Q -View chat logs - View your chat log file located at 'logs/chat.log'

This utility lets you view the chat logs for your palace server - assuming chat logging has been turned on.

Note: This utility will work only if the chat log is located at /palace/logs/chat.log - the default location created when you enable chat logging through the

Enable/Disable chat log utility. If you have chat logs in other locations. this utility will not display them.

To use this utility, simply click on the View chat logs link and hit the button to Enable or Disable Chat Logging.

When you select this utility, you will be presented with a list of rooms on your palace. You can choose to see the log for all rooms on your palace or select a particular room from the list.

Note: This utility parses through the entire chatlog, parsing the log into separate logs for each room. This can take a few minutes to come up, particularly if your chat log file is large.

For anyone who's curious, a raw chat log looks like this (PUID and REG Hash changed to protect the innocent - me).
