minetest CSM which records sent and received messages in the minetest log file.

requirements

tested with minetest 0.4.17 and 5.0 through 5.3-dev-ee831ed6e.

only basic CSM need be enabled in 5.0, which is the default.

installation

make sure the mod is installed at ~/.minetest/clientmods/chatlog

make sure ~/.minetest/clientmods/mods.conf exists and contains:

load_mod_chatlog = true

logs will show up in ~/.minetest/debug.txt

if you use another CSM that handles the printing of chat messages e.g. friendly_chat or chat_highlights, you may have to put an entry like

chatlog?

into that other mod's depends.txt file.
