Write to Launcher console process?

    using System;

    using maddox.game.world;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Diagnostics;
    using System.IO;

    using maddox.GP;
    using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
    using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public class Mission : AMission
{
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]    // use the kernel32.dll file routines
    static extern bool AttachConsole(uint dwProcessId); // use attachconsole from the kernel32.dll file
    const uint ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS = 0x0ffffffff;     // default value if not specifing a process ID

    public override void OnBattleStarted()
    #region start variables/timers/listeners
    {
        base.OnBattleStarted();
        MissionNumberListener = -1; //listen to events from all missions.
        ConnectToLauncherConsole();
    }
    #endregion

    public void ConnectToLauncherConsole()
    {
       AttachConsole(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("Launcher")[0].Id); // no error but no cannection either
       Console.WriteLine("... Connected to MP launcher console OK.");

       AttachConsole(ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS);  // no error but no cannection either
       Console.WriteLine("... Connected to MP launcher console OK.");

    }

tried setting up a custom console for the sub-mission processes, and again, no compile errors but no console or output

    public override void OnBattleStarted()
    {
        base.OnBattleStarted();
        MissionNumberListener = -1; //listen to events from all missions.      

        AllocConsole();
        Console.Title = "MyTitle";
        Console.CursorVisible = true;
        Console.OpenStandardInput(256);
        Console.OpenStandardOutput(256);
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
        // The official music of Dot Net Perls.
        for (int i = 37; i <= 32767; i += 200)
        {
            Console.Beep(i, 100);
        }
   }

Not sure why you want to do this in the first place but if all you need is to get text to show in the MP console window you just need to log it the old fashioned way (call GamePlay.gpLogServer()). Example: gpLogServer(null, "Hello World!"); will print "Hello World" in the MP console window.

On Dedicated Server you can use GamePlay.gpPlayer() to write to the Console, on Dedi gpPlayer() is the server itself.
null sends the message to all, with the gpPlayer only the server (Console) gets the message.

This fails Kodiak? Help please
GamePlay.gpLogServer(GamePlay.gpPlayer(), "... Connected to MP launcher console OK.", null);

does this help?

    private void sendChatMessageTo(int army, string msg, object[] parms)
    {
        List<Player> Players = new List<Player>();

        //Singleplayer or Dedi Server
        if (GamePlay.gpPlayer() != null)
        {
            if (GamePlay.gpPlayer().Army() == army || army == -1)
                Players.Add(GamePlay.gpPlayer());
        } // Multiplayer
        if (GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers() != null || GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers().Length > 0)
        {
            foreach (Player p in GamePlay.gpRemotePlayers())
            {
                if (p.Army() == army || army == -1)
                    Players.Add(p);
            }
        }
        if (Players != null && Players.Count > 0)
            GamePlay.gpLogServer(Players.ToArray(), msg, parms);
    }

Sorry to say it doesn't Wolf. I'm trying to write script-log information to the Launcher console from a sub-mission script, not write to the game screen chat window.

Ask about this naryv on Sukhoi.ru, he know how do this.

I've tried using the 'Sending server console commands from script' example below, but the code below throws a "missing reference required error" at the line in the sub-mission script where SendServerCommand function is called
