Chat Logger [ ChaosBlast777 ]
« on: September 11, 2013, 03:31:09 AM »
So to reiterate what everyone that else is saying, I am amazed at how awesome this bot is and how easy it makes the streamers life.  Seriously man, top notch work on your programming.  I'm having a ton of trouble coming up with features that you didn't implement!

One thing I thought of today after we were chatting is a neat feature that could be helpful.  In some cases, I find it very helpful to have chat logs that I can go back and read from the stream that day.  It would be AWESOME if you could figure out a way of implementing this, especially since you can't on twitch.  What I envision is just having your bot copy the chat logs into a text file so if I wanted to go read chat from a certain day I could find the logs from that day, open them up, and start reading!  This is especially helpful if there is a crash for some reason and there are raffle tickets that need to be refunded.

In any case, this functionality is obviously above and beyond what I need on a day to day basis from a bot - at this point it is just adding bells and whistles to an already amazing piece of software.  Thanks again for letting me beta test!

+1 this is a great request imo.

I often find myself working back through IRC logs to find information and for people that don't use IRC for their Twitch this could be a great little tool.

Along with that would obviously come a "Time Stamp" which I was going to request be put in the Chat tab. But this chat log would obviously cover that part of my request so GG :P
Cheers all.

First and foremost, thanks for the feedback. Great to hear you are liking what you see.

As for the request, I completely agree with the need and have been working on this. It will be delivered along with another functionality that allows users to chat as the streamer through the bot completely removing the need to be logged into chrome/irc

Although saving chat down to a text file sounds like an extremely easy thing to do, the way chat is currently designed does pose a technical challenge to do this efficiently.

Nevertheless it is something that will reach you sooner rather than later.
