... maybe my topic posting spree will be over soon, maybe it won't. All I know is that "Docking Station" and "Creatures" are really bad words SEO-wise. (I searched here too.) C3/DS: Is there a way to view the debug output (eg. dbg: outs) more than one line at a time? For more than one agent (I'm not sure if I'm approaching it entirely wrong as I can't even get anything relevant from my agent in the console)? In real time? With or without weird specific tools that hook directly into the windows or linux binary? Honestly, just an agent that displays just a few lines of it ingame would be enough, if nothing else? It would make my, well, debugging a lot easier, but I can't find any information on how to do it. |

Do you have the CAOS Debugger tool? My TCR Norns |

i do not! i also wasn't aware web archive had a cdn archive, even if it's stripped of files good to know. where would I acquire this thing? also, am I out of luck in terms of other ways of viewing dbg: outs? even if this does end up solving my problem, i'd be interested in novel ways of doing so. |

The CAOS Doc wrote: That is all I could find. Maybe you should mess around a little bit with it, such as running dbg: poll in the ingame console or something like that... If you want to take the output stream of your own agents' scripts, I am not entirely sure how that works. You miiight need to use the CAOS command (CAOS has a command called CAOS)... Also, if you do not have it already, you should definitely get yourself a Categorical CAOS Documentation. The alphabetical one is kinda useless when you use Ctrl-F inside the categorical to find stuff... Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

Yeah, I already looked at the docs and played around. DBG: POLL isn't very useful because it only returns one line, and it doesn't seem to give anything output from my agents. Only what I've already fed it by putting DBG: OUTS "string" in the console. Which implies to me that it's scope-limited... |

I think you mentioned linux? Maybe you could use the Monitor from the Linux Console Tools then. They are not meddling with the binary as you have said, they merely use an interface the game offers anyways, via TCP port 20001 (and 20002, 20003 and so on if you start multiple instances of the game at once). Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

hmm ... I wonder if it's only the Linux port that offers that interface? time to experiment... e: I got a copy of the caos debugger going, seems to work fine. I'm still going to be experimenting with netcat on cygwin and 'porting' the linux scripts to it to see if it does anything, though. |

@Malkin: I managed to find a copy at TreeSprite's.  |
