If I have a #CAPTURE trigger window open, is it possible to log the text in the #CAPTURE window only? Or does the main window log prevent that from happening? If I can just log the #CAPTURE channel, say for like....when I capture the text on the OOC channel and I want to log it in case I have to shut down cMud real quick or just in general want to log it, how would I do that without interrupting the main game log that's recording it? I don't like sifting through the main game log to find specific OOC says or specific clan says if I can just record each channel individually and sift through that one channels log.

Yes it is. Pull up your package editor, click on the window you want to put the trigger in on the left, then put the trigger under there.

You misunderstand me. I've got the capture triggers working, but I want to log the capture tabs that open up from the trigger, is that possible without overriding the original main game log?

I just tried a few options, but was unable to get 2 logs at the same time. You might try using #file/#write/#close.

Wrym is correct that CMUD only has a single log file using the #LOG commands. You'll need to use the #FILE/#WRITE/#CLOSE commands as he mentioned to write to multiple files.

As silly as this sounds, would someone mind breaking down what #file/#write/#close mean individually and how to use them together (as the multiple /'s make it seem like I need to use all 3 commands together) so that I know how to properly use these commands? That would be so awesome. Thanks so much for helping me with this.

#FILE 1 "c:\blah\blah\blah"
#WRITE 1 {what you want to write}
#CLOSE 1

the file will stay open until you close it, or the session

Basically, you have an OnConnect event in that window to do the #file command and open the file. You have a trigger that fires on everything to do the #write command, and you have an OnDisconnect event to do the #close command.
