Adds runtime diagnostic logging to track down why printing is broken.
Pass -debug (or /debug) on the command line; all output goes to
mw4print-debug.txt next to the exe (append mode, timestamped lines).
No effect on normal operation when the flag is absent.
What is logged:
- Startup: AssetsDirectory1 path and full command line
- OnCreate: DB config loaded, timer created
- DoCopyData / OnFileOpen: each file queued for printing with filename
- OnTimer: which file is being processed each second, LoadPR result
- DoPrint: nPlayers count, PrintDlg call + result (on failure logs
CommDlgExtendedError hex code), DB export call/result, SetupFonts
result, StartDoc result, EndDoc vs AbortDoc, final return code
The CommDlgExtendedError value on a PrintDlg failure will identify the
root cause (e.g. CDERR_NODEFAULTPRN = no default printer configured).

MySQL database export (dbexport.h / dbexport.cpp):
- New files dbexport.h / dbexport.cpp implement late-bound MySQL export.
libmysql.dll is loaded at runtime via LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress so no
MySQL SDK is required at compile time; the app runs normally if the DLL
is absent.
- After each print job, match data is exported to a MySQL server before
PrintDlg() is called: one row in 'match', one row per player in
'player_result', one row per attacker/victim pair in 'pvp'. An optional
'event' table records every individual SRecScore entry (off by default).
Tables are created automatically (CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS) on first
connect.
- Config stored in mw4print.ini (app directory), section [MySQLExport]:
Enabled, Host, Port, Database, Username, Password, ExportEvents.
- Config loaded at startup (OnCreate); DB_LoadConfig() / DB_SaveConfig().
- Connection timeout set to 5 seconds so the app does not hang if the
server is unreachable.
- libmysql.dll (MySQL Connector/C 32-bit) added to Gameleap/mw4/ so the
deploy script copies it to MW4/ alongside mw4print.exe.
Database Settings dialog (File > Database Settings... / Ctrl+D):
- MFC dialog: enable checkbox, Host/Port/Database/Username/Password fields,
Export Events checkbox, Test Connection button with live status label,
OK/Cancel. OK persists settings to mw4print.ini immediately.
Configurable banner text (File > Banner Setting...):
- The 'WWW.MECHJOCK.COM' URL string printed at the bottom of every score
sheet is now configurable. Stored as BannerText= in options.ini under
[battle tech print] (same section/file as the other print layout params).
File > Banner Setting... opens a dialog to edit it; OK saves to options.ini
and takes effect on the next print job with no restart needed.
Default value is the original MECHJOCK string if the key is absent.
