How do I gather logs from game? - nOmnomnOm - 07-11-2014
I've been meaning to try to do this for some time and I'm always stuck to taking screens of the in-game chat which is VERY annoying and takes FOREVER to upload into imgur and then post it on forums for some sort of MD.
I have seen it time and time again that the chat logs can be transferred on some sort of notepad or something? How does one set that up?
I need it now more than ever.
Thanks!

I'm sure there is a way you can do it with a shortcut addition, however the way I know how to do it..
Through Discovery Launchpad, as long as you check the options it automatically does it for you. Saves all the logs in Documents/My Games/Freelancer/DSAce.log
If you don't use launchpad, you'd have to dig up the option to add to the shortcut. (Don't know it myself, sorry!)

Do you mean "Freelancer Account Manager?"
or....
I just opened DSAce right now
I saw options that were "off"
Do you just simply write "on" ?
:S

How to set up mod command-line options.
Append your shortcut with -logchat to automatically log text to dsace.log. Add in -logappend to prevent dsace from being overwritten each time the game runs. Further add in -logtime if you want it timestamped, and/or -localtime if you want the time in your local setting rather than UTC.
So, your DiscoVerse™ shortcut will probably end up looking like:
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe" -logchat -logappend -logtimeEnjoy!
Edit: I think, anyway. And Discovery Launchpad is a program (editedit: found the link) which can manage your accounts much like FL account manager, but also has handy check-boxes for options like this and works as a platform from which to choose accounts/launch the game all in one. It's pretty sexy.
