Commands:
start [msg name or id]
Starts logging given message or all if no argument

Stops logging given message or all if no argument
list [page]
Displays list of messages and their logging status
Cvars
amx_ml_filter [Default Value: 1]

Set this to the index of the entity for which you want to log messages
If this is set to 0, message logging will be done for all entities
amx_ml_logmode [Default Value: 1]
Determines where to log message information
Set this to 0 to log information to the standard AMX Mod X log file
Set this to 1 to log information to a separate file (messages.log) in the log directory
Examples
To log the DeathMsg message:
amx_msglog start DeathMsg OR amx_msglog start 83
To stop logging the DeathMsg message:
amx_msglog stop DeathMsg OR amx_msglog stop 83
To log all messages except the DeathMsg message:
amx_msglog start
amx_msglog stop DeathMsg OR amx_msglog stop 83

amx_ml_filter 3
To log messages sent to all entities:
amx_ml_filter 0
Version History
1.17 [Feb. 11, 2007]
Fixed: Long arguments were being reported as bytes (Thanks XxAvalanchexX)
1.16 [Oct. 4, 2006]
Fixed: String arguments of messages that contained format paramaters (such as %s) caused runtime error 25 (thanks sawce )
Tabs and new-lines in string arguments of messages are now converted to ^t and ^n
1.15 [July 4, 2006]
Now uses the Fakemeta module instead of Engine
Now uses vformat instead of the deprecated format_args when logging information
Very minor optimizations
1.11 [May 11, 2006]
Fixed: String arguments of messages were being logged as numbers
1.10 [Apr. 23, 2006]
Minor optimizations including the use of pcvar natives to improve performance a bit
Much of the logged text has been rewritten in an attempt to make it more like the Half-Life log standard
Now when using the start or stop commands on a specified message, both the message name and ID are printed instead of just whatever was given as the argument
Added: amx_ml_logmode cvar for controlling where to log message information
Fixed: When no arguments were given to amx_msglog, usage information was not printed
1.03 [Oct. 26, 2004]
Public release
Fixed: Entity filter wasn't actually checking for valid entities correctly (thanks JGHG)
1.02 [Oct. 25, 2004]
Fixed: If logging had been started for a message, stopped, then started again, same message was logged twice.
Fixed: If message name or ID was invalid, started/stopped logging all messages instead
1.01 [Oct. 23, 2004]
Fixed: List command was not reporting correct logging status
Fixed: Filter was incorrectly filtering messages if amx_ml_filter was 0
1.00 [Oct. 19, 2004]
