Sparker 185 Posted February 23, 2019 Hi there! This tiny Intercept-based addon adds two SQF commands to output data to files in text mode. You can open a file and write data to it. That's it for now! Usage examples: g_myRpt = ofstream_new "myRpt.rpt"; // Opens a file and returns a handle to it g_myRpt ofstream_write "Some text"; // Write some text to a previously opened file g_myRpt << "Look, I can output text like in C++"; // '<<' is the same as 'ofstream_write' (ofstream_new "myRpt.rpt") ofstream_write "Some text"; // We can also 'open' the file every time we want to write, the addon will handle that fine // You should probably make yourself a macro like this: // Uncomment to switch between output to external file and standard diag_log // #define OFSTREAM_ENABLED #ifdef OFSTREAM_ENABLED #define MY_LOG (ofstream_new "myModule.rpt") ofstream_write #else #define MY_LOG diag_log #endif Download / Installation: Files will be created in <ARMA ROOT>/Logs folder Install to Arma root directory as a typical mod: https://github.com/Sparker95/ARMA-ofstream/releases Also you will need the Intercept host addon, this will do: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1645973522 And disable Battleye before launching Arma! Source (to prove that It won't mine bitcoins): https://github.com/Sparker95/ARMA-ofstream/blob/master/src/FileInterface.cpp https://github.com/Sparker95/ARMA-ofstream/blob/master/src/FileInterface.h Intercept is an amazing project which lets you interface C++ (and, I think, Python and Lua?) code with the RV engine: It's pretty easy to make a working addon (I did it from this template: https://github.com/intercept/intercept-plugin-template ) and I hope developers will use it more often! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207 Posted February 23, 2019 Congratulations for this and thanks for sharing Sparker ! Just to understand a little bit !because i 'm a total noob to languages etc, it's generally as the Intercept: A library for writing Arma Addons in native C++ topic about and exporting an .rpt when using this ?

Sparker 185 Posted February 23, 2019 Thanks! With this addon (this is why I initially made it) you will be able to write debug text information into different text files. By default you have only the diag_log command which writes data to single .rpt file. If there are too many components in your mission/addon design, reading output from many modules is very inconvenient, so you might want to redirect all the information, from, for instance, medical system, into a different file. The addon I've made lets you do that by adding more SQF commands to achieve this. There is no way to add a custom SQF command by default, but with the usage of the Intercept library it becomes possible. I hope it answers your question? If not, I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand what you mean. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
