—— FEATURES ——
☑ Clean Console
Stack traces are no longer shown for every entry in the Console list.
This greatly improves readability.
☑ Syntax Highlighting
Your console messages are automatically augmented with
colorful syntax highlighting, improving readability even more.
☑ Automatic Context
The context Object is automatically determined for your messages whenever possible to help with locating message sources.
☑ Channels
Prefix a log message with a tag inside square brackets to tie it to a specific channel, then show/hide all messages from specific channels.
☑ Debug.Log(()=>field)
A new compact syntax can be used to log both the name and value of a field to the console.
☑ Debug.LogState(target)
Easily print the full state of a target to the console.
☑ Debug.LogChanges(()=>field)
Have messages be printed automatically whenever the value of a field changes.
☑ Debug.DisplayOnScreen(()=>field)
Easily display the name and current value of any field on the screen.
☑ Debug.LogToFile(message, path)
Easily output messages into text files instead of the console.
☑ Dev.Log(message)
Just like Debug.Log except all calls are omitted from release builds.
☑ Critical.Log(message)
Useful for important messages you don't want getting lost in the shuffle; uses a larger font, full stack trace and always gets recorded in a log file.
☑ Personal Channel
Use your personal channel to log messages that are by default omitted from all users except for you.
☑ Highly Customizable
Thorough customization options allow you to configure everything to fit your team as well as your personal preferences.
☑ Source Code Included
Comes with a unity package containing full source code and a convenient DLL builder window.
☑ Console+ Window
As an added freebie bonus you get an augmented Console window with a convenient channel dropdown menu and a lot of other enhancements.
—— USAGE EXAMPLES ——
☹ Before:
Debug.Log(nameof(target)+"="+(target == null ? "null" : target.ToString()), this);
☑ After:
Debug.Log(()=>target);
⚠ Prints:
target=Player
☹ Before:
string message = "MyClass state:\n";
message += "speed=" + speed + "\n";
message += "target=" + (target == null ? "null" : target.ToString()) + "\n";
message += "progress=" + progress;
Debug.Log(message, this);
☑ After:
Debug.LogState(this);
⚠ Prints:
MyClass state:
speed=5
target=null
progress=0.25
☹ Before:
void Update()
{
if(myField != lastValue)
{
Debug.Log("myField="+(lastValue = myField)+"\n(was: "+lastValue+")", this);
lastValue = myField;
}
}
☑ After:
Debug.LogChanges(()=>myField);
⚠ Prints:
myField=5
(was: 4)
myField=6
(was: 5)

—— INSTALLATION ——
Once you have installed Debug.Log Extensions you will be asked whether or not you would like to replace the default Debug class across the project.
If you choose "Yes" and some classes in your project contain the statement "using Debug = UnityEngine.Debug;" it can prevent the project from compiling.
To fix this you just need to remove the statements from your code - they should no longer be necessary when using Debug.Log Extensions anyways.
Alternatively you can opt not to replace the default Debug class. In this case you will need to add "using Debug = Sisus.Debugging.Debug;" in any classes where you want to enable Debug.Log Extensions' enhancements.
