TOPIC: [SSRP Suggestion] Damage logs -.-

Server Name: SSRP 1 & 2.

Suggestion Title: Damage logs.

How would it benefit the server: It would help the Staff and the players a lot, so people can't lie about "He shot me first", blablabla..

Potential Issues/Exploits: Might lag the server a bit, because of the files. Otherwise, none i'm pretty sure.

Additional notes: People need this. Always when i equip a special weapon or something expensive, i get shot in the head. JUST because people want other people to lose their special weapons. I'm not really crying about losing a Thundergun or something, but for real. I'm just pissed when i get shot in the head (RDM) and then they are lying in the sit, saying "He shot me first in the chest" for example. I think we all need this, and people would be able to finish F1's and such a way easier.

I hope this gets accepted, because we really need this.
Some staff told me that there's no point, because it might get denied, as usual. But i give it another try, and i hope.

Thanks,

Think about it this way back when i was staff and ZARP changed to their Old New Host EMP said he had to transfer over something like 70k worth of Logs maybe more who know's, And think of how much there is in total and adding a Constant log of people shooting each other into the mix ( anything you say / Command you do is Logged Every Kill / Death is Logged, You switching Jobs > Logged, Bans, Kicks Etc ) it would end up taking EMP, Chute more time to Switch hosts if they ever need to in the future and would upset the player base that the server isn't up ETC

So imo don't see this being added any time soon for a server that gets around 50+ players a day

Yes, I was speaking to a user about this as you know Ezehzz and this is what I meant by it would cause problems it would near to be impossible to keep track of everything with such a big server unless there was a way around this, otherwise I couldn't see it working.

I believe the logs have some sort of limit and having damage logs would fill the logs far too much, making the staff not being able to find out if someone was RDAed, RDMed etc.

Would help the players though :c

While damage logs might help staff and players deal with situations more effectively, as others have already pointed out the logs would be too large for any staff member to sift through and pull out the information they need. Kill logs do a good enough job and are a much more reasonable feature to have on a DarkRP server.

If SSRP could have damage logs without a lot of problems they probably would have kept it. Yes, it helps out the players and dealing with sits but it is a cause of lag because at peak times with 50 people on tracking all the damage done at once and storing it may have a big stress on the server and thus causing some lag. As well as having to store all this will take a lot of storage space , but i do see where you are coming from with this.

It would cause lag

When this was last suggested I remember somebody saying it could cause lag. Which is true as useful as this would be its really on useful on smaller servers such as a 20 slot server

Just saw Walter Whites post. Sorry lad haha

Maybe if its only saved temporarily? Something like it gets damage logs for every 10-15 minutes and then its deleted and a fresh one is created.It would work best on server 2 without causing much lag.

As for the clogging up the logs issue , you could have the damage logs on a seperate tab which would clear that up.

Just find a better damage logs that doesnt cause so much lag

No matter which damage logs we get, there is a vast amount of people that play on ZARP everyday, and logging all that would be a large strain on the server. I don't feel that we need these because we have got by for a long time with the same damage logs and had little issues. Damage logs would be a waste of server time and resources. I just believe that we don't need it.

Its either the host or the map caussing lag that cant be handeled by many players, which ever one it is, replace it.
