How to collect logfiles from BZ2

[GSH]

AIP logs are only used for diagnosing AIP problems. AIPs are used in singleplayer, Instant Action and MPI. The files that are more relevant are as follows:

1) If on XP, open up the folder you installed 1.3.6.1 and/or 89e into. If on Vista/Win7, open My Documents -> My Game -> Battlezone II. This folder is the base directory logs.

2) Get the 'Battlezone.log' file in the directory in step 1. This file contains info on your system (CPU, GPU, etc), and also contains info if you crash. Note: this file is overwritten every time you run BZ2, so if you crash, it's best to back up this file or send it on asap.

3) From the directory in step #1, go into a 'Logs' subfolder. Sort that folder by date. Grab the latest chatlog and histogram log files for your most recent game. Note: chatlog and histogram log files are NOT enabled by default in 1.3.6.1. 89e turns on chatlog file archiving, but not histograms.

Basically, for crashes, just Battlezone.log is good enough to send on. For network issues, Battlezone.log + chatlog from that game is good. For really bad framerate issues, Battlezone.log + chatlog + histogram is best, though as above, chatlog and histogram aren't enabled by default.

How do we enable histogram logging if we feel the need?

[Red Spot]

Late answer, but as I was looking for the info it might be handy to have it posted here.

Go to your "-BZ2 root-/addon/config" folder and add the following to your LocalPrefs.ini file;

aipLogging = true
KeepHistogramLogfile = true
KeepChatLogFile = true
TimestampChat = true

Hi guys, as Red_Devil asked me.

Please remove what you don't need cause I think this post is very long ^^', sorry about that.

[Red Devil]

need the chatlog files from that game if you have them, oni.

[Red Devil]

add /uniquelogfile to your command line to prevent your Battlezone logs from being overwritten.

[Progressor]

Here is a set of log files with exceptions from different mods: FE, QF, Uler: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/751 ... rashed.zip

[Red Devil]

looks like a bunch of render AV's in FE and a couple odf AV's in QF.

[General BlackDragon]

First two look like an DLL calling RemoveObject on a handle that isn't around anymore? Possibly an artifact class? Aslo several ODF errors.

The rest look like a bunch of a different AV.

[Progressor]

This occurred playing the QF mod.

An exception is 100% reproducable on my computer. Here is the QF saved game: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40900550/22.sav and pilot file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/409 ... ilot_0.dat. Just tell the recycler to build a constructor.

[General BlackDragon]

QF1 or QF2?

[Progressor]

QF1 with 1.3.6.4z30. Rolling back to 1.3.6.4z28 eliminates the problem.
