Consoles and Debugging

[Codian]

I think a debugging console should be added to the game. I’m thinking of the one that any game made with Valve Source has. This would be useful for server administration as well as (possibly) performance improvement.

How this would work is that the player can toggle what is shown on the screen, ranging from connection status to client-based problems. They would also be able to input commands. In addition, this would also keep your chat clean, only leaving it for player messages.

Here’s an example of me giving myself an imaginary item.

Console

Codian: give 132

Codian Issued Command: /give 132

Given Dragonfang (1) to Codian

---

Debugging tools:

Connection Problem! - Running (8667) Ticks Behind.

Player (Codian) disconnected from the server. (Banned by Dfanglover420)

Suggestions?

Sure, would be useful. It’s on Trello too (’- visual tool for remotely monitoring and controlling server’).

but anyways

/give 132
