[Rel] ConScribe : IV - Oblivion

» Wed Mar 09, 2011 11:32 am

Hi ShadeMe,

first off, fantastic tool my friend. It even captures PrintToConsole messages that are in a script that is crashing, so debugging has become a snip!

However, i have a strange problem. All of my messages are getting captured to the log file, but all of my PrintToConsole Messages that start with "Model:" are not showing up in the console; if I exit and look at the log file, they are all there.

Obviously, its not a major calamity since I really need them in the log file, but if you have a chance to look into it, that would be great. (It happens in version 2, 3, and 3a).

thanks again ShadeMe.

Indeed. Do they show up when ConScribe's disabled ?

Sorry ShadeMe, I meant to include that in my message. Yes, if I disable ConScribe, they will appear in the console, but who would want to disable ConScribe?

thanks

Curiouser and curiouser. A quick test revealed no such issues. I haven't a clue why something like that should popup. The dev. build has a few changes to the hook code - Could be why I didn't see the issue, but I highly doubt it.

To add to the confusion:

I just changed all of the places where I Printc "Model:..." to "Mesh:..." and now SOME of them are appearing in the console. I will continue to debug and see if I can find a root cause that might be of assistance.

thanks

Hi Conscribe,

Just carrying over the conversation.

Will I need to do anything in my mod to make this happen, or is registering an INI activity for Conscribe?

thanks

All you'll need to do is call the RegisterLog function with a log name of your choice. You can then use Scribe to print all your messages to the log.

btw, did you manage to fix the Model: issue ?

I will just say that I'm very grateful for conscribe. One user used it to be able to give me a log of a CTD caused by RealSleepExtended, and with the conscribe log it was easy to find the cause. It would have been very difficult without

Ditto, I mostly use PrintC now instead of Pluggy's log function during mod developement and with ConScribe I can review it with incredible ease. :wub:

Ahh, so you were jumping the gun a bit in the Pluggy thread - this makes more sense now. Should be much easier to use here than Pluggy (no StringIDs required). By the way, I see you're using formatString - are there plans to use Expressions? (As in, I haven't had a chance to really look yet - is it possible/easy to use Expressions in your own mod?)

That he's confusing the changelog with his twitter account?

It does ?

Actually, I've been waiting all the while for scruggsy to assign me a opcode range. The functions were added a looong time ago.

I was considering using expressions at first, but settled for format strings in the end. I haven't looked into the code either, but I *think* you could use expressions in custom commands by using a parser that supports script tokens ( let's should do ). I'll ask scruggsy anyway.

I think I found a bug with the sScribeMode setting. Currently ConScribe doesn't make seperate logs per session, instead it dumps everything into the Static Log.log. I already tried deleting my ini to generate a new one and then changing the setting.

Here's my ConScribe.ini and the Data\ConScribe.log
Woops, nevermind. It seems somehow I thought I deleted the ini but I'm guessing this was only in my head. After trying it again while I was typing this I discovered my memory-error. :facepalm:

Anyhow, in order to not waste this precious post I had a question about the logging functions. I noticed that there's a iLogBackups setting for the PerMod and PerScript logs, would it be possible to not use backups at all and just add the output to the current log, maybe with a timestamp seperator right after a game load/restart? Or does the Static ScribeMode also apply to to those logs? :unsure:

Scribe modes only apply to the console logs. Adding an appending mode to the other logs is possible. I'll see if I can get it done soon.

PS -> This :unsure: seems to have absolved your sins of spamming

I installed this earlier today to log some error spam I was getting and having looked at what it does, I doubt this is ever going to get removed.

Great tool! Thankyou! :foodndrink:

I :bowdown: to you for this tool! Agreed with Vacuity, this is never leaving my Oblivion folder.

Just wondering, what does static logging mean?

» Wed Mar 09, 2011 7:28 am

Just wanted to add to the praise. I added shadeMe to Map Marker Overhaul's credit due to this excellent tool. I will not even try to imagine how hard it would have been to debug the export/import of long arrays without ConScribe. And it is has been just as useful in debugging Enhanced Economy.

Just want to sya I find this mod invaluble.
I've fixed a bunch of problem by looking at the logs.
I am currently using v5 and I just dl'd v6.
I haven't read the readme yet, so if what I am about to ask for is there, Wooo Hooo!!

Otherwise, in a future release, it would be nice to be able to turn on \ off multiple logging.
By that I mean Static Log.log0, Static Log.log1, Static Log.log2, etc.

Thanks for your effort and I will be endorsing this on Nexus when the time limit expires.

» Wed Mar 09, 2011 12:04 am

That's trivial to add. I'll put it on the scroll.

Might as well post an update: v7 will allow mods to -

Register and use multiple logs
Read from registered logs

Shoot if you've got any requests.

Fancy name, eh ? It basically means that the console output is logged to a single file ( the Static Log.log file ) all the time.

I definitely seem to have picked the wrong TOD to release this update.

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 9:37 pm

Have no fear, for I am here (to thank you for this update)!

ConScribe has certainly been very useful to me as a debugging tool, so thanks for it, and your continued work on it.
