Hi,

How do I enable script Logs output? eg: in AI.bsf i see calls to Log() and i'd like to read the log.
I tried changing vars like "DebugMode" in TWEAKS.TXT but the game overwrites the file at startup.
Do I have to modify another file or add arguments to the exe like -debug ?
I use Steam if that makes any difference.

Thanks.

You should make changes to the tweaks in your USER.TXT file in My Documents/My Games/FieldOfGlory2. You should never change files in the installation folder.

DEBUGMODE 1

is the correct setting to add.

Cheers

In /Documents/My Games/FieldOfGlory2

there is a file called User.txt

Shut the game down before editing it, or the game will overwrite your edited version when it closes.

Add the line

DEBUGMODE 1

Thanks!!

I tried but I dont see Log() outputs in any file. I couldn't find a log.txt for instance, and it doesnt output to error.txt. I suspect Log() just prints to stdout or was disabled in the release?

Its no big deal, I found a workaround.

For anyone else wondering, to output debug stuff from your scripts to error.txt

1) Add the var as explained above in User.txt
DEBUGMODE 1

2) Then in your scripts...
...to output a const string use harcoded
...to output a string and a few int vars use defined in Functions.bsf.

The lines will output in error.txt prefixed with "SCRIPTDEBUG: "
Might be usefull to people scripting campaigns and what not.
Happy script debugging!

IIRC Log just outputs to the battle log (toggle using F6 IIRC). DebugLog (as you point out) sends a string to the error.log file and to any attached debug stream.

Log outputs to the battle log. Thanks again for the help!

Not the combat log.

Press f6 to make the Log() log appear.
