upgraded to 10.1 and console not appearing

Post by zell2002 »

Hey guys, windows 7 + sublime, upgraded to 10.1 (i think I was on 9.1 prior actually..) and the console isnt showing up anymore.
Am I missing anything obvious?
in my conf.lua
t.console=true

LÖVE tries to attach itself to the parent process' existing console before trying to create its own console if that fails. However, sublime text seems to just eat the output without displaying it anywhere, when that happens.

If you do t.console = false, then print should output to and show up in sublime text's console.

Yea that's cool (although I can never seem to get that to work), why would this only start happening after Love 9.1 ? I think I had a similar issues with 9.2 hence rolling back, can't not upgraded to 10+, there's alot of great features.
Is there something I'm missing in these new builds that is causing this ?

In 0.9.1 and older, LÖVE always created a separate console window without first trying to attach itself to a parent's console.

The next release of LÖVE will include a second exe file which is built for the console subsystem, which means it'll do what t.console = true does but all the time and much more reliably (so e.g. print() will show up in sublime text no matter what, when that exe is used).
