How to set command line for game lobby?

Postby ZooDoo4U » 06 Mar 2012, 07:26

There are command line options i use for a program of mine when the game lobby opens.... I use to be able to set the command line to have "/log d:\fa_log.txt" for example. I don't see an option in FAF to allow one to specify the command line option any longer. Would be great if you provided the hook to allow injecting the /log when launched.

Additional Command Line Options are Planned. Which ones do you want, exactly?

You can't change the log location, though, the app manages that and it'd require somewhat extensive changed.

If you want to see your logs, open the FAF client, select "BETA" and "Show Logs". Tadaa.

The log file from the /log command was created by the FA Lobby, not any of the FAF logs...

???

Really: Select Show logs. You will find a "fa.log" there, which is written by ForgedAlliance.exe.
