YWard Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) One of the things mostly missed from SAMP here, is easily editing screenshots with text to reflect active roleplay. GT-MP offers extensive chatlogs actually, the problem is most people don't know where to find them and how to extract the chat from the technical logs file that has plenty of other data, not just the chat. In this guide I'll be covering how to extract the chatlogs from GT-MP logs and how to use it for your screenshot editing using SAMP tools (I won't share links as those programs were made for other communities) Steps: Download GT-MP Chat-parser from here:https://github.com/charlw/GT-MP-Chatlog-Extractor/releases/download/v1.0/GT-MP.Chatlog.Extractor.rar Alternative link: https://mega.nz/#!s2Jx2RhK!blBTB6OZhCdkKOxR1_Oe2AKN5l3wHtrNoZl_Nr-T07k Extract the files inside the your chatlogs folder, the chat logs folder can be found in YOUR-GTMP-DIRECTORY/logs Note: default directory is C:/Grand Theft Multiplayer/ Logs folder before extracting the files: Logs folder after extracting the rar: Among the extracted files, you'll find a file named GT-MP Chatlog Extractor.exe, that's the chat extractor, it has no Graphical interface, it works automatically. To extract the chat from a GT-MP log file, i.e. GT-MP-2017-10-15.log, simply make sure that the extractor and the log are in the same folder, and run GT-MP Chatlog Extractor.exe as shown in the picture above. Run the GT-MP Chatlog Extractor.exe and it'll automatically generate txt files with the chatlog as shown here: That's it! Use the chat from those log with your favourite SAMP screenshot editing software! FAQ: -Help! My generated logs are blank. You've disabled the logging from GT-MP settings, pause while in-game and head to settings>Performance and make sure logging isn't disabled. -An error message pops up or software doesn't run. Either you have no logs in the same folder as extractor OR you've deleted one of the files needed for the chatlog extractor to run. Edited October 22, 2017 by JoeWarner Link to comment
Iosif Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Yo. Log extractor won't extract. Link to comment
YWard Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 @Iosif Can you tell me what step you stop at? Link to comment
Iosif Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 @JoeWarner I download the extractor and try to extract it. Both to the GTMP folder and to it's own folder. It won't extract. I used UniExtract, 7zip and Winrar and they all failed. They reported the rar was either damaged or that the extraction simply failed. Link to comment
YWard Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 then redownlaod the rar, this means your download was damaged. Link to comment
Chef Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I can concur Iosif's statement. I downloaded, tried to extract, was told there were no files or that they were damaged. I re-downloaded twice to no avail. Link to comment
YWard Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 I'll reupload somewhere, one moment Link to comment
YWard Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) @Chef @Iosif I reuploaded the software here: https://mega.nz/#!s2Jx2RhK!blBTB6OZhCdkKOxR1_Oe2AKN5l3wHtrNoZl_Nr-T07k Edited October 17, 2017 by JoeWarner Link to comment
Iosif Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Just so you know I redownloaded that zip 3 times before posting here. That Mega link works perfectly though. Link to comment
