TroubleShooter

This is a tool intended to be used by mod developers to troubleshoot issues with users of their mod.

What does it do?

The tool does the following things:

• Creates a separate log file that contains only data of the last lua state (Due to technical reasons at the moment, I cannot replicate BLT's log to 100% including the C++ logs). Should make it a few times easier to find relevant information.
• (What the SBLT plugin does at the moment) Copies the crash.txt and full log from mods/logs from your local appdata for easy access.
• Create a file named data.txt that contains all mods that the user has (BLT, BeardLib, mod overrides)

What do I do with it?

If someone has issues with your mod (like a crash for example), you can ask them to install this mod, crash again, and then send contents of mods/TroubleShooter/EnterHere to you so you can see if there's something wrong.

Notes

• You should not keep this in your game after the issue is resolved. You can move the mod out of mods or delete it.
• The mod can be useful for mod developers also since it makes a smaller log file and moves the crashlog to a place that is very easy to access.

TODO

• Figure out somehow to hook into BLT's log function from C++ so we can produce a far better short log (possibly even a better log file???)
• Better crashlog??
