[Administration] Raw Text for Logs

[swagile]

Add a raw text logs option for anything we search up for admins. I have been told CM's have access to this already, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Pros:
- Lets us parse via notepad ++ much easier.
- Don't have to go page by page; can look at large amounts of logs in a easier format.
- Can format it in a editor that isn't bright white background with tiny black text.
- QoL in general.

Cons:
- I will find your ERP logs faster and I don't want to.

I dont see any cons

No. CMs can't do so already.

This feature does not exist and would be preferable to use the current log system we have. The only way to get a full TXT of logs is via the server control panel which no one but a very few select people has access to.

The most annoying part of admining a Garry's Mod server: needing full logs but not being on server at the time - and then needing to contact those with box/scp access.

Im cool with using the logs for the ability to see exactly where stuff happened and such, but beyond that, having raw text for cases multiple days old, lots of items, etc. is preferable.

We have access to logs at all times but you'd get a migraine trying to parse through it right now, trust me.

Guessing it's a script/function you access in game then?

Correct, its a menu much like the Skills, Character, etc. buttons; we always have logs. The issue is that they aren't raw text; they have some cool functionality in the inbuilt logs but its just.... so fucking janky holy shit... anything but a slight log scan takes ages and hurts my eyes.

Can make a web panel for normal staff members to use eventually which only gives access to log files
