ForOnlyOne Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 To my knowledge all installed chat sites on a pc save a chatlog of your conversations.. Were is this file saved for 3dxchat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyZA Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi OnlyOne As far as I know the chat feature in 3DX is far more rudimentary and does not log chats at all, neither client side or server side but I could be wrong on the server side. To the best of my knowledge there is no chat log saved, I have looked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanyatranny Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Which would explain why you have to screenshot abuse. If conversations were logged the devs could go through them when abuse is reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForOnlyOne Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Tanyatranny not good to hear, seems like a poor system for dealing with that . Thanks for letting me know guys I looked everywhere. MikeyZA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doll Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I fawt all chat was logged server side tbh...seems unlikely it wouldn't be these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyZA Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I fawt all chat was logged server side tbh...seems unlikely it wouldn't be these days I wish I could say that it was, however the developers would not require us to send screenshots if it was. Plus... some of the "chat" is not something you would honestly want logged, firstly due to privacy concerns and secondly because it is downright raunchy The chat functionality, if logged, would support near infinite scrollback per session like RLC does and would also support full copy/paste of text, so I am going to lean towards a no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doll Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hmm...you might be right Mikey. I too have heard some "raunchy" chat happens here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage Stoner Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I wish I could say that it was, however the developers would not require us to send screenshots if it was. Not sure I can agree with that logic. Back when there were "mods" (shudders) and SS were not required, there was occasionally talk of being able to go back and review server-side logs to confirm what statements had been made in chat. But that was before PMs and it might just have been bluff. Still, I suspect that there are server-side logs of local and world chat, at least, although the Devs probably don't want to be bothered with having to go through them. Hence the need for SS. As far as client-side logs are concerned, 3DX is not the only game I play in which the chat window is displayed as graphics rather than text. So, a log of the user input would be easy to implement, but a full log of input from others would be problematic, since it is not transmitted as text and would have to be converted locally. For those who just have to have a log of those "important" chats, I guess the best thing to do would be to make a video capture of your screen and then go back to transcribe manually if you really needed to save disk space.

MikeyZA Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Well Sage I can confirm that there are most definitely no logs at all and unfortunately it was a bluff. All the old mods used to keep screenshot folders of all the chats sent to them and used to keep their own as proof to use for perms-bans so while you can't agree or wrap your head around the logic, it is not logic but fact. The developers would not ask for screenshot evidence if it was a simple case of checking server logs. Yes it would be easy for them to do if they implemented the chat functionality properly but the lack of infinite scroll back, lack of text copy/paste and full support of BBcode text input tells me it is not a full fledged logged chat backend. Implementation is easy but theirs looks more like a simple plugin for unity than a proper chat backend and there is so much more they can do. Plus, a request from a friend was returned with a "please send screenshots showing the conversation or we can do nothing". That reply tells me without doubt there is no log. I could use the Fortinet hardware at my office to inspect a packet or two but I doubt I would find much. All the evidence points to no local or server side logging of chats at all.

Guest Skar Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I know Sage. I was such a horrible person. About the chatlog... did i sign a non disclosure agreement ? Mmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage Stoner Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I know Sage. I was such a horrible person. Actually, the time I was referring to was even before you were a mod, Skar. One of KitKat's favorite outbursts was that he was going to get Bran to check the logs. LOL Ah, the bad old days. Reminds me that I have been here exactly one year this month.
