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.
