FPS

Enables the showing of FPS in the top left corner of the screen.

ⓘ

The FPS is calculated from the time between last 10 frames.

Script profiler UI

Turns on the on-screen Script Profiler.

ⓘ

For more information regarding the script profiler, also read the documentation in EnProfiler.c.

⚠

This will only profile script, proto methods are not measured as separate entries. They will however add up to the total time it takes to run a script method when it is called inside one.

ⓘ

For Stats and settings it is best to also read the following "Script profiler sessions" and also EnProfiler.c.

Script Profiler Settings

A set of settings to tweak the gathering of script profiling data.

ⓘ

These can also be tweaked by script through the EnProfiler API.

It is recommended to first read the documentation here before using the API.

For more information regarding the script profiler, also read the documentation in EnProfiler.c.

⚠

The EnProfiler API and the script profiler itself are only available on the diagnostic game executable.

Always Enabled

Gathering of script profiling data is not enabled by default, this bool displays whether it is currently enabled or not. If it is desired that the script profiler is enabled at start, the launch parameter "-profile" can be used to achieve this.

ⓘ

EnProfiler API Related:

• EnProfiler.c : enum EnProfilerEnabledFlags
• EnProfiler.c : EnProfiler.Enable
• EnProfiler.c : EnProfiler.IsEnabled

⚠

Do note that the Script Profiler UI does not care about this bool and will always force the profiling to happen as long as the on-screen UI is visible.

So when the Script Profiler UI is turned on, it will not set this bool to true, since as soon as the UI is turned off, the profiling stops again.

Which is why the name is "Always enabled" and not "Currently enabled".

Flags

The set of flags that define how data is gathered.

Available options	Info
SPF_RECURSIVE	Data is gathered from the currently selected module and its children Data is per frame
SPF_RECURSIVE	Data is gathered from the currently selected module and its children Data is accumulated across frames
SPF_RESET	Data is only gathered from the currently selected module Data is per frame
SPF_NONE	Data is only gathered from the currently selected module Data is accumulated across frames

The meaning of flags:

• SPF_RECURSIVE: Enables profiling of child modules (recursively goes through them)
• SPF_RESET: Enables the clearing of data at the end of the frame (resets the data)

ⓘ

EnProfiler API Related:

• EnProfiler.c : enum EnProfilerFlags

Module

The module to be profiled.

Available options	Info
CORE	1_Core
GAMELIB	2_GameLib
GAME	3_Game
WORLD	4_World
MISSION	5_Mission
MISSION_CUSTOM	init.c

ⓘ

EnProfiler API Related:

• EnProfiler.c : enum EnProfilerModule
• EnProfiler.c : EnProfiler EnProfilerModule methods group

Update Interval

The amount of frames to wait before updating the sorted data. This also delays the reset caused by SPF_RESET.

ⓘ

Available options: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 60, 120, 144

ⓘ

EnProfiler API Related:

• EnProfiler.c : EnProfiler.SetInterval
• EnProfiler.c : EnProfiler.GetInterval

Average

Enable/disable the displaying and returning of averages. Of course, when the SPF_RESET flag is present and there is no interval, this will be the value itself.

When SPF_RESET flag is not present, it will divide by the session frame. When an interval is set, it will divide by the interval.

Class count will never be an average, it will always be the current count of the instance, allocations will be the average value of how many times an instance was created.

ⓘ

EnProfiler API Related:

• EnProfiler.c : EnProfiler.EnableAverage
• EnProfiler.c : EnProfiler.IsAverage

Time resolution

Set the time resolution to display time in. This is in the form of nth of a second.

So that means that 1 means in seconds and 1000 means in milliseconds.

ⓘ

Available options: 100000, 1000000, 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000

ⓘ

EnProfiler API Related:

• EnProfiler.c : EnProfiler.SetTimeResolution
• EnProfiler.c : EnProfiler.GetTimeResolution

(UI) scale

Sets the scale of the on-screen script profiler UI. Simply because there are different screens and resolutions, and this way you can tweak it to be better visible if necessary.

