dedicated server records the logs in a mysql database

[jrgp]

Wouldn't it be alot easier if the soldat dedicated server just put all of it's logs in a mysql database instead of those many, many text-files.

Then the php stats programs like zitro and u13sss could just read directly from the mysql db instead of having to parse the text-files.

so what do you think?

That would require the host to have a mysql server up and running. Not to speak of all those that wouldn't understand why their server isn't logging anything.

Don't fix what isn't broken I guess.

I agree with denacke.

Most of the data from the logs goes to the admin console, including kill data (look at the changelogs for version 2.5.0 and 2.5.1 of the server).

Someone can very easily write a program that connects to a soldat server's admin connection, and takes all data from that and puts it into a mysql database.  I (or any other FApps enthusiasts) would probably be glad to make this if someone explained a good purpose it'd have

edit: now would also be a convenient time to tell you to read the signature rules regarding userbars
