When should mp_log.txt reset

[dodger42]

From past experience I always thought mp_log.txt was reset / rotated at the launch of every mission. Testing I'm doing tonight seems to prove otherwise.

 

Does anybody know the exact event that causes rotation?

 

Thanks!

Hi,..

 

The mp_log.txt is made always when you start lockon. The data for the misions (1 or 1000 misions) is stored there (landing time, crash, ejects, kills).

 

When you close the file is in the directory with these data until you start again lockon.

 

In this moment a new mp_log.txt is created and you lost the last data...

Thanks Pirao but I have seen different results to that also. I've had the mp_log rotate after each mission start without restarting the lockon.exe.

 

Dredd you've played with it a bit, have you got any info?

mplog will continue being populated with data until lockon is shutdown and restarted again. Clearing the log and re-populating with mplog data once mission is started again.

 

AFAIK.

I thought that too. On a test system I tried this:

 

1. Stop mission, and then fly from the debrief. Result, no rotated mplog

2. Stop mission, file, open, select, then fly. Result, no rotated mplog

3. Stop mission, stop server. Start server, select mission, fly. Result no rotated mplog.

4. Restart server. Result rotated mplog.

 

Though from the stats servers and stuff I worked on, the mplog always rotated between missions (without server restart). This was 1.12a also.

 

Dredd if you get a chance could you try one or two of the above and let me know what you get?

Starting to confuse me with all that rotating going on.

 

PM me your msn addy, do you use msn ?
