logchat issues - Not Espi - 11-29-2009
alright the description says it all. last night when i opened it to use some conversations in a story it was all there. today, i launched freelancer and the pc crashed when i was trying to refresh the server list. power went down for about a half a minute, but this is not the issue.
i decided to look at the story again and see what i can add, and the DSAce.txt in my documents folder says these two words:
Freelancer Started
and this is the second time I KNOW OF this happened. so where's the catch? i use the -logchat suffix in the freelancer link on my desktop and i don't type it ingame. could this be the catch?
thanks

If you started the game from Freelancer Account Manager, it won't work.
To be honest though, I'm not sure. Can you please paste the contents of your shortcut's Target field?

i dont use the account manager, so i guess that isn't it.
target:
...\EXE\freelancer.exe -logchat -s87.72.29.113:2302
that's all
i have another link also including the -w suffix for windowed game, sometimes i use that one, if it helps. i didnt use that one for about 2 days or so

Mine looks like this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe -logchat -logappend -logtime -s87.72.29.113:2302 -s<whatever the D-USA IP is>

sorry to cause confusion
D:\games\freelancer\EXE\freelancer.exe -logchat -s87.72.29.113:2302
i thought the d:\games\freelancer part was irrelevant

so should i use logappend instead of logchat? does logchat rewrite the file completely? or are they the same commands?
edit: or both?
logchat issues - Boss - 11-29-2009
They both need to go together. -logappend instructs DSAce to add the new log to the end of the old file.
logchat issues - DeathsOverture - 11-29-2009
Use both.
' Wrote:- New command line option '-logappend'. When this option is used the DSAce.log is not overwritten when Freelancer is started.
Edit: All yours Boss:P(Ninja'd!)
