Debug sent/recieved packets in OTC

[Tony32]

Hey guys,
I've been trying to figure out how I could make OTC display sent/recieved packets in the terminal, but I can't get it to work.

I've added a logger line in the send method in the sources, but it doesnt output anything for me.

void ProtocolGame::send(const OutputMessagePtr& outputMessage)
{
    // avoid usage of automated sends (bot modules)
    if(!g_game.checkBotProtection())
        return;

    g_logger.error(stdext::format("Sent packet %s", outputMessage->getBuffer())); <- I added this

    Protocol::send(outputMessage);

}

I've looked into the outputMessage->GetBuffer and it should return a string, but for some reason it's not working as I would have wanted it.

It displays "Sent packet" and nothing after it.

as seen here:

Also, I noticed the client uses the opcodes in the protocolcodes.h source file and not from the lua file, how would I do to enable it to read opcodes from the lua instead? Kind of a pain right now that I need to recompile everytime I change some opcode.

EDIT: I also noticed it says its OTClient 0.6.3 even doe I downloaded the latest source from the github, why is that? I've heard people say 0.6.5 is the latest.


Thanks in advance guys.

Regards,
Tony
