Minecraft server I think. Fairly sure there's always chat even if you use the vanilla server.

Man, I corrected that shit. I blame Android.

<?
 
$things = file('server.log');
$chats = Array();
 
foreach ($things as $thing) {
	if (strpos($thing, "[INFO] <")) {
		$chats[] = "[" . substr($thing, 11, 5) . "]" . htmlspecialchars(substr($thing, 27));
	} else if (strpos($thing, "[dynmap]")) {
		$thing = str_replace(": ?", ": ", $thing);
		$chats[] = "[" . substr($thing, 11, 5) . "]" . htmlspecialchars(substr($thing, 37));
	}
}
 
$chatt = implode("<br />", array_slice($chats, -30));
echo $chatt;
 
?>

I dunno if those question marks are really there or just an artefact of pasting? If they're not really there the character counts might be out. If they are, then if someone really says ": ?" via the web interface it'll be filtered out (because it's going to be so rare that I can't be arsed to code around it).

That aside, that should work. If you want seconds on the timestamps change those two instances of 11, 5 to 11, 8

That'd be much neater with some regex but ... fuck regex :Y

:D Thanks!

 

The ? are because of pasting, there's some colour formatting from dynmap to make it green.

What character's really there?

I've got rid of them now but it was "§"

Show me exactly how the log looks (unless you've adjusted it already to work).

I've adjusted it to work but it looks like this for dynmap entries...

2011-08-04 22:09:49 [INFO] [dynmap] §2[WEB] 86.154.231.70: §fwhie I'm stuck in work

Aight cool (hug)

The dynmap messages are still disappearing too quick - have you changed the delay yet?

I last used PHP about 90 years ago, and I barely had a clue what I was doing then.

What's the no clouds thing you use?

Just a texture pack with a transparent texture for clouds. I'll attach it.

If you add this before the closing brace of the foreach statement, it should show when people join and leave, which is probably handy?

	else if ( strpos($this,"logged in") )
	{
		$time = "[" . substr($thing, 11, 5) . "]";
		$person = preg_match( '/(?<=\[INFO\] )\S+/' , $thing );
		$chats[] = $time.' <i>Joined:</i> <b>'.htmlspecialchars($person).'</b>';
	}
	else if ( strpos($thing,"lost connection") )
	{
		$time = "[" . substr($thing, 11, 5) . "]";
		$person = preg_match( '/(?<=\[INFO\] )\S+/' , $thing );
		$reason = substr(strrchr($thing, '.'), 1);
		$chats[] = $time.' <i>Disconnected:</i> <b>'.htmlspecialchars($person).'</b> ('.$reason.')';
	}

The stupid download doesn't seem to want to finish. :(

 

Gets to 484 of 507 KB and just stops.

 

That was Firefox, but Chrome is doing same. "506/507 kB, 0 secs left".

 

If I copy and rename the file I can't extract the zip because it's corrupt, because it's got a stupid kilobyte missing. :@

Yeah but I haven't reloaded the plugin yet because it requires a server restart and there was lots of busy people on last night.

The dynmap time for displaying chat is up to 20 secs now.

Or maybe it's actually 15 seconds, that is possibly a max since I've set it at 20 and 25 and it's still gone after 15.

It was suggested that I construct the Forbidden City. I did some research to find out how big it is, collect some maps and photos, etc.

 

It is 750m wide and 960m long.

 

The moat is 52m wide and 6m deep.

 

The walls are 10m high, 8.6m thick at the base and 6.7m thick at the top.

 

It has OVER NINE THOUSAND rooms.

 

This is going to take a long time, and will require a lot of red wool.

 

edit:
Here's a couple of sections of map showing the kind of scale we'd be talking about, assuming 1px = 1m:

I suppose we can be grateful none of its buildings are particularly tall :&
