GTA World Chat Log Assistant Explained


Recommended Posts

NOTE: Following the recent RageMP Update (6/FEB/2022), the application below won't auto-save your chatlogs. Open it, click parse, and save it yourself in the interim.

 

NOTE #2: Use Adv's edit of the chatlog assistant due to EAC limitations. Find it here: https://github.com/AdvGTAW/GTAW-Log-Parser/releases

GTA World Chat Log Assistant Explained


Thanks to @Maple, extracting our chatlogs, despite it not being presently supported by RageMP, is possible. Some might find the application he made complicated to use, but fear none, I’ll explain how to download and use all features of it below. You can also check out the feature showcase section for more in-depth information.


 

Follow the steps below to get the application:

1.      Download it from Maple’s github: https://github.com/MapleToo/GTAW-Log-Parser/releases

2.      Select ’’GTAWAssistant.exe” as seen below on the picture and it’ll start downloading.

3.       Compare the output of the command found below to the contents of the .SHA256 file from the download page. You can use a separate program for that, or just compare them side by side in a notepad if you wish. This is to verify that the file was downloaded correctly and didn't get corrupted / tampered with during the process.:

 

certutil -hashfile <file> sha256

4.      Run the .exe and you should see this:

5.      Click on ’’BROWSE” and navigate to your RageMP directory. It’s essential, because that’s how the application can access your chatlog.

 

 

That’s about downloading and launching it for the first time. I highly recommend that you add ths application to the other apps launching along with Windows (or Linux/MacOS/whatever), such as for example steam, so you don’t have to to open it every time you want to go in-game It’s not a resource hungry thing, it barely eats any ram (if any at all).

 

There’s several dropdown menus you can pick from:

 

1.      Check For Updates — You can check whether there’s an update available on Github for the parser. Please do note that the user is responsible for downloading any updates, the application itself isn’t designed to do any sort of auto-updating.

2.      Automatic Backup Settings — There’s many other settings you can modify here, mostly to your personal preference. Every option is pretty self-explanatory. See my settings below:

3.      Filter Chat LogThis is where you can filter your chatlog itself. You can remove advertisements, OOC chat, emotes and whatnot all to your preference. You can even load old saved chatlogs and filter those, to your personal needs.

4.      About This is where you can check which version you’re running currently and some other technical data.

 

The page in the middle can be used to quickly parse your current session’s chatlog, save it or copy it to your clipboard as seen down below:

In the bottom left corner, you can tick and untick two options, again: based on your personal preference:

 

        image.png.fafa5624cf398cdfc81690ce055081ff.png 

 

I like timestamps, so I unticked the ’’Remove timestamps” option, but ticked the other one so I’m aware of any possible cool updates.

 

In the right top corner, there's a few more options available. By clicking the gear icon, you can access the following page:

Yet again, use your personal preference and play around with these to customize the parser the best you can!
 


 PARSER MINI


 

Parser Mini is basically the minimalist version of GTA World Chat Log Assistant. You can parse, save and copy your current session’s chatlog, nothing less and nothing more. It’s intended to be easy to use and not so advanced.

In order to download and use, visit Maple’s github, and download ’’ParserMini.exe”, then simply launch it and navigate to your RageMP folder.

That's about it. Have fun!

My chatlog automatic backup always saves over the same file.

 

So it started in June 3 and all files save over that one. How to fix?

 

UPDATE:

It always saves on this file. 

 

I've had that happen to me, with the same date actually. I fixed it by re-downloading the most recent version (whatever's in the link) and re-installed it. It worked ever since.

I shall try, thank you!

 

UPDATE: Seemed to work, everytime I close my GTA now, a new text folder appears. Thanks!
