I just use a file-based logger. If you have an editor that can "tail" a file being viewed (e.g. EditPadPro), its just like seeing it in a debugger.

I also tried using something from the Windows SDK, or DebugView maybe, or Visual Studio(?) which worked.

But, no real value over just using a text editor and a log file, at least for me.

Some people also like to use an IDE that supports the debug logger interface - more info at: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/lrdevplugin/

wow thanks for the fast reply , sure i can tail -f files , but how do i use file logger ?

do i use the build in function or just lua "write to file " functions ?

also i have some plugings that uses the Lelogger , so if i realy want to see it in DebugView how do i do that ?

im using the IDE that comes with LuaForWindows bundle , i didnt understand how can i use it with assembla link you posted

thanks again for helping
