Log Window?

RobKamm · 08-20-2009, 04:01 PM

I've been getting an error while loading a data file that I'm working on. At one time I could see a window showing a log of what was going on and use that to figure out where the problem was. But I'm not seeing it anymore.

Similarly, at one time there was a debug.run file, but I'm no longer finding it. I'm on a Vista machine, so I'm not even sure which directory it would be hiding in. Any suggestions

The error, for it's worth, is "Load Dataset: Error 9: Subscript out of range."

Thanks.

The Logging Window can bei enabled under View -> Logging Window

Yes. The problem was that the software wasn't loading to let me get to the View menu. I wound up loading a different (working) file, opened the logging window, and loaded the not-working file.

At one point, I think, there was a way to access the log without going into GCA -- which would have been perfect for this situation. Any ideas on where that file now lives?

Assuming you're using a recent version of GCA:
{DRIVE}:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Steve Jackson Games\GURPS Character Assistant 4\

Or for older GCA versions, which don't use the recommended paths:
{DRIVE}:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\GURPS Character Assistant 4\
