EasyLogging++ usage for GDLE

Source: https://github.com/muflihun/easyloggingpp

Config File: GDLELogging.conf

• As defined will create new log file for Server info, Server error, Deaths, and Debug data
• Paths and file name can be modified as needed
• Needs to be in same folder as server exe file

For logging

• Server info (default file: server.log) SERVER_INFO << [data for info]; When adding variables use following format: SERVER_INFO << [data] << variable1; Logger will add spaces automatically between the [data] & variable in above example
• Server error (default file: error.log) SERVER_ERROR << [data for error] Variable usage same as SERVER_INFO
• Debug info (default file: debug.log) DEBUG_DATA << [debug data] Variable usage same as SERVER_INFO
• Deaths (default file: deaths.log) DEATH_LOG << [Message of player name] << ItemsDroppedText Variable usage same as SERVER_INFO

Any cpp file that will log to these logs will require an additional #include #include "easylogging++.h"

Example lines added:

• PhatAC.cpp: line 559 - SERVER_INFO << "Welcome to GDLEnhanced!";
• Server.cpp: line 366 - SERVER_INFO << "Bound to port" << port << "!";
• Player.cpp: line 642 - DEATH_LOG << DEATH_LOG << InqStringQuality(NAME_STRING, "") << "-" << text;
