ARENA: print option in logbook

Post » Sun Jul 13, 2014 11:33 pm

Hi,

Can I ask how does that printing works in logbook?

Does it print physically to your printer, or somewhere in files?

I'd like to save my notes, but then I press "print" nothing happens (or I just think so).

I haven't found any information on the net.

Does any one knows how it works?

I'm using DosBox with modern PC

You have two options on a modern PC to backup the logbook in Arena - firstly you can just periodically back up the "log.100, log.101" etc in your save game folders. Or you can try to print it off using a modified DOSBox that has Printers enabled - like http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ SVN DOSBox builds. I however haven't used those builds to print stuff - but I assume it works.

In the dosbox-config for this svn build go under the printer change a couple things to the following:

printer=trueprinteroutput=printerparallel1=printer

When you press print a print dialogue like normal should appear.
