Hud.TextLog.Log

[JarJarD3]

How many of you plugin writers know ITextLogController interface and Hud.TextLog.Log() methods?
I just bumped on it and for my data acquisition plugins this is a real saver as I can write directly to named files instead of single log file and filter data from there.
Of course you have to tail more files parallel but that's why we have multi cores running.

how did you logged previously?

how did you logged previously?

Like this, tail program reading plugins_debug.txt and searcing for "\t|"

It is quite convenient as I read only one file.
My tail looks like this:
My tail - Album on Imgur

[JarJarD3]

As I said in one of my posts only way to output from THUD is writing to log files or pixels.
Maybe you should add some random delay to log writes to prevent using it as a command channel.

[KillerJohn]

command channel ?
what tail means?

[KillerJohn]

ok, I was enlightened what is this for...

FYI in the future, all log outputs will be randomly delayed.
