Write to Character Log File

[greeneyes137]

Is there a way to write directly to a Character's Log or logs file?

I was thinking a work around for a problem I'm having would be a custom channel but if I could bypass that and just write to the file it would be easier.

I'd like to write/code something so that it's written to the file and then ACT parses it.

You can't write specifically to that file; however, you could write to a custom named file with ISXEQ2/InnerSpace.

You could 'fake' writing to that file by joining a custom channel and then talking to that channel while "logging". You CAN issue commands to talk to a channel with ISXEQ2.

Anyway, unless there's a way to do it in the game, there isn't a way to do it with isxeq2.

i was thinking i could simply create a channel, give it a password, and say make a channel mychannel, /setchannelnumber 500 then eq2execute /500 Awsome Power then i could watch act on that..

alternatively write to a 2nd log file like you suggested and run two copies of act.
the act with two files is annoying because 2 copies of act and manually opening two files.

the own channel solution is concerning as well

do you suggest one over the other?

eq2echo works swimmingly for this, I use it all the time, for exactly this purpose.

Now, eq2echo is evil. It has risks.

But it's certainly less risky than relaying your status text through a private server chat channel...
