Ingame troubleshooting

Post by **Survivor** » Wed Dec 28, 2005 7:13 pm

In my history of making maps I never cared too much about performance of the map. I never used the ingame commands like show tris and such. If someone here could please explain all the commands they use ingame when troubleshooting maps I would be very thankful. It's always good to learn more :icon30:

\devmap
\r_speeds 1
\r_showtris 1
\r_clear
\noclip

r_clear clears the graphics frame buffer every frame so you don't get the crazy HOM warping effect when you noclip outside your level. It also shows up holes in the level as clear as day.

r_speeds gives numerical output of how many triangles are being drawn at any point, as well as some other gubbins.

r_showtris... you'll see for yourself.

There are some more commands useful for bots but I dont know em.

Well, hopefully if you've got a hole in your level the pointfile will show you where it is... but nevertheless the r_clear command is very usefull.
