IPB and Pickit LogPath broken ???

[jkrolen5500]

The file that I am editing is called pickit-config.ini

not sure if that is correct or not but i change the logpath for example

logpath=d:\loghere


the bot still loggs the pickit.log in the same place.

Further more if i change logfile= then nothing changes either.

What am i doing wrong ?

 

[jkrolen5500]

Maybe I didn't make the first post clear ?

Say for example you have IPB in C:\Diablo II\IPB

You unzip everything there and run the bot from there. there is a file called pickit-config.ini which is the file you set the telekenisis radius and pickup radius.

There is also an option for logpath and logfile.

I tried using those options and putting logpath=c:\log in there
i also tried the following
logpath="c:\log"
logpath=c:\\log
logpath=C:\log
LogPath="C:\LOG"

none of these work. In every single case the file pickit.log is still written to C:\Diablo II\IPB

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? I don't think there is a way to edit or decompile the pickit.d2h so im not sure how pickit is trying to use this varaible or if thats what the variable is supposed to be.

I am trying to save the file to a samba drive. Running the file from the samba location doesnt work , there is too much latency.

My goal is to have swatch montior the log and email my phone if it finds a Unique LOL

Someone please find out how i can write the logpath variable correctly in the pickit-config.ini file! THanks!

UGH! I cant believe no one can answer this question out of everyone looking at this!

 

[ro0t]

Logpath=c:\log\
Logfile=c:\log\log.txt

ahahah thats raw!!!! why didnt i think of that sh!t you go boy

try this

creat a shortcut to the log you want to use place the short cut in your bots folder
open the shortcut with internet explorer....
copy the path that appears in your explorer address bar and paste it to your log path section of the pickit config ini save the ini changes...

reply to r00t and voice

Ok i tried your suggestion r00t and pasted exactly how you have it in pickit-config.ini - the bot still logs to the modules directory and completely ignores me.


I tried your suggestion before voice. It creates another pickit.log even though there is a shortcut in the module directory to the pickit.log i want to use and I even put the original locations in the pickit-config.log to where i wanted it to log to. ie.. c:\Diablo II\IPB\pickit.log.lnk

The probelm seems to be that no matter what I put in there it ignores it as if it does not use those values. Again this is IPB 3.4 and im not sure which pickit. I dont know if placing a new pickit will get blizzard to detect me or not so i have not tried that.

Any other suggestions ?? I cant reach gods-network.com to email the guy thats doin it now. i emailed akced and he said his version didnt have logging.

It really seems that logpath and logfile do absolutely nothing. It really doesnt matter what i put i there it still logs it to the same exact place

oh ya i even tried using auto-it but auto-it has no copy file function so i put in

run, cmd.exe /c copy c:\diablo ii\ipb\pickit.log c:\log


i put that in right at the end of the compile statstics section which copies the file just fine but restarts the bot after every run. grrr.

besides swatchs works by tailing a file so i cant just copy a new file over it has to have something appended to the file swatch is monitoring to take action

if the semi colons are still in place in front of logpath= and logfile =
it will default to pickitlog.txt

also you must be logging to a supported file type i.e. text file or html doc and /or to the exact point in space and time that the text is going to be deposited
just hittin all the stops one at a time to correct this issue

 

[voice]

yeah you cant be logging in for every run... thats just asking for blizzards attention

I knew to remove the semicolons and everything, unfortunately there isnt a way to log to an alternate location. Have you tried ?? I put it exactly how you did but it doesnt work. Very odd indeed.

Heck i cant even get d2jsp to log it elsewhere ...

fileOpen("output/"+me.name+"calcs.log", 0);

i changed to

fileOpen("z:/log.txt", 0);

and the following

fileOpen("z:\log.txt", 0);
fileOpen("z:\\log.txt",0);
fileOpen("z://log.txt", 0);


heh it doesnt like anything! oh well guess i can live without my cell phone messaging me upon finding a shako!
