improbably impossible randomness

I've heard it talked about (I thought) of people checking some file that records all the rolls and how the AI makes its choices and things like that.

I'd really like to see that file; is there a way to do it?

Activate Dom3 using the -dd switch (add more d to get more detail) and then read the log file.

I don't understand. I typically activate Dom3 by clicking on it. I found a "Dom3config" file, but if I open with a text editor its just gibberish.

how do I activate Dom3 with the -dd switch?
Note: I'm on a Mac, which I know very little about. If I were on my PC, would I open it from a command line? I'm not sure how to do that on a Mac.

Not sure how the Mac works. It's Unix based, so you should be able to get a command prompt (shell). If you can 'dom3 -dd' should work.

If not, the usual Windows approach is to right click the icon to edit Properties and add the -dd there. Something similar may work on the Mac?

no right click on a this mac :/
and I try holding down that special key and clicking, and still no dice.

i'm reading up on the terminal right now; but I'm having to learn whole new set of commands. it sucks. I've been PC for all my life.

hmm...

I've managed to launch Dom3 from the UNIX terminal. If I add the -dd switch, it won't launch though (it will say "no such file")

I've also managed to open the Dom3 application options in the GUI and add the -dd swtich there. However, this turns the app into a folder (which I can then browse!) but I still can't manage to get it to launch with that command line switch.

any help?
