Anyone know where the file that contains player messages is kept? I want to print it off to use as a crib sheet, rather than typing /showmsgs every time (I have no memory whatsoever)
As far as I know, messages saved using /setmsg 1 TEXTofMESSAGE, are stored on the server. As they are still there, even if you change computer. Do not think there is any local cache for that. I think they get deleted, when you transfer ship between accounts, but not 100% sure.
So the only way to save them is to print them with /showmsgs and then do a screenshot or read it from DSAce.log which is just a text file.
Also I think DSAce.log is overwritten by newer entries when it exceeds certain size, even when you have "append logs" ticked in the Discovery Launcher. Im not entirely sure about this though.
