The chatLogger.ls script is a simple example that keeps a log of the chat messages sent through the Shockwave Multiuser Server. It's easy to understand and provides a useful example of server-side scripting in action.

By adding the chatLogger.ls file to the Multiuser Server's Scripts folder and adding a reference to it to the server's scriptMap.ls file, you can keep a log file containing a transcript of all the chat messages that are handled by the server.
