KSP 1.4 no output_log

[Dagger]

On KSP 1.3.1 I used the output_log to find the debugging port and see a more detailed logging.

It seems that in 1.4 that logging is removed. Is there any way of putting it back on?

Its now under User/AppData/LocalLow iirc. I will give you the complete direction later if you can’t find it, not on my pc right now.

It's now in <your user folder>\AppData\LocalLow\Squad\Kerbal Space Program

[Dagger]

Wow thanks!

Just in case someone needs it, the folder is:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Squad\Kerbal Space Program

If you don't like the new path you should be able to change it with a -logFile <pathname> argument

I think I'll put a shortcut to the new file in my KSP_x64_Data folder because I always have the KSP folder open if I need the log.

Hate the fact that stuff gets buried in AppData it's always a PITA to navigate to.

Is there any reason anymore to use output_log instead of KSP.log?

KSP.log does not display the whole stacktrace when there is an exception. Or at least it did not in the past but I may have changed with 1.3? And it is buffered so you may miss the last few lines if the game crash (but most of those are memory related...)

I think it does include the entire stacktrace (maybe only if verbose logging is on?), but the buffer is kind of annoying, not as annoying as all that filler garbage in the output_log file, though.

KSP.log has actually had the stack trace for a very long time (at least since I started modding in 0.24 or so).  It took a very long time for me to understand the hate against KSP.log until NathanKell explained to me that it didn't use to have the stack trace (which I agree would make it near useless).

EDIT: Oh right, and the buffering annoyed me too, that's why I added an option not to buffer:
