Any clues on why my log files are not being written. Below is the ugly command line that I use. Generated by TCAdmin so it is a bit all over the place but it has the reference -log=serverlog.log

Is there something in the ROGame.ini that needs changing?


TE-Apartments?mutator=Antilag.Antilag,DynamicMapRotator.DynamicMapRotator,TankTweak.TankTweak,BotDetonator.BotDetonator?MinPlayers=32 -log=serverlog.log?MaxPlayers=52?EnableWebAdmin=True?WebAdminPort=7781 -seekfreeloadingserver -multihome=119.252.191.61 -port=7779

Your commandline is messed up. The filename of your log file is: serverlog.log?MaxPlayers=52?EnableWebAdmin=True?WebAdminPort=7781. I'm 100% sure that no OS will accept that file name. Your commandline should be:
Code: 
TE-Apartments?mutator=Antilag.Antilag,DynamicMapRotator.DynamicMapRotator,TankTweak.TankTweak,BotDetonator.BotDetonator?MinPlayers=32[COLOR=yellow]?MaxPlayers=52?EnableWebAdmin=True?WebAdminPort=7781 [COLOR=yellow]-log=serverlog.log[/COLOR][/COLOR] -seekfreeloadingserver -multihome=119.252.191.61 -port=7779

I'm still not getting logs.

Got my server host to fix up the command line, thanks Ducky for that assist.

Also checked and removed from ROEngine.ini


Suppress=ScriptLog
Suppress=ScriptWarning
Suppress=Log


And also verified in ROEngine.ini that this was there.

[LogFiles]
PurgeLogsDays=3
LogTimes=True

Anything else i should try ? Apart from a reinstall.

That all seemd to look ok now. I'm running out of options on why your server isn't creating any logs. :(

That did the trick. Thanks mate.

Time to change your name to

Major 'saves the' Day

So do you think it was composition or lack of the -nohomedir phrase ?

Edit - just noticed that the log file is constantly growing. Server has been running for about two and a half hours and the log is 13,600KB and getting bigger. Is that normal ?

Love his work - Dirty Harry.

Hey should i be concerned about the size of these log files. They have never been that large on my server.

50k log file after a few hours ?

Has it something to do with the new debug stuck TWI put in after the last update?

I did notice when I removed some of the mutators, the growth of the log file was slower.

Should I have anything to worry about here ?

If it's caused by one of the mutators, then please attach one of those logs.
