I was just thinking since the chat is sent to the console anyway its already on your system so you don't have to make extra requests to the server and it wouldn't cause extra lag.
I know there is ways to trap the incoming stream of data with a seperate program, its what we have done over at MekTek to use as a cheat detector on the server end. Main problem is we are in the middle of a big project so the programmers don't have time for that.
So since the data is sent to your computer anyway, it wouldn't be much of a hit on the CPU to run it through some external program and to out put it to a text file.
I just have no ability to do that.
Just an idea that I've had screaming in my head for a long time now :)
