Feature Request

Feature Information:

Currently, the Rust console in AMP only outputs a few lines minutes after the server starts. If you run Rust from command prompt, it starts generating output immediately. The only issue is it seems to scroll backwards. This information would be very useful to have in the AMP console to diagnose startup issues.

The other option, which gives much less output is to add this startup argument -logfile "logs/server_log.txt" to at least save some of the output that is missed by AMP. This is not preferred as the information provided in the standard console is much more verbose.

I confirm:

• [x] that I have searched for an existing feature request matching the description.

Rust is another application that uses a 'fake' console that can't be easily read (on Windows) - so AMP can't display anything until the RCON connects, similar to ARK.

Understandable, and kind of the expected answer. Would it be possible to add the additional logging argument to get some type of log output?

Sometimes -logfile . in Unity apps can provide more output, but unless the server was properly designed to use the console correctly then it's very hit and miss.

I've tried that and -logfile - but neither add anything extra to the console. The addition of logfile "log.txt" as a default argument seems to be the only way to allow for diagnosing.

It's possible that it might allow writing to a named pipe/FIFO stream. I'll look into it when I get the time.

This is no longer needed. Greelan's Rust template shows full output so this will be deprecated after scheduled wipes in generic are possible.