There is no EnProfiler API equivalent for this, as it is purely for the on-screen UI.

A set of debugging functionality and tools for the Central Economy.

⚠

Currently only "Building Stats" works in a multiplayer environment or when CE is turned off. All others in this category will need to be single player client only running a mission with CE enabled.

⚠

Some of these are also available through the CEApi in script in CentralEconomy.c.

Loot Spawn Edit

Set of debugging functionality and tools for loot spawns. The group which is targeted is the selected group for the functionality.

The steps used internally for creating loot points on one object:

1. Add map group with class name of the chosen object into mapgroupproto.xml.
2. Add desired containers within this map group (one or more).
3. Load the mission and export map group positions.
4. Apply the exported changes to the main xml and restart the game.
5. Find a place with the object.
6. Enable "Spawn Volume Vis", "Setup Vis" and "Edit Volume"
7. Go into free camera and start setting up the loot points.
8. Export the map group and apply to the mapgroupproto.xml.

Spawn Volume Vis

Visualizes loot spawn points and their volumes.

Option	Info
Off	No volume vis
Adaptive	Unedited volumes are flat, edited volumes show full volume
Volume	Volumes show full volume
Occupied	Adaptive, but only shows points that have loot spawned

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().LootSetSpawnVolumeVisualisation(enum ESpawnVolumeVis);

Setup Vis

Shows the properties of the CE setup on screen. The following screenshot has "Spawn Volume Vis" at Adaptive. As you can see, the colours of the volumes correspond with the colours of the containers in the on-screen debug.

Additionally this will also display certain setup errors.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().LootToggleSpawnSetup(bool);

Edit Volume

A tool to edit loot spawn points.

It is very much recommended to enable "Spawn Volume Vis" and "Setup Vis" while using.

⚠

Free camera needs to be enabled to use.

Key bind	Functionality

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().LootToggleVolumeEditing(bool);

Re-Trace Group Points

"Button" which triggers re-tracing of loot points in currently selected group or all groups when none is selected. Fixes hovering loot points.

⚠

For one group with small offsets it is pretty fast, retracing all groups can take a while.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().LootRetraceGroupPoints();

Spawn Candy

Spawns loot in all spawn points of either the currently selected group. It checks categories and tags of the container when selecting items for spawning. It does not honour nominals or spawn count, except for skipping items with 0 nominal.

When there is no selected group, it will spawn a FirstAidKit at the target cursor location.

Spawn Rotation Test

Spawn "AmmoBox_762x54_20Rnd" at target cursor position. The amount depends on the amount of rotation flags assigned to it.

Placement Test

Shows a "cylinder" made up out of spheres to see how placing interacts with the position. Pressing Insert will spawn "AmmoBox_762x54_20Rnd" at sphere positions.

Export Group

Will export the currently selected group into "storage/export/mapGroup_CLASSNAME.xml".

ⓘ

For example:

Running a single player mission located at "F:/Missions/ce.chernarusplus" while looking at "Land_House_2W02".

"F:/Missions/ce.chernarusplus/storage_-1/export/mapGroup_Land_House_2W02.xml".

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().LootExportGroup();

Export All Groups

Will export all groups into "storage/export/mapgroupproto.xml".

ⓘ

Script equivalents: (both do the same)

GetCEApi().ExportProxyProto();

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().EconomyLog(EconomyLogCategories.RespawnQueue);

Loot Tool

A collection of debug functionality for loot.

Deplete Lifetime

Depletes lifetime to 3 seconds, making it be scheduled for clean-up very soon.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().LootDepleteLifetime();

Set Damage = 1.0

Sets health to 0.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().LootSetDamageToOne();

Damage + Deplete

Performs both previously mentioned entries.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().LootDepleteAndDamage();

Invert Avoidance

Toggles player avoidance. (The system responsible for detecting if a player is nearby.)

