Unity how to output to -batchmode console?

Hi, recently i made a Dedicated server using -batchmode. I don't know how to output anything into it. I want to log some basic info like "Player joined the server" etc.

 

Either write your output to a file of your own, or use debug.log() and view the output_log.txt file that unity writes. On windows that's C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\companyname\productname\output_log.txt

Make sure you're using -batchmode -nographics and that you've set application.runinbackground to run as a background service.

 

It's not what i meant
I want to do display some info like player joined the game on the console like this guy: https://garry.tv/2014/04/23/unity-batchmode-console/

 

Have you tried System.Console.WriteLine already?

Code (CSharp):

1. System.Console.WriteLine( "my message");

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.console.writeline?view=netframework-4.7.2

If that works, I would probably wrap Debug.Log with my own logging API and then write the message using Debug.Log or System.Console.WriteLine.

 

I think it should work. Im gonna check it later because i can't right now BTW. If someone needs to read input from user like me, check it out: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4644415/java-how-to-get-input-from-system-console

This is literally the URL that i used in my previous answer

 

I'd run the server as a background task, then write to a file what you want to display, and tail that file to display its contents as they come in to the console.

 

oh my bad. I didn't see that one Btw, here is a small fix for inputs

You can also just open the unity console window!

This is what I do now:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.         private static EditorWindow TryOpenConsoleWindow()
3.         {
4.             try
5.             {
6.                 var consoleWindowType = typeof(EditorWindow).Assembly.GetType("UnityEditor.ConsoleWindow");
7.                 var consoleWindow = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance(consoleWindowType) as EditorWindow;
8.                 if (consoleWindow)
9.                 {
10.                     consoleWindow.Show(true);
11.                     return consoleWindow;
12.                 }
13.              
14.                 Debug.LogError("Could not open console window");
15.             }
16.             catch (Exception e)
17.             {
18.                 Debug.LogException(e);
19.             }
20.  
21.             return null;
22.         }

and at the end of everything, before quitting the application (isDebugMode is set via a CLI arg)

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.             ........
3.             finally
4.             {
5.                 if (isDebugMode && !success)
6.                 {
7.                     Debug.Log("Run failed - Close the console window to exit the Editor");
8.                     // ReSharper disable once LoopVariableIsNeverChangedInsideLoop
9.                     while (consoleWindow)
10.                     {
11.                         await Task.Delay(1000);
12.                     }
13.                 }
14.                 Debug.LogFormat(LogType.Log, LogOption.NoStacktrace, null, "Build batch finished, closing Editor");
15.                 EditorApplication.Exit(success ? 0 : 1);
16.             }
