How to insert debug messages?

[Thalassicus]

What's the easiest way to display a message for debugging a script? I want to check some things like if an onBeginPlayerTurn event is firing and which way an if statement is going.

I usually use

popup = PyPopup.PyPopup()
popup.launch()

Can also add popup.setBodyString(somestring) inbetween if neccessary. Don't know if this is actually the easiest but atleast it works
(Except there seems to be a bug if you have too many popups, or atleast was pre patch.)

I use Stone-D's SD-toolkit for some debug messages (mainly checking values at certain stages of the code to make sure it's doing what I think it is), and the inbuilt python error messages for error checking.

I find the SD-toolkit good, as it prints the message/value up in the top left, as well as in the log, while in the inbuilt "PyPrint" function only does it in the log.

Ah, thank you, I looked around and found that. Very useful

I use

CvUtil.pyPrint("debug text")

Then open up My Games\civ 4\logs directory and open up PythonDbg, PythonErr and PythonErr2 logs, which are the files that the output is sent to.
