[SOLVED] Disabling Engine couts

[njord]

Hello everyone. As you know there are lots of messages that the LE engine prints out such as :

 

"Loading texture "e:/workspace/iss/out/data/ig/leadwerksrenderer/materials/custom/clouds/cloud7.dds"..." etc.

 

Is there any LE or C++ or Visual Studio way to disable these couts of engine.dll ?

 

These messages really make it hard for us to see our own debug print outs.

 

Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is a way to do that, but you can build your project as a win32 application ( you need some special files for it) and create your own console. This is very easy, you just create a Window with a listbox and add your debug informations there.

 

Here is my solution.On the left is the debug box and on the right you see the variables and the values.You can insert references to each type of variable in the manager ( you see it doesn't work very well, because the listbox sometimes get one entry twice)

AppLogMode(0) disables all the engine logs, and you can still use use printf() to print your own debug messages:

#include "engine.h"
int main()
{
   Initialize();
   AppLogMode(0);
   Graphics();
   CreateFramework();
   CreateSpotLight();
   BP cube=CreateCube();
   MoveEntity(cube,Vec3(0,0,5));
   double n;
   while(1)
   {
       UpdateFramework();
       if(KeyHit(KEY_A))printf("**** My Debug Message ****\n");
       if(KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE))break;
       n=AppSpeed();
       TurnEntity(cube,Vec3(1*n,2*n,3*n));
       RenderFramework();
       Flip(0);
   }
   return Terminate();
}

Does Applog not only disable the log file which the engine creates ?

[Canardia]

It disables creating the engine.log file and also any output into the engine.log and to stdout from the engine itself. But it doesn't disable stdout from C++.

 

You can compile my example with mingw64 using:

g++ main.cpp -Ic:\prg\le\cpp c:\prg\le\cpp\engine.cpp -O6 -static -m32 -o main.exe

to see it yourself.

Thanks a lot! AppLogMode is just what i needed
