Research direction

Reproduce the issue on the 3.3.5 branch using the worldserver configuration with Anticheat.WriteLog = 0, then trace the startup path that creates files in the logs folder. Compare startup behavior with logging enabled and disabled, and confirm that disabling the setting no longer creates an empty anticheat_y-m-d-h-m-s.txt file.

Description

Description:

Woud be great when Anticheat.WriteLog = 0 it will not create the empty document log at all.
This is somehow annoying while testing because it does fill logs folder on every server start-up.

Current behaviour:

Atm when Anticheat.WriteLog = 0 / is disabled in config it will still create the empty document with anticheat_y-m-d-h-m-s.txt

Expected behaviour:

Maybe when Anticheat.WriteLog = 0, the log file not be created at all or at least overwrited at next start-up

Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. Set Anticheat.WriteLog = 0 in worldserver config then start the server
  2. notice the empty log is still created
