How can i do a log in my server with dini?? I want to print in a file the status changes of my server like when players connect and disconnect or when I shut down the server or start it.

Don't use dini, very outdated and slow. It's also not created to take on tasks like these. This is where the default file functions are perfect

pawn Код:

// top of script
#define LOG_FILE   "log.txt"

public OnPlayerConnect( playerid )
{
   new File: hFile = fopen( LOG_FILE, io_append );
   if( hFile )
   {
      new str[ MAX_PLAYER_NAME + 15 ], name[ MAX_PLAYER_NAME ];
      GetPlayerName( playerid, name, MAX_PLAYER_NAME );
      format( str, sizeof( str ), "%s has connected.", name );
      fwrite( hFile, str );
   }
   fclose( hFile );
   return 1;
}

You can simply repeat that process for different things.

Thanks!!! But i don't need to insert /n for a new line

Yes you need it. And here's a nice log function (made by me

pawn Код:

stock AddLog(filename[], log[]) //Usage: AddLog(Name_Of_File, Log_Content (string or something);
{
    new day, month, year, hour, minute, second;
    new str[200], File:_lfile;
    getdate(year, month, day); gettime(hour, minute, second);
   
    format(str, 200, "[%02d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d] %s\r\n", day, month, year, hour, minute, second, log);
    _lfile = fopen(filename, io_append);
    fwrite(_lfile, str);
    fclose(_lfile);
    return 1;
}

Example:

[code]
AddLog("LOG.txt", "Hi there!");
If that's used on 01-01-2011 (DAY-MONTH-YEAR) and time 0:0:0,
in the file "scriptfiles/LOG.txt" there will be a new line: [01-01-2011 00:00:00] Hi there!
When you use it 2 seconds later again, the file will look like this:

[01-01-2011 00:00:00] Hi there!
[01-01-2011 00:00:02] Hi there!

Got it? It gives automatic date+time. And the new line is automatic too.

This is a nice script thank you!!!!

That contains a severe amount of redundant code, you should consider just using Unix Timestamps and converting them to normal date/time strings when you absolutely must.

How to get Unix Timestamp? I know what it is etc (right now it's 1294199340)
