Truncated log messages

[Waldemar 337 12]

I want to see the full log message that I am creating, but log shows only a truncated text.

 

I tried to log an array of strings.

_animeNames = animationNames veh_1;

I tried using two log methods:

 

1. diag_log:

diag_log format ["Anime Names: %1.", _animeNames];

 

2. BIS_fnc_log:

_animeNames call BIS_fnc_log;

Both attempts result in a truncated array, something similar to the following:

"BIS_fnc_log: [BIS_fnc_debugConsoleExec] [""damagehide"",""damagehidevez"",""damagehidehlaven"",""wheel_1_1_destruct"",""wheel_1_2_destruct"",""wheel_1_3_destruct"",""wheel_1_4_destruct"",""wheel_2_1_destruct"",""wheel_2_2_destruct"",""wheel_2_3_destruct"",""wheel_2_4_destruct"",""wheel_1_1_destruct_unhide"",""wheel_1_2_destruct_unhide"",""wheel_1_3_destruct_unhide"",""wheel_1_4_destruct_unhide"",""wheel_2_1_destruct_unhide"",""wheel_2_2_destruct_unhide"",""wheel_2_3_destruct_unhide"",""wheel_2_4_destruct_unhide"",""wheel_1_1"",""wheel_2_1"",""wheel_1_2"",""wheel_1_3"",""wheel_2_2"",""wheel_2_3"",""wheel_1_4"",""wheel_2_4"",""daylights"",""wheel_1_1_damage"",""wheel_1_2_damage"",""wheel_1_3_damage"",""wheel_1_4_damage"",""wheel_2_1_damage"",""wheel_2_2_damage"",""wheel_2_3_damage"",""wheel_2_4_damage"",""wheel_1_1_damper_damage_backanim"",""wheel_1_2_damper_damage_backanim"",""wheel_1_3_damper_damage_backanim"",""wheel_1_4_damper_damage_backanim"",""wheel_2_1_damper_damage_backanim"",""wheel_2_2_damper_damag

 

As we can see, the log message ends unexpectedly.

 

The question is:

How can I get a normal non-truncated message in the log ?

 

Thank you.

As a quick and dirty workaround hack I can use this method:

_animeNames = animationNames veh_1;
_msg = format ["Anime Names: %1.", _animeNames];
copyToClipboard str _msg;

but it does not look like a normal solution while it does not write into log.

referring to "Demonized"'s note here there is a 1044 character limit. if you have longer log messages to handle then just split it up.

A strange limitation.

Thank you sarogahtyp.