Project Target Loot

⚠

"Loot Vis" must be enabled for this to work.

Will emulate the spawning of the item which is being looked at and generate images and output logs.

The image files will be visualizing the places where it currently spawned and all the places it could spawn. SpawnAnalyze is the emulated one displaying all the locations it can spawn.

These could be used to overlay on top of an image of the map to get a better idea of the locations.

Infected

A collection of debug functionality for infected.

Infected Vis

Visualizes the zones and locations of zombies and whether they are dead ( + ) or alive. The colours will be those that are assigned to the territory.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().InfectedToggleVisualisation(bool);

Infected Zone Info

Gives on-screen debug info when camera is inside of an infected zone. It helps to visualize the zones with "Infected Vis" when using this.

Do note that this is not updated every frame.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().InfectedToggleZoneInfo(bool);

Infected Spawn

Spawns an infected inside the currently selected zone. Selecting a zone is done by being inside it with the camera.

When no zone is selected, it will spawn "InfectedArmy" at cursor target.

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().AnimalAmbientSpawn();

Building

A collection of debug functionality for buildings.

Building Stats

On-screen debug regarding the state of a building.

Stats on the left will show whether a door is open/closed and free/locked.

The second and third line of a door entry are only relevant when <building init="1" .../> in economy.xml, as this enables the door randomization. initOpened is a value in config used for door randomization, the "rand" underneath is the random number which was generated. When rand < initOpened, the door will be spawned as opened. (So initOpened of 0 means that the door can never spawn in opened.)

The middle part displays stats regarding buildings.bin. This will only matter if there is one, which means that building persistency must be enabled in economy.xml. (<building ... save="1" ... load="1"/>)

To summarize some quick common <building/> setups:

Setup	Behaviour
<building init="0" load="0" respawn="0" save="0"/>	No persistency, no randomization, all doors will be in default state after a restart.
<building init="1" load="0" respawn="0" save="0"/>	No persistency, all door open/closed state will be randomized according to initOpened.
<building init="1" load="1" respawn="0" save="1"/>	Only saves locked doors, all door open/closed state will be randomized according to initOpened.
<building init="0" load="1" respawn="0" save="1"/>	Full persistency, saves full door state, no randomization, loads in exact same door state after a restart.

Examples with economy.xml set to <building init="1" load="1" respawn="0" save="1"/> (the values on official at current time of writing.)

In the following screenshot one door on one building on the map has been locked, so it shows "Auxiliary count: 1". But the building currently being looked at never had a locked door, so it is not part of 'auxiliary' (internal name for building storage).

After locking one door, the building is saved to auxiliary.

When unlocking the door, the building will be removed from auxiliary again, since with the current settings, it only cares about locked doors.

Opening/closing a door will not affect auxiliary with current settings either. (But it would if randomization wasn't enabled.)

Vehicle&Wreck Vis

Visualizes all objects registered to the "Vehicle" avoidance. This is all objects inheriting from Building or InventoryItem that are registered to dynamic events and all objects inheriting from Car (regardless of being registered to a DE).

Additionally it shows an on-screen debug with stats, which will remain for ~10 seconds after disabling.

Colour	Info
Yellow	Car
Pink	Wrecks (Building)
Blue	InventoryItem

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().ToggleVehicleAndWreckVisualisation(bool);

Loot Vis

On-screen debug showing Economy Data. Is not actually Loot exclusive as the name would imply, it will try to display Economy Data for anything you look at. So that includes Infected, Dynamic Events, etc.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().ToggleLootVisualisation(bool);

Cluster Vis

On-screen debug showing Trajectory DE stats.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().ToggleClusterVisualisation(bool);

Dynamic Events Status

On-screen debug showing DE stats.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().ToggleDynamicEventStatus(bool);

Dynamic Events Vis

This is a tool to place DE spawn points.

Visualizes DE spawn points as coloured spheres, these are large when far away, but become smaller when coming closer. Top right there will be some on-screen debug giving stats about a point near the cursor target.

