This is a new feature that when on, does not clear errors.log every time you start vendetta!

Options -> Graphics -> Multilog


Maybe there should be a miscellaneous section of the options.

Yeah, it's very experimental.
bind the commands log1, log2, etc... to log6 to switch between them.
I used F5-F10 in my tests.

Ooo, cool... I forget, does the Windows version write chat to the log? I seem to recall it not doing that...

Oh yah, the multilog when on will show 2 numbers on the left part of the chat part of the HUD, the White one i assume is the current one you are logging to, the red one must be the max number you can log to.

Multilog is tabbed chat. Log1 is messages, log2 is pm's, log3 is groupchat etc. It's highly cool. The white one is the log you are currently viewing. The red one is whichever tab has new content (ie a new pm or a new "Activate the warp here" message. It is HIGHLY cool.

I was wondering what that did. All I noticed was that my logs seemed to stop updating.

Not to my knowledge is there a next/prev switch. I just use this:

bind f5 log1
bind f6 log2
bind f7 log3
bind f8 log4
bind f9 log5
bind f10 log6

I can switch between tabs with relative ease that way...

Actually I think alot of people missed this feature.
Is there a "logprev" and a "lognext" to switch to next/previous or do I need to make some aliases?

Logprev and Lognext? Easy.

# Aliases to bind keys to.
alias IncLog "l2"
alias DecLog ""
alias Message "say"
# The l# aliases to use instead of the log# commands.
alias l1 "Log1; alias IncLog l2; alias DecLog ''; alias Message say"
alias l2 "Log2; alias IncLog l3; alias DecLog l1; alias Message say"
alias l3 "Log3; alias IncLog l4; alias DecLog l2; alias Message say_group"
alias l4 "Log4; alias IncLog l5; alias DecLog l3; alias Message say_team"
alias l5 "Log5; alias IncLog l6; alias DecLog l4; alias Message say_sector"
alias l6 "Log6; alias IncLog ''; alias DecLog l5; alias Message say"

Put all of the above aliases into WGAF.cfg in the Vendetta directory.

Turn multilog on also. Make sure you use l# isntead of log# (Rebind your F# keys). Not only that, but if you bind the key "t" to Message, it will change depending on what log you're looking at. So if you don't like IncLog or DecLog, you can still use the l# aliases to change what the key you bound Message to does.

NOTE: If you want to turn multilog off, the trick is to set it to the syslog (the first log) and then turn it off.

FiReMaFe...ENGLISH for us without the programming skill...please?

What do these bind to what and how do we change? Just hit 't' for the team log...etc?

You just put it in WGAF.cfg in the Vendetta directory.

Just hit t? No... have multilog on and then bind a key to IncLog, DecLog, and Message. The key bound to Message will send a different type of message according to which log you're looking at (if you're using the l# aliases)... not change to a log you want to look at.

And you must use the l# aliases instead of log# commands after putting this in your WGAF.cfg for everything to work as expected.

Multilog makes me fly bad. Like cell phones and driving :(
I think eventually a tabbed interface that can be used in stations and with the console will be very useful; especially since FiReMaGe's binds don't work in the station.

What? They work in the station if you type it out. /l2. /l3. /IncLog. It's just like commands.

Now how am I gonna remember that FM? The numbers don't correspond! >:´

The numbers don't correspond? What? /l1 = /log1, /l2 = /log2, and so on. You can even see it in the aliases themselves.

/me congratulates FM on a nice bit o scripting..

cheers dude.

What is multilog?

is this still around? Multiple logs for chat, msgs, etc would be extremely handy.

I know it's possible to keep separate logs of different types of conversations. I wonder if we can get them sent to different log files?

Basically it's what the channel/mission tabs are now.
