developer console

(MuffinMan) #1

I asked myself if there is some special developer console as there is a load of output going on in the code but never reaches the normal player, I already searched through all the console commands and found stuff like the entitycount and so on but not actually what I was searching for…

What are you searching for.

Try binding the following to keys:
cycle r_showtris 0 2
toggle r_speeds
toggle con_drawnotify
(All stolen from a script posted by Infurita)

I don’t know con_drawnotify will try that one, the others are useless for my purpose, what I am searching for are the outputs to console that are defined in the code, like the vtos and so on by com_sprintf for example.

I could use such a console for debugging instead of sending everything to the normal player console which then would be stuffed with messages the players shouldn’t see - so sort of a private console only for me…

+developer at command line? Or does this just enable things like sv_cheats etc from console?

This might help to get a list of all commands. It’s from http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=7244


/cmdlist 
/condump commands.txt

From memory with the above it only dumps the current contents of the console which only contains x lines while cmdlist is longer so you are better off enabling console logging, enter /cmdlist and then exit and look at the file. You might see something in there but the list is hell long so it will take a while

+developer just enables additional things (thats a nice tech word) and can be seen with cv_cheats. These additional things include noclip, tracemap generation, cg_draw2d, …

so it might be the same as starting a map with devmap

thanks for all the suggestions anyway!

/developer 1 will turn on a bunch of output text to the console. It is probably what you are searching for MuffinMan.

that sounds really interesting, thanks chavo (damn why am I sitting at work I should be at home trying this stuff at once! ;o)
