Capture Console Output option

Post by abhilash »

Hello,
I noticed there is a very useful tool Capture Console output, which is only available for Admins to use.
So, what i was thinking is to give customers access to it so that they can get the output of their server , which would help them solve the errors.
I have come across this situation various times where the customer installs some plugin incorrectly and ruins the server. At that point he is unable to know the exact problem. They have to contact me and I have to solve the problem. Giving access to the Capture Console Output will reduce load on Admins significantly.

Regards,
Abhilash

Unfortuneatly the way I have to run process in order to capture program output can cause problems and increase CPU/RAM usage. I recommend if your running source games to add the commandline switch -condebug to the servers. This makes srcds log all console text to console.log file.
