Notes

Worldeater

ARMA2 crashes when diag_log is fed more than 1019 characters. diag_log might also crash ARMA2 when fed with less characters in some cases.

Note: This issue has been fixed in patch 1.04

Master85

To dump a string without "" use text.

Demonized

in patch 1.59 there is a limit of 1044 characters to be printed, no error or crash but diag_log line will simply end at character number 1044.

For convenience and easy debugging use my free debug_console extension which will automatically launch a console window with your output. It can also write to file. To install drop .dll into main Arma directory. Examples: "debug_console" callExtension "Default grey"; //default output "debug_console" callExtension "Red line without timestamp #1000"; //red with timestamp "debug_console" callExtension "Yellow line with timestamp #1101"; //yeallow withpout timestamp "debug_console" callExtension "Writing to file ~0001"; //output to file "debug_console" callExtension ""; //empty line "debug_console" callExtension "A"; //beep sound "debug_console" callExtension "C"; //clear console "debug_console" callExtension "X"; //close console Direct Download: http://killzonekid.com/pub/debug_console_v3.0.zip
