Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the proper place to pose this question, so I
apologize if I'm wrong. I'm trying to develop a tool in Java with similar
functionality to that of HLSW, with a goal of stripping out some of the
features my admin community and I do not use. I've established an RCON
connection with the server, and sending commands and receiving the responses
works as per the RCON packet info on the Valve developer wiki. That works
perfectly fine as I would like it to.

What I'm having difficulty with is understanding what goes on after the
"logaddress_add IP:PORT" command is run via RCON on the server. I've tried
to run a packet capture/scanner tool to see what kind of information HLSW is
receiving during normal operation, but I saw nothing that could be
understood as the console and chat log. Perhaps the log is sent in a
non-ascii format? I did find massive packets containing the state of all the
CVARs, so perhaps I didn't look thoroughly enough, but I don't think its in
there. I've tried looking through the Valve wiki but I didn't find anything
that seemed to be related to the interpretation of the remote log packets,
or even how to identify which packets contain that data. I'd really
appreciate if anyone has any input on how to work this out, this console log
reading is fairly key to my application's functionality. I've managed to
work around this for now by using FTP to download the logs in the
background, but its rather inefficient having to download the whole log file
to get just the most recent few lines.

Any help on this issue is sincerely appreciated.

Kyle Rush