Key bind	Functionality
[	Iterate backwards through available DE
]	Iterate forward through available DE
	Insert new point for selected DE
	Delete point nearest to cursor target
	Hold or click to rotate the angle

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().ToggleDynamicEventVisualisation(bool);

Dynamic Events Spawn

Spawns a dynamic event.

When "Dynamic Events Vis" is enabled and there is a "Nearby DE Point", it will spawn the DE belonging to that point. When "Dynamic Events Vis" is enabled and there is no "Nearby DE Point", it will spawn the DE belonging to the "Selected DE".

Otherwise it will spawn a "StaticChristmasTree".

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().DynamicEventSpawn();

Export Dyn Event

When "Dynamic Events Vis" is enabled, will export "Nearby DE Point" into "storage/export/eventSpawn_CLASSNAME.xml". This XML will contain all spawn points for that DE, including the ones added through "Dynamic Events Vis".

ⓘ

For example:

Running a single player mission located at "F:/Missions/ce.chernarusplus" while looking at a point for "VehicleTruck01".

"F:/Missions/ce.chernarusplus/storage_-1/export/eventSpawn_VehicleTruck01.xml".

When there is no selection it will export all DE points for all events into "storage/export/cfgeventspawns.xml".

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().DynamicEventExport();

Overall Stats

Shows an on-screen debug with stats regarding CE.

ⓘ

Script equivalent: GetCEApi().ToggleOverallStats(bool);

Updaters State

Shows an on-screen debug with what CE is currently doing.

Idle Mode

Enable/disable the CE Idle Mode which makes the CE sleep. When paired with "Updaters State" the difference in amount of tasks is very visible.

Force Save

Forces the saving of the entire storage/data folder (so everything except player database).

AI

Currently does not work in a multiplayer environment.

Show NavMesh

Draws debug shapes to visualize the navigation mesh. Additionally shows an on-screen debug with stats.

Key bind	Functionality
NUM 0	Register "Test start" at camera position
NUM 1	Regenerate tile at camera position
NUM 2	Regenerate tiles around camera position
NUM 3	Iterate forwards through visualization types
LAlt + NUM 3	Iterate backwards through visualization types
NUM 4	Register "Test end" at camera position Will draw a wireframe sphere at "Test start" and "Test end" and a line between them If a path was successfully found, they will be green, otherwise red When no "Test start" was selected through NUM0, "Test start" will be <0, 0, 0>
NUM 5	NavMesh nearest position test (SamplePosition) Will draw a blue wireframe sphere at camera position and pink wireframe sphere at result
NUM 6	NavMesh raycast test Will draw a blue wireframe sphere at camera position and pink wireframe sphere at result

Debug Pathgraph World

On-screen debug showing of many Path Job Requests have been completed and how many there are currently.

Debug Path Agent

Turns on on-screen debug and debug shapes regarding a "Path Agent" (AI).

This one is for when only interested in their pathing.

Target an AI to select it for tracking.

Debug AI Agent

Turns on on-screen debug and debug shapes regarding an AI.

This one is more for the alertness and behaviour of an AI.

Target an AI to select it for tracking.

ⓘ

Available options: none, ImGui, DbgUI, Engine

Option	Info
none	Default: no debug
ImGui	Separate screen debug made with dear ImGui, newest iteration, created to have all pros of the other two while fixing the cons. The settings of the separate window will be stored in profiles under the names "playing_sounds_imgui.ini" and "playing_sounds_imgui.bin"
DbgUI	Legacy Pros: Filtering by category, more readable Cons: Goes off screen, does not include vehicle category
Engine	Legacy Pros: Includes stats at the top, shows in real time what is happening with colour coding, contains a lot of data Cons: Goes off screen, no legend for the colour coding

Show system info

Shows on-screen debug stats of the sound system. Used to be paired with "Show playing samples" DbgUI option, is also visible in the other two "Show playing samples" options.
