HiJack Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 No way to do changes to your profile after creation?
Archaic Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Not currently but soon yes. i7 - 9700k | EVGA 1080Ti | 32 DDR4 RAM | 750w PS | TM Warthog HOTAS/X-55 | Track IR 5 |
aaron886 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 This is great! Good idea, good execution. I'll be using it.
Archaic Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Happy you like it. More will be added tonight, like medals for accumulated flight hours. We have medals implemented for mission activity already. i7 - 9700k | EVGA 1080Ti | 32 DDR4 RAM | 750w PS | TM Warthog HOTAS/X-55 | Track IR 5 |
Gman3rd Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 When I try to start the program, I get a popup that says "Waiting for DCS World" and goes no further.
Archaic Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) When I try to start the program, I get a popup that says "Waiting for DCS World" and goes no further. That's when you want to start the game. You want the program to say "monitoring DCS". It will log your mission data every 90 seconds. 1. Start the program. 2. Fly DCS. 3. Check your profile upon mission completion. You may need to stay in DCS for 90 seconds after your mission if the timing is just right. Otherwise it won't upload your mission until you go back into DCS. The logbook begins recording when you takeoff. If you start in the air, it will not log your mission. We have done this for the sake of realism. Edited January 9, 2014 by Archaic i7 - 9700k | EVGA 1080Ti | 32 DDR4 RAM | 750w PS | TM Warthog HOTAS/X-55 | Track IR 5 |
TAW_Blaze Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 What happens if the server or client crashes? Great job btw.
Archaic Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 What happens if the server or client crashes? Great job btw. Depends on the crash. As long as DCS created a log file, it will be updated. Again: You must takeoff to initiate data recording. If you start in the air, it will not count. i7 - 9700k | EVGA 1080Ti | 32 DDR4 RAM | 750w PS | TM Warthog HOTAS/X-55 | Track IR 5 |
Paratus Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 just getting client stoped working? Could you perhaps attach a screenshot of the crash information, or send it to me in a private message? (I'm the programmer of the logbook)
Paratus Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Is anyone having technical problems with the logbook? We notice that many people who have registered have not yet submitted a log entry, which leads me to think that perhaps there is a problem with the software application?
HiJack Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 This may be a local problem on my computer but I uninstalled the client and ran a system restore as my computer started to behave strangely. What is the client doing actually? Can you document what it does including what files is installed/changed? How does the code check for DCS activity? Do you read the registry to find all DCS installations? Or do you just check for the running services? Don’t get me wrong, the idea with an online logbook is very good but I need my computer to perform at its best all the time!

All it's doing is reading your debrief log. The website then takes these figures and assigns ranks and awards depending on those variables, entirely independent from your systems. Essentially, it's reading a text file. That is all. i7 - 9700k | EVGA 1080Ti | 32 DDR4 RAM | 750w PS | TM Warthog HOTAS/X-55 | Track IR 5 |
TAW_Blaze Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) We were trying something with a friend together and I shot down an AI, got the kill message, but it didn't register. It was counted as "hit". Can't upload the track here, I'll put the link to it here: http://www68.zippyshare.com/v/43442674/file.html edit: Now a more weird thing happened.. we flew 2 missions, one of them we took off, flew a bit and then quit, nothing happened.. second was the one I described, with a landing in the end. Now I have 2 missions on record, one of them with the landing and one of them without it (unknown result). But what's completely unreal is that I have hit record on both of the missions on the same AI even though in one sortie I didn't even fire a single time. Got no track for the other sortie, unfortunately. Edited January 10, 2014 by <Blaze>
Paratus Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I checked your log file in the database that the game recorded and for some reason it didn't give you a kill record in the log. Maybe you aborted out before it hit the ground, or something? Seeing your data like this is already helping us tune the system.
TAW_Blaze Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I'm not sure what you mean by aborting, said AI died much earlier than the server was shut down. Watched the track yesterday, he lost his pilot and wings.

OK so how do you get the location of the textfile then? Reading the registry?
RagnarDa Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) OK so how do you get the location of the textfile then? Reading the registry? My guess: checking the files in %appdata%\SavedGames\DCS World\Logbooks\ Edit: Your problem might be a Windows Update or something... Edited January 11, 2014 by RagnarDa DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
RagnarDa Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I have a request for a future feature: parsing the dcs.log for output from scripts within the mission so you can log stuff like number of submarines sunk, objectives achieved, troops transported or flags captured etc. DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
Paratus Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 My guess: checking the files in %appdata%\SavedGames\DCS World\Logbooks\ Edit: Your problem might be a Windows Update or something... Correct. You actually set the path to the log file when you first run the application.
TAW_Blaze Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Something's bugged with the kill counts. Just ran our squadron's mission and had 4 kills on AI confirmed, none of them counted on the logbook. Also could use a total flight hour count. Edited January 15, 2014 by <Blaze>
nocturne Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Doesen`t work for me here... Set up the path but still not uploading. Regards Nocturne My Youtube-Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/2012Nocturne [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
