Error Log Reading for Zdoom/GZDoom

[RV-007]

Sometimes, when I execute a wad on either zdoom/gzdoom, I get some red error messages. How can I read these messages?

[Ravick]

Open the code console in game, its in the ' button. Use page up/down to move the msgs

Thanks. I got rid of the red error messages and now can fix any inappriorate error message.

You can also save console's output in a .txt file if you want.

Code: Select all

logfile <the name you want for the file>.txt

Open the notepad and put the above line in it and save it as autoexec.cfg and then put it in (G)ZDoom directory. Make sure it's autoexec.cfg, not autoexec.cfg.txt or autoexec.txt.

The above way is the basic way. If you want a bit more info check this (AutoExec).

Considering most of the output is going to be useless as AutoExec, (in fact any actual command you'd put in going to be prefaced with ],) that's a pretty silly thing to do. Better to save as Console.log or some such, and use it as a guide.

I don't think you've understood what Blue Shadow meant.

Does anyone know what is the command to automate logfile in the zdoom.ini/gzdoom.ini?
I can't seem to automate the logfile console command.

Maybe try reading what Blue Shadow posted?

I don't think so either. I was only half paying attention this morning due to having other things to worry about.

Thanks everybody, lol.

Ok, the zdoom.ini/gzdoom.ini does have control on the auto(mated) execution for a specified iwad.
For instance, I somehow put the path directory for [Doom.AutoExec] to Path=D:/Program_Installers/Software/Games/doom2_full/blah/doomhackz/autoexec.cfg
From there, I was supposed to put the autoexec.cfg file in that very 'doomhackz' folder.
The only line I typed in the autoexec.cfg was "logfile log.txt".
The log.txt will be found in the (g)zdoom folder.
Within the log.txt are all the console commands/entries.

This thread is a success in error log reading for (G)ZDoom source port.
