Server Logs

Mayhem

<div class="IPBDescription">Bug/Changes/Improvements</div> Heres a few changes I'd like to see added for 3rd party programs/stats. The logs as of now, never determine when a game is actually starting. Adding a line that says "the match has started" would be really useful for figuring out when things are getting started as opposed to guessing wether its just people sitting in the ready room. Another Point of interest is the marines. I'd like to see "changed role to Heavy" and "changed role to jetpack" added into the logs even if the game doesnt use these log lines. It'd be very useful for tracking stats. Another modification to the first comment would be " a tournament mode match has started" and "a public game has started". I know these things aren't the top priority for the dev team. But I do feel they would be very useful. If they find their way into 3.0 final release I would be very greatful.

sorry not trying to be mean but this is prob going to be locked and they are going to say "this is the bug forum not a 'i want a new feture' forum".

You would be assuming that the dev team wants to fix only bugs related to 3.0 This was just to remind them that they've overlooked some crucial logging. Stat programs and irc relayers would benefit from having the most information possible. These programs can of course ignore the information. But I feel logging for HA/JP's should be included. The other request is a "feature" but I dont think it hurts to ask for 1, maybe 2 lines of code to help out the community who participates in generating stats and logs games to irc channels. I hope the dev team considers this request a serious one. Thanks again.

Well actually, i'm going to move it, this IS NOT in the right place, please, read the rules for bug posting.
Stick things like this in the beta discussion area, its what its for.
