Console log not working anymore?

So, here lately, I can not get a single console log to actually show up... even when I get an error, literally the console log is just blank... any ideas? console.log("o3o") doesn't reveal anything either.

Try testing a game in the browser and see if the developer tools for that browser shows anything inside of it. I've never heard of this issue before but if it works in the browser it means something is wrong with node-webkit (the wrapper for mv)

I'd recommend creating a new project and copying the necessary files over then testing it again, it might just be a bad project.

Wow, so strange. I'm curious is this a pure vanilla project or are your scripts included? Is it possible you overwritten a console function?

vanilla, all I did was import a basic script to do a console.log, but it only works in web browser console lol

It could be that one of these plugins accidentally overrides console.log, however your browser might not allow that so silently ignores the override and allows normal console.log to work.

See if you have any objects called "console" or if you've done "console.log=" or something weird like that. Basically search for existing uses of "console" in the plugins.

The only plugin used besides mine (which just calls console.log) is the made with MV Splash Screen plugin. I've disabled it, but it still doesn't work. There are now zero plugins other than mine which just calls a console.log

I'd say reinstall RPG maker editor completely, or if it's on steam do a verify file integrity check, it sounds like the NodeJS console is corrupted or something. I don't see no reason for it to not be working correctly other than some issue happening behind the scenes because the browser works fine which means it's all local.
Another thought, maybe it's a virus program is messing with it, or maybe you need to run both steam and RPG Maker as administrator(if it's Windows)

It was the steam one. I tried installing the non-steam version, even better I installed version 1.1.0 and it STILL doesn't work? O.o Also the "Elements" tab is empty. Going to try to completely purge all RPG maker MV installs and redo it again
[doublepost=1473108218,1473103790][/doublepost]nope, doesn't work O:
 
It was an issue with an antivirus I had,
Ah! I get the same thing when downloading RAW files from Pastebin (one reason I don't use that any more). MS Defender doesn't like direct downloads of JS. The reason I asked if you could write directly in the console was because it reminded me of a similar problem someone I knew had and was due to the console settings themselves. Glad you got it resolved.
