CSB Chat Logger

Logs every say / say_team line with name, SteamID, team and time to a per-day file; amx_lastchat dumps recent lines.

CSB Chat Logger writes a permanent record of in-game chat for moderation. Every say and say_team line is captured with a timestamp, channel, team, player name and SteamID and appended to a per-day file (csb_chat_YYYY-MM-DD.log) with write_file(). The last 20 lines are also kept in memory so an admin can run amx_lastchat and read recent chat straight in their console without opening a file.

Features

• Hooks say and say_team without swallowing them — messages still reach normal chat.
• Per-day log file, one line per message: [HH:MM:SS] (ALL) TEAM Name <STEAM_ID>: text.
• amx_lastchat prints an in-memory ring buffer of the most recent 20 lines to the caller's console.
• Skips empty messages and / or ! command-style lines so the log is not polluted by other plugins' menus.
• csb_chatlog_tofile lets you keep only the in-memory buffer if you do not want files on disk.
