Not logging

[JaMie]

i cant get my server to log data to the games_mp.log

i added tthese 2 lines to the config file:

set g_logsync "2"
set g_log "games_mp.log"

but nothing gets logged, any ideas?

I guess you have logging enabled with set logfile "1, 2 or 3".

Does your server run on Linux? If it does do you have an fs_homepath set? If that isn't set or you don't know have you tried looking for a hidden .callofduty folder?

yeah i have SW accessing the log file in /.callofduty/main/games_mp.log and the file does log data but SW isnt seeing it. im not really sure if its the full path. its a jolt server if that helps

There are only two options for g_logsync.

g_logsync 0 - buffered writes
1 - write immediately

That may be your problem. :wink:

nope i already tried setting it to 1, it aint that.

thanks anyways

Another problem may be your file path. If you literally used
/.callofduty/main/games_mp.log thats saying that .callofduty is under the root directory.

You may want to try
~/.callofduty/main/games_mp.log
or
/home/username/.callofduty/main/games_mp.log
as your path for SW.
