developer-tools

A powerful set of tools for debugging entities and viewing map mechanisms (kind of like Map IO).

ConVars

developer <0/5> - Set developer message level.

• If developer is greater than 1 then the entity debugging screen is activated.

• If developer is greater than 3 then the debugging map is activated, in which you can see all previously hidden/secret entities.

• If developer is greater than 4, then the display of the center of the map and its borders is enabled.

• developer_io_distance <128/16384> - Maximum render distance of the map entities.
• developer_io_ignorez <0/1> - Enables or disables mapping entities through walls.

Commands

• developer_time - Outputs all in-game clocks in a human-readable format.

• developer_entity - Outputs all basic information about the entity to the console.

• developer_weapon - Same as developer_entity, but for active weapons, if you look at the player or npc, their weapons will be in the results.

• developer_weapons - Similar to developer_weapon, but prints all weapons in the player's inventory.

Useful ConVars

• mat_wireframe <0/4> ( requires sv_cheats 1 ) - Enables displaying the map rendering grid and models through textures, useful for PVS and PAS tests.
• vcollide_wireframe <0/1> ( requires sv_cheats 1 ) - Render physics collision models in wireframe.
• cl_showhitboxes <0/1> ( requires sv_cheats 1 ) - Turns on the display of hitboxes on the client.
• ent_messages_draw <0/2> ( requires sv_cheats 1 ) - Visualizes all entity input/output activity.
• net_graph <0/4> - Performance Monitor.
