Since DayZ 1.24, emotes are logged to the admin log (*.adm). Example:
11:20:32 | [emote] SurvivorM_Taiki:0:INSTANCETYPE_SERVER play emote id=40 IH=null
This carries little to no useful information and just adds noise to the log. Please consider limiting these log entries to DIAG or maybe even DIAG_DEVELOPER.
Do an emote in-game.
Hello lava76.
This is enabled by running the -doactionlog parameter. If you remove it the server will no longer log emotes (and other detailed information)
That doesn't seem to be the case. I see emote logs even without that parameter. Or do you mean it has to be added so emote logs no longer happen? The call to the log doesn't seem to depend on anything else than -adminlog (I can see that versions prior to 1.24 indeed depended on LogManager.IsActionLogEnable, but that's no longer the case with 1.24)
Yes, you are correct. Emote logs are now enabled by default when running -adminlog. This is the current intended state but ofcourse, we could think about other possibilities if demand is high enough.
Hi- Intended or not, please DO NOT remove this! These guys above are not too imaginative when it comes to data ^^^ ;)
Just kidding.
I was trying to figure out what this line was in the logs and came across this page. In all seriousness, please do not remove this data. It gives us (those who programmatically read logs) an awesome way to *do* *things*
Please consider this a strong vote to KEEP this data in the logs.
In fact, why not add a coordinate to it? :)
Thank you :)
The old behavior (requiring -doactionlog parameter) was fine. It still hasn't the right format for admin log though, as the info provided is mostly useful for debugging, not administering a server. To make the log useful, it would need to include the name + ID of the player instead of the survivor classname (+ the position).
