Lua/CELX scripting

[aywander]

I was wondering if there is any way to debug one's Lua/CELX code efficiently. Currently, the only feedback I get from Celestia is that either the script works as expected or it doesn't. Is there a stdout or stderr somewhere that can be viewed

Cheers

I agree. It's a pain.

Some errors show up in Celestia's "console log".
It can be seen by typing a "tilde" (~) which is the same as (shift-`) on most keyboards.
It can be navigated by typing the up- and down-arrow keys.

Thanks! That's better than nothing.

Also, you can print out your own debug messages in the console log using the celestia:log(string) method.

Thanks Vincent, that is quite useful!
