Like CODE, it'll keep things aligned correctly with monospaced characters and preserve whitespace, so you can include ASCII art.
Unlike CODE, LOG won't put things in a box with green text, and BBcodes will work inside of it, allowing the use of colors!

So! How to make pretty logs like this for the forums?
If your client can save raw log files, there's a handy converter called Ansifilter, which can convert raw ANSI codes like muds use to bbcode!
So first, you'll likely want to use a color map with it. Here's mine, but you can adjust the colors to how you like them:
Code: Select all
0 = #666666 -- black
1 = #990000 -- red
2 = #00A600 -- green
3 = #D9A000 -- yellow
4 = #00006F -- blue
5 = #B200B2 -- magenta
6 = #00A6B2 -- cyan
7 = #BFBFBF -- white
8 = #666666 -- grey
9 = #E50000 -- bright red
10 = #00D900 -- bright green
11 = #E5E500 -- bright yellow
12 = #0000FF -- bright blue
13 = #E500E5 -- bright magenta
14 = #00E5E5 -- bright cyan
15 = #FFFFFF -- bright white
For Mac users, here's a script I wrote that allows you to copy a part of the raw log, and it'll convert it and clean it up for immediate pasting into the forums.
Some of its features:
- It deletes all plain white color codes. the LOG bbcode sets the default to white, so they're not needed, and removing them considerably cuts down the characters needed.
It also erases color codes that don't actually color anything.
it filters out OOC and visnet channels, as well as Merchants and Physicians (others can be added)
It filters out things I tend to spam a lot, like score, the rumor list, who list, where list, and others.
To use, paste the following into Script Editor (Found in the Utilities folder), set the colormap variable to the path to your colormap file, open up BBEdit, copy the part of the raw log you'd like to use, then click the "Run" button (
) in Script Editor. The log should then be ready to be pasted to the forums inside a LOG bbcode.
Code: Select all
set colormap to "/path/to/colormap.txt" -- change this to the path to your colormap.txt file.
tell application "BBEdit"
set the clipboard to (replace "^\\r(.+)" using "\\1" searchingString (the clipboard) options {search mode:grep}) -- Strip leading carraige returns if line isn't empty. May not be needed depending on logfile. If lines clump together, try disabling. If single spaced lines become double-spaced, keep enabled.
set the clipboard to (replace "\\[0;37m(.*)\\[0m$" using ">\\1" searchingString (the clipboard) options {search mode:grep}) -- mark input lines with leading >
do shell script "[[ $__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING =~ ^(.*):(.*):(.*)$ ]] && rgn=${BASH_REMATCH[3]} || rgn=0;export LC_CTYPE=UTF-8;pbpaste | perl -CS -0777 -pe 's/\\r\\n|\\r/\\n/g' | pbcopy" -- fix linefeeds - gets current region code, sets text encoding to UTF-8, and converts CR/CRLF to LF UTF code. (May or may not be needed, depending on logfile.)
do shell script "pbpaste | /usr/local/bin/ansifilter -B -m " & colormap & " | pbcopy" -- Convert raw ANSI log in clipboard to BBcode.
set fixedtext to (the clipboard) as text -- Now that the log is converted to BBcode, filter it for content and prettiness.

To install, paste the script below into Notepad and save it to MUSHclient\worlds\plugins\Copy_BBcode.xml
It can be loaded from File:Plugins --> Add
It will look for ansifilter at MUSHclient\ansifilter\ansifilter.exe, and the colormap at MUSHclient\colormap.txt
Be sure to grab the latest ansifilter from http://www.andre-simon.de/zip/download.php and unzip it to MUSHclient\ansifilter
and copy/paste the colormap above into notepad and save it to MUSHclient\colormap.txt

It seems the output will be a bit messier than from a logfile, but it should be fine for quick snipplets!
Disclaimer: I don't use MUSHclient, so I can't guarantee it'll work perfectly.
