Logs not appearing
#1
My server is running quite well, but the logs aren't appearing anywhere in my installation folder. I know running the server is supposed to create a log by default, but can I manually force logs to be written or whatever with a command line switch?

Edit: I tried the "-LF" command line (tried 0-4, with no results). Also tried "-V" for the hell of it. No avail.

Sounds like a problem of permissions. Allow the server to write in his own folder

It's already allowed in the security tab of it's properties.

with vista, by default, normal users don't have writing permissions in program files. Unless you changed something, it shouldn't work (if windows 7 works like vista)

Same thing happened to me. I gave myself (all 3 User Control Accounts -- V-Man, Administrator, and Owner -- which in itself is like WTF) permission and it still wouldn't write. Later, the problem just sort of went away. Windows 7 is a fickle little hippopotamus.

umm, look for your log in C:\users\user\appdata\"something"\"something" or your document\Assaultcubev1.1
(on win7)
im not really sure cuz my logs are stored in installation folder. i had that problem long time ago.

sorry for posting here if this is an old thread or already solved.
server log files appear in the current working directory.
so if you are running a batch file in the "program files\assaultcube" folder, they would appear in the "program files\assaultcube" directory and if you're running it from a different folder, or in the command line, they will show in the directory that you were currently in. this is just from my experience. i've had them show in "C:\" and "assaultcube\bin_win32" before depending on how i ran it.
if you don't have permission to write to the folder, they wont show. running as administrator should of course allow it to write.
i dont have my server in the "program files" folder so i can't say about that specifically.
