Logs!

[Willdy]

Right, I have two points to bring to attention!


Firstly, this is a bug I noticed several months ago, the server log is generated, but at midnight of that day it is reset to 1kb and goes almost blank.

Secondly, a small argument happened on my server where someone claimed to say something but some people said they never said it, and others said they did. After checking the server logs - it was concluded they didn't say it. Upon checking a screenshot, they said it. What??

On the first part -- does this happen every night or only some nights? And you mean at midnight the log of the previous day goes blank, right?

On the second part -- I'd trust the logs over a screenshot.

Not completely blank, I will post one of the past logs tomorrow. I recently deleted them all and I want to see if that fixes the bug or not. These bugs aren't with the latest update. I haven't updated yet due to bugs with 'ulx addons'.

Thanks Megiddo

Interesting. It looks like your system clock jumped back to the previous day, so it thought it was a new day. Have you noticed any problems with your system clock?

Regardless of that, I don't think this would be too painful to fix; I just have to check that the system isn't trying to travel back a day.

Try replacing your ulx\lua\ulx\log.lua file with the log.lua file attached to this post and let us know how it goes.
