Log Deamon is a revolutionary parsing program. It has the ability to actually parse data before it is even logged. How does it manage this? API calls. LogD is a Meta Mod plugin, which sits between the Game DLL and the Engine. Meta Mod therefore can catch all the function calls that the two exchange, and react before the function call arrives to destination. Furthermore, since LogD is an add-on to Admin Mod, it has a whole array of functions and potential at its fingertips. You can have an Admin Mod function reply to every event that is logged.

   Currently, LogD only supports Mods that use the Standard Format (SF) logging system. There are plans to support non-SF Mods in future.

   Well, to tell you the truth, we really don't know. =) Here is a list of what we know so far.

• Fully Supported:
• Half-Life
• Death Match Classic
• Team Fortress Classic
• Counter-Strike
• Day of Defeat
• Not Supported:
• Science & Industry
• FireArms
• Maybe Supported:
• Anything in between. =)

    Log Daemon is an experimental Project, born from the merge of WDMisc_plugin and DSM. LogD has now been available for a few months and only one minor problem has been found (and fixed) so far. It is safe to assume that it is stable. We have had no reports of LogD noticably increasing system load or increasing lag on any servers please contact a Dev Team member and explain to him/her your situation.

   Please, do not send us complaints, flames or any other type of pointless negative communication. We will, however, be most happy to receive any requests, comments, or other constructive feedback regarding Log Daemon.

Oh, and please read the manual. =)
Thank you.

   A lot have people have made this project possible. Even though it is probably only a temporary solution until Meta Mod starts parsing its own API calls, I would like to thank a few people:

• Will Day who wrote Meta Mod, and started the whole thing with his skeleton code. He also offered to host us. Thx anyway. =)
• Alfred who came up with Admin Mod in the first place.
• Da Rope for keeping Admin Mod going (one helluva job, trust me).
• The Admin Mod Dev Team for always being there and answering our annoying questions.
• Justin T. aka Madador03: "You want me to do WHAT?"

   Of course, with credit acknowledgements goes that fatal lapse: the person you forget. I would therefore like everyone to know that even if I might have forgotten to add you here, I am still very thankful for your participation. =)
