As of Warzone 3.1 RC3 (and earlier) the output will go to different places depending on operating system:

Operating System

Output location

Microsoft Windows

Windows Debugger

Duha's Debug Reader provides an easier way to see the output.

Apple OS X

System console (also known as "System Messages")

There are some plans to update the debug() function so that it always outputs to the Warzone log file regardless of operating system.

Messages sent using debug() can be put in to the Warzone log file by using the command line option:

warzone2100 --debug=script
