infinity-logger/First Steps In Using

How to use:

How do you use this plugin you may ask? The first thing you need to do is install the plugin, put in your plugins file, and start up your server to create a config.yml file. This will also create a Log1.yml file. Because its the last file that has been created, you can manually delete this before you restart. Now you need to modify the config file to tell the plugin what to and what not to log, and some other things. That is explained in the next section.

Modifying the config

There are 3 unique parts the config can be modified. the ChatFormat, Log[Blank], and ShowFilesNotFound. In this section we will go through all the different parts and what they do.

ChatFormat

This configures what the log will look like. The default is %type%: %name%:%uuid%:%ip%: %message%. This results in things such as:

[16:06:33] MOVE: RubbaBoy:946dba0a-1eee-489a-ab6d-516927fb2df7:127.0.0.1: Changed viewing direction from Pitch:-0.6000059 and Yaw:-197.03421 to Pitch:-0.6000059 and Yaw:-197.03421 players gamemode was CREATIVE player flying is false

%type% is replaced with the type of log it is. In this case it is MOVE, because the player moved.

%name% is replaced with simply the name of the player. This case it is RubbaBoy because RubbaBoy is the one who preformed the event of changing viewing direction (Moving head).

%uuid% is replaced with the player's UUID. In this case it is 946dba0a-1eee-489a-ab6d-516927fb2df7 because that is the player's UUID.

%ip% is replaced with the user's ip. This example was from a local hosted server, and because the localhost port is routed through 127.0.0.1 is that. If on port forwarded server it will show up with the player's public ip.

%message% is the message made from the user's action. This example is shown as Changed viewing direction from Pitch:-0.6000059 and Yaw:-197.03421 to Pitch:-0.6000059 and Yaw:-197.03421 players gamemode was CREATIVE player flying is false

You can remove/modify any of these in any order you please. They ARE caps sensitive, and you may add any extra characters as in the default (The :'s).

Log[Blank]

This is a simple true/false statement. Change each one to true if you want the item to be logged, or false if you do not want it to be logged. Its as simple as that! Reload your server each time you make changes to this, and do /ShowLogging in game to see what is/is not logging in game to decide if you want to log something or not in a snap!

ShowFilesNotFound

This is a /Logs specific variable. Set this to true if you want the plugin to show you the deleted/empty files while doing /Logs. If this is false, it will just skip over them.

Some Notes/Warnings

- Note: If you are going to use this on a server with several people on, it is highly recommended that you configure the plugin on a local hosted server, as InfinityLogger can make fairly large files in little time.

- NEVER delete ANY Log files made by this plugin manually unless you do it in chronological order, ex. you have logs 1-25, only delete 25 and below without skipping any, ex. 25 to 14. 1-13 have to be still in place in order of Log numbers.
