just make sure to remember to modify the path to meet your games install though.
