Don't know what forum to put this idle question in, so in here it goes.

I recently discovered/started using the 'verbose' pc console command, and I find it useful/interesting, for various reasons. The problem is, I can only see all that info when I hit the console key/pause the game, which means I can miss a lot of the lines. Is there any way to make it visibly scroll while I'm actually playing/not paused? Or alternatively, how do you make the text scroll so you can look through all/past lines, not just what currently fits in the console display area?

P.S. if there's no way to do this, I won't cry (much). Just thought I'd ask.

I can only answer your last question: use the [Page Up] and [Page Down] keys.

some console commands (like player position) will display on screen. I don't think that one does. I wonder if you could output it to a file?
-----------------------------------

I just looked. There is a SCOF command 'SetConsoleOutputFile'

I had tried the arrow keys and the Home/End keys but for some reason forgot to try the page down/up ones.
Having it output to a file is also great. Thanks much, you're awesome.

If you toggle the Debug Text, does that show you what you want while you are playing the game?

Okay, that didn't take long One-upped, by a moderator no less! Ah the ignominy.

:icecream:

Ah! Yes it does. Guess I thought that would do something entirely different. And it nicely only pops up when it has something to say, then disappears again after a bit. Thanks to you too. I guess that makes/means the verbose command is redundant?

@Edouard - The Page Up/Down keys only seem to scroll up a few 'pages' then stops, so the scof to a file advice is still awesome/I'll be using that a lot.

Answering my own idle assumption....no it doesn't. The verbose text messages don't appear/start scrolling until you activate it + have debug on. Another issue is the scrolling text pretty much covers up the health bar, making it hard to tell if I need to hide/run away/heal and I end up with:

Veteran Legionary hits Kalei for 3.8/90.8 Health damage!
Veteran Legionary hits Kalei for 3.8/83.2 Health damage!
Veteran Legionary hits Kalei for 3.8/75.6 Health damage!
Veteran Legionary hits Kalei for 44.1/68.0 Health damage!
Kalei is dead!

...awwww, shucks. lol. Too fun.

ya gotta start learning to add faster in your head. :hubbahubba:

Something worth noting about this function is that its long name is spelled incorrectly - the 't' in 'Output' is missing, so the long function name is actually 'SetConsoleOuputFile'. Luckily it has a shorter alias, so you don't need to be aware of this to use it successfully.
