Nova's Server Logging

This addon will log several types of events to your garrysmod/data folder

Each log file is named by the date.

Inside of garrysmod/data/n_server_logs you will find 3 folders named 'chatlogs', 'damagelogs', and 'entitylogs'

Chatlogs log chat messages, players leaving, and players joining.

Damagelogs log when entities take damage, and when players die.

Entitylogs log when entities are created, and removed.


Examples of what the logs look like:

Chatlogs:
06:54:09PM Log Start
06:54:09PM Nova Astral Joined the server from [IP]
06:54:35PM Nova Astral: Hello!

Damagelogs:
07:13:41PM Log Start

Entitylogs:

07:15:18PM Entity [78][sent_ball] owned by Nova Astral was removed at 553.637512 51.001835 -9289.944336

Damage logs will not show the correct weapon if the damage inflictor was a projectile and the person who fired the weapon either died or switched weapons.

!!!WARNING!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These logs do not automatically delete themselves, therefore you should make sure you either have a big enough space, or purge / back them up them regularly.

The Entity Logs are generally the largest of them all, I've seen them get over 1GB per log file
