Variable in Console Log Weirdness

Post by warderkeeju »

Hey,

I'm running a 7DTD server -- and using the following variables to setup console logs.

output_log-%DATE%-%TIME%.txt

It creates the log file normally, but when I set the file path for the console log to the same, (even with the full path) it fails to pull the log file.
Is it because the %TIME% variable is pulling the CURRENT system time instead of the time the file was created? How can I change the console path to reflect the variable above?

Commandline:Image
Console log file: Image

Thanks!

The next update with allow a wild card for the console log and will pick the log with the most recent modified time, until then there's not much you can do other than removing the date/time from the log file name.

Cool -- I'll deal with it as is in the meantime via a batch file to rename before startup. Thanks.
