Hey,

It would be a great addition (at least for me) if all diagnostic events of Gamestudio (ALL information written to the acklog.txt) could also be emitted to the stdout.
The standard output could be redirected by an external program and allow a better analysis of error messages..

A simple printf() with any file-access to the acknex.txt shouldn't be such a problem, at least i hope so

Thank you very much in advance,
Timo

Amen!

dum di dum

i have this: http://www.quadraxas.com/33-acknex-exe-with-console/

but this acknex.exe version is not able to publish to exe. you could use it as acknex_debug.exe

edit: this is of course for use to print your own messages, log messages are still printed to acklog

aaand next bump....you can also write that you do not want to implement it (or maybe add it as a kind of startup option? eg. -print instead of -diag).. but just an answer would be nice!

Ok, ok, we'll implement a stdout channel. It was already asked for some time ago, at least it's on my list since a couple of months.

can't you use GetStdHandle and WriteFile?

wuhuuu, won ;-)

@Joey: Yes this is what i intend to do.. But of course it is not possible, as long as the process does not emit anything to the stdout handle So thats exactly what i was asking for

I could hook the fopen and fwrite functions, but hey come on..I do not want to slow down such basic functions.. And additionally i'm not too sure if jcl would be happy if i kind of "hack" those functions and change the way the engine behaves..

ah I see...
