Logs

This is where you set up your logs options. For example you can choose which channels to subscribe too, add channel tabs to separate world speech from guild speech, change the default colors of the different text categories, etc.

In this tab you see the list of logs you currently have. This is also where you set up new logs, edit existing ones and changing their text color. When you create a new log it will be listed above the log you have market when you press on New. So, if you want your logs in a certain order, you have to think about this when creating it, since there is no way of changing the order of them after creation.

When you press New or Edit, the following popup will present itself:

You can name it to your liking, and then choose which channels you want to be shown in this log, and which speech will be default when you write in it. In the example only world channel is subscribed, and default speech is set to world as well. This will result in a log where you see all the world talk only, and when you submit messages when this log is active it will automatically turn out as a world message. You can of course still divert the text to another log, by typing a command in front of your text, such as /say, /tell, /factionsay or any other.

When pressing Color you get this popup:

By clicking on a color another popup appears where you can create any color to your liking by setting the amount of Red, Green and Blue needed.
