Format GTA RP chatlogs
GTA roleplay generates dense, hard-to-read chat logs. This guide covers the common line formats and how to turn a raw log into a clean, color-coded screenshot for faction reports, forum posts, or character stories. It runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. The guide is free; Chatlog Magician itself needs a Patreon membership, $3 a month, since September 2026.
The common line formats
Name says:spoken dialogue (normal chat)./me: an action your character performs, rendered in purple./do: environment description or an out-of-character scene fact.(( OOC ))//b: out-of-character chat, shown greyed.- Whisper, shout, low, radio, and phone lines each get their own styling.
Why it works across servers
- GTAW, FiveM, RAGE MP, RedM, and alt:V share the same
Name says:chat structure. - The parser reads that generic format, so a log from any of them formats correctly.
- GTAW faction colors layer on top for servers that use them.
Step by step
- 1. Copy the chat lines from your client.
- 2. Paste them into Chatlog Magician; it colors names, actions, and OOC automatically.
- 3. Set font size and background, recolor character names, and censor anything private.
- 4. Export a transparent-trimmed PNG, ready to post.
