Dev Tools

Description
NB! This mod is still in active development so bugs are expected. Thank you for your patience!

An extendable mod, that simplifies the most common tasks for both developers and testers as an alternative to debugkeys.

It was inspired by the abandoned DebugMenuScreen in the game engine, and it has originated from the private mod that I've created to assist myself and some of my friends in development.

"It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."

Made by developer for developers with love and attention to details as getting into the mods' development without a proper set of tools may become challenging. I hope this will help you in your journey.

API

API allows you to add your own submenu on the fly without bothering much with dependencies as long as the global DevToolsAPI is available. For example, you can create your mod-specific submenu from your mod with all the options you may need throughout the development/testing, and it will be displayed along with other Dev Tools submenus.

if getmetatable(_G).__declared.DevToolsAPI then local API = _G.DevToolsAPI if API and API:GetAPIVersion() <= 1 then API:AddSubmenu({ label = "Your Submenu", name = "YourSubmenu", options = { { type = MOD_DEV_TOOLS.OPTION.ACTION, options = { label = "Your Option", on_accept_fn = function() print("Hello World!") end, }, }, }, }) end end

Extendable

This mod has been designed to be extendable in mind allowing any developer to override pretty much any crucial part of it. You can completely override the menu or data without bothering implementing your own user interface (UI).

good mod, but the fact that it's a client mod is annoying, cause you have to remember to toggle it on and off and on and off every time you want to play a normal server instead of being able to turn it on a per server basis

󰀏Niko, Thank you! The fix has been shipped with v0.7.1.

I found a easy fix for the Wonkey/playerswap crash, more info in the Issue Reports discussion.

can you make a mod only pause @Demonblink
Shynaid 27 May, 2021 @ 6:23am 
@Demonblink Got it buddy, I already found one already that disables the console and the mod (too many items)
Thanks for the reply, your mods are very good
Demonblink  [author] 27 May, 2021 @ 2:44am 
@Scriturs, Currently I don't have time for modding, otherwise I would be happy to investigate this. First, I need to find time to update existing mods before creating a new one. But yeah, that kind of mod should be possible. I'll definitely look into this.

@Demonblink
Could you create a all clients mod(server-side) that disables the console and all administrator commands and privileges? I don't know if it's possible, is it possible?
For everyone to see and prove that it is not used, in addition to resisting temptation.
The point is: to prevent the Host, Admin, Owner of the server from being able to use console commands, (Block in some way) this would make it easier for him to prove that he did not use anything. And everyone would play smoothly.

咦，俺看不懂！
Demonblink  [author] 9 Sep, 2020 @ 3:03am 
@Furry Eskimo, Yes, this is possible. There are some functionality already integrated into this mod to get all tags (Utils.Entity.GetTags). The d_gettags console command will be fixed in the v0.3.0, and I will add more features regarding tags in that release as well.

@theironbubble, If a mod owner is an admin on the server, there should be an option for both free crafting and god mode on his/her side. Those options are still buggy though (at least for now) when it comes to other players as it's a client only mod and retrieving the remote player god mode state was an issue at some point.
