Debug Text

This document is a work-in-progress and may be missing information.

This is a developer hack that can be enabled on the "Developer" page of the Mods List.

This hack displays various debugging information via a series of pages that can be navigated with the R and T keys (or Shift+R and Shift+T for subpages).

Configuration

Version History

1.26

Fixed an issue where the "×" symbol in the title of the "Graphics > Allow Textures Larger Than 2048 × 2048" setting was the wrong character in some non-unicode system locales.
- For example, it appeared as "Ч" in Russian.
Added a new "walker cam" page.

1.25.1

General

Added a list of cars that will be removed the next time they're off screen to both the "cars" and "mission" pages.

"mission" Page

Made it so this page now shows which stages have checkpoints and which stage is currently the active checkpoint.
Changed "active" to "current" when indicating what stage you're currently on.
Made it so this page now shows the current state of a stage.
- A stage's state can be "active", "completed" or "failed".
- A stage's state can also be nothing.
Made it so this page now shows what stage vehicles are being manipulated in each stage.
- This shows what locator and AI the vehicle is being added and/or activated with.
Made it so this page now shows a list of every stage vehicle used in the mission.
- This list shows whether or not the vehicle is currently in the world.
- This list also shows the driver of the vehicle and also whether or not the driver is in the world.
- Cars are removed from this list when the mission is done using them.

1.25

Renamed the -debugtextmode command line argument to -debugtextpage to be more consistent with the hack's settings.

The old is still supported for backwards compatibility.

1.24

"cars" Page

Added information about husks.

1.23.10

"anim entities" Page

Added this new page. This shows "D arrow anims", "W arrow anims", "Anims", "Anim colls", "Multi controllers" and "State props".

1.23.4

"position" Page

Made this page show all action buttons the player is in with "(main)" after the main one (the one you can interact with) instead of just showing the main one.

1.23.3

"AI cars" Page

Added this page.

"car physics objects" Page

Added this page.

"fences" Page

Fixed an issue introduced in 1.23.2 where switching to this page broke anything that was one-sided.

Frame Limiter

Fixed an issue where mission loading screens (used when selecting a mission or starting one) were considered menus instead of loading screens.

1.23.2

General

Added a "keyboards" page, a "mice" page and a "steering wheels" page to a new "controllers" group.
Moved the "gamepads" page to the new "controllers" group.

"fences" Page

Fixed a bug where this page didn't set the cull mode before rendering the fences (causing the fences to only be visible from one side in some cases).

"mission" Page

Fixed a crash when a stage condition is null (which will crash the game when reaching the stage).

"music" Page

Fixed a crash when using the game's "MUTE" command line argument (which is enabled by the new No Audio mod).

1.23.1

General

Added a new "gamepads" debug mode.

1.22

General

Made debug class names cleaner. For example ".?AVVehicle@@" will now show up as "class Vehicle".
Added a -debugtextmode command line argument. This can be used to launch the game with a specific debug mode enabled.
Added a -noscaledebugtext command line argument. This disables the debug text being scaled according to the size of the window.
Made the debug text scale down to fit the screen.
- Also added a -nofitdebugtext command line argument to disable this.
Made it so pages that are not built in are grouped by what Mod/Hack added them.
- Grouped pages can be cycled by holding Shift+T/Shift+R.
- Also added a -nodebugtextgroups command line argument to disable this.
Made the "traffic" and "road segments" pages show intersections as blue spheres in the world as well as their names.
Removed the "root tree node and animated icons" page and moved its contents to the "tree" and "miscellaneous" pages respectively.

"miscellaneous" Page

Added "Action buttons" to show the amount of action buttons that exist out of the maximum.
Added "Playing sound clip players" and "Playing sound stream players" which show the current amounts out of the maximums.

"cars" Page

Added "Parked car count" to show how many parked cars currently exist.
Moved the listed traffic cars to the "traffic" page.

"mission" Page

Now shows "Time" in stages with a timer. This is shown in milliseconds.
Now shows the current time and duration on "timer" objectives in milliseconds.

"traffic" Page

Added "Count" to show the amount of traffic cars currently in existence out of the maximum.
Added "In-car limit" to show what the in-car limit is currently set to.
Added "Group" to show what traffic group is currently in use.
Added a list of all models in the current traffic group with the current amount of each one out of their maximum.
Added a list of all current traffic cars and whether or not they're active (in the world).

"music" Page

Fixed a crash when viewing this page when the current region had multiple layers in it.

"paths" Page

Made this page only show the models of the current ped group and not show an "x" after each count.
Made this page show characters and which ones are in use.

Added "Enabled" to show if pedestrians are currently enabled.
Added "Group" to show the currently selected ped group.
Added information about all the ped groups that exist.

1.19

General

Made Ctrl+C copy the current page text to clipboard.
- Also added "Allow Copying with Ctrl+C" to the "Advanced" tab of the hacks settings to disable that.

Made this page show "null" for null objectives instead of crashing.
- This is helpful for debugging in the event the stage's objective is not getting added.

"traffic" Page

Made this page render the segments of the road the car is currently on (and the previous roads segments if the car is on an intersection).

"triggers" Page

Made this page include the type number of locators in brackets after the type name.
Made sphere triggers render as spheres now instead of boxes.

1.18.2

"states and actions" Page

Added " (no wait)" after actions that their set does not wait for.
Added "Walker locomotion action time", "Walker locomotive action next idle animation time" and "Walker locomotive action can play idle animation"

Moved to the new "Developer" page.
Added settings that allow you to configure the look and feel of the hack and which pages are visible.
Fixed lag on the "dyna phys" and "static phys" pages while loading.
Made the hack work during movies.
Made the hack use Radical's official chunk names.
- You can revert to the old names by using the new "Use Legacy Names" setting on the Advanced tab of the hack's settings.
Made the "car joints" and "character joints" pages show the joints in the world instead of listing them.
Made the hack check for a font called "DebugText" and use that if it exists.

Fixed a crash when going to this page when not ingame or while loading.
Made "Animated icons" work outside the Release English version of the game.
