Logger

namespace FreezingArcher.Output

The logger is used for logging messages to the console and to a logfile located in the output directory. You may not use Console.Write... for command line output. Instead use the logger as the logger is aware of log levels and writes the output to a file. Additionally the logger runs in an extra thread. Therefore the game performance is not affected when producing a high amount of log lines. To add a log line do something like this:

Logger.Log.AddLogEntry (LogLevel.Debug, "AwesomeModule",
                        "The awesome module has reached an awesomeness of {0}!",
                        awesomeness);

Available log levels:

1. Debug: Messages for debug usage
2. Fine: Totally unneccessary status information
3. Info: Standard log level
4. Warning: Just a warning, will not cause any crashes
5. Error: Error which may cause a crash
6. Severe: Severe error which will likely cause a crash
7. Fatal: Fatal error may be logged immediately before a crash
8. Crash: There was an error which the program couldn't handle and the game crashed

It is possible to set the log level of the logger via Logger.Log.SetLogLevel (LogLevel level). However you may use the command line or the config file to set the log level. Otherwise those mechanism won't have any effect on the log level any more.
