jumpartist 0 Posted March 26, 2013 So it looks like the new update got rid of the regular old arma3.rpt and replaced it with timestamped rpt's. Cool if you wanna look for your latest, but man there are alot of programs that read the arma3.rpt and not Arma3_2013-xxx-xx-xxx-xx. And since we cant rename files in use by the game we cant designate the program to read out of the RPT in use, as its always changing. This is a bummer.

jumpartist 0 Posted March 28, 2013 Is there a way to tell the server to continue to write to just the arma3.rpt per the server.cfg? IE logFile = "arma3test.rpt"; Because as of now it still creates both but only writes to the timestamped .rpt file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't really looked into this, do these timestamped RPTs just endlessly mount up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonygrunt 10 Posted March 28, 2013 Not just RPTs but BIDMPs and MDMPs too, so every time you crash you get a new pack of files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted March 28, 2013 i put some though into this and we may have solution for this using symbolic link / junction ... with the old 'static' log filename linking to active/last log new filename discussing atm. with programmers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spyder001 1 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Maybe even a simple command (that works on windows as well as linux) that allows us to write to a file with the name of our choosing ... diag_file ["filename.ext", "string", timestamp bool]. Edit: with limited .ext allowed (.txt for example) Edited March 28, 2013 by Spyder001 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
