Client Debug mode
Start the game with -DebugInfo like this:
FOnline.exe -DebugInfo
- F1 shows a lot of statistics and additional info like exact map coordinates. Do not have F1 activated on the world map the game may crash to the desktop...
- F7 shows the NPC names.
- CTRL+F7 shows the IDs.
- F9 shows some kind of useless pathfinding stuff...
- F10 shows the grid.
- F11 saves all graphics loaded into the game engine's buffers to your HDD,
These are useful for debugging, but gives no any kind of advantages to the player. Note that if you encounter 3D objects like desert stalkers for example the 3D layers might get also visible ruining the game's visual look.
Also note that if you press F1 in debug mode on the world map the game may crash to the desktop...
