Log Administrator messages in some way

[Raventhon]

Currently the Announce To Table feature outputs chat to the table as Administrator: Message but that message is not saved in hand histories or table chat logs in any way. That should probably not be happening, right?

[Raventhon]

More specifically, we're post-processing the data and have inserted important accounting data in these admin messages and they're not being logged anywhere as far as we can tell.

Do you have "Save player chat" enabled in the Log Settings group?

Also, I assume you are referring to the "RingGamesMessage" and "TournamentsMessage" commands in the API, correct?

Yes, we save player chat and can search logs for player chat with no issues. And yes, I'm talking about RingGamesMessage and TournamentsMessage.

It's working for me. I've got "Save player chat" enabled in the Log Settings and I just ran this API command direct from my browser URL box:

http://127.0.0.1:8087/api?Password=x&Command=RingGamesMessage&Name=R1&Message=Test_Message

and when I go look in the server-side HandHistory file for HH2014-07-27 R1.text, I see the line:

Administrator: "Test_Message"

It appears to work for Ring Games but not Tournaments.

Yup, I should have tested that too. It appears I have the "save" flag turned off by mistake in the tournament call. I will fix that in the next update. Thanks.
