[Question] Is there a way to debug my mod to discover errors?

[Max Bain]

How do you guys debug your mods? I wanted to add a new weapon and I think I did all fine but I can not see the weapon in the weapon selection. How can I find out what the problem is? Do you have any useful tips?

Thnak you!

I dont know how people do this but I'd suggest writing to the Tips logbook page as its barely used.

First thing you could do is go to the control settings and create a shortcut for the debug menu in the game, it should be one of the bottom settings, there you should see f.e errors loading mods and stuff. (Settings->Controls->General | At bottom, Debug Log), it is not set to anything by default but by setting a shortcut to it you can open it to see some debug information.

The above can also be viewed outside the game. Run the game with the parameter -logfile debuglog.txt . You can add that in steam, under "launch options" for X4. The file will be available in the games directory in My Docs folder.
