A few unlisted Debug functions

I was a little drunk when I ran this in game...

	for key,value in pairs(Debug) do
		GUI.DisplayMessageBox(key)
		while (GUI.IsDisplayBoxActive()) do
			coroutine.yield()
		end
	end

Anyways, found a couple unlisted debug commands that were being loaded. As well as the console stuff that I couldn't get working.
I know SetDebugKeyboardInputEnabled is not in any scripts at least. Tried setting it to true, but it didn't do anything obvious. Might be linked to AddLuaDebugKeyFunc and AddConsoleKeyShortcut which we've seen and been unable to use.

Debug.PrintAllCFunctionNames
Debug.ScaleConsoleForTelevisionScreen
Debug.SetDebugKeyboardInputEnabled
Debug.MakeGameGoFast
Debug.StartMGSProfiler
Debug.EnterTradingRoom
Debug.EnterGiftingRoom
Debug.SetConsoleOffsetY
Debug.ScriptDebugHelpOn
Debug.PlayerDebugPage
Debug.RebindInput
Debug.SetConsoleFontSize
Debug.ShowAssertScreen
Debug.AddLuaDebugKeyFunc
Debug.ScaleConsoleForMonitor
Debug.SetConsoleOffsetX
Debug.AddConsoleKeyShortcut

I'll take a closer look sometime tomorrow...

already play with this and I was sober, I will correct you a little

for key,value in pairs(Debug) do
	GUI.DisplayMessageBox(tostring(key))
	while (GUI.IsDisplayBoxActive()) do
		coroutine.yield()
	end
	GUI.DisplayMessageBox(tostring(value))
	while (GUI.IsDisplayBoxActive()) do
		coroutine.yield()
	end
end

and this also displays some things

for key,value in pairs(debug.getinfo(Debug.SetDebugKeyboardInputEnabled)) do
	GUI.DisplayMessageBox(tostring(key))
	while (GUI.IsDisplayBoxActive()) do
		coroutine.yield()
	end
	GUI.DisplayMessageBox(tostring(value))
	while (GUI.IsDisplayBoxActive()) do
		coroutine.yield()
	end
end

DisplayMessageBox is only display string, if parameter return integer you will see nothing
so, need to add 'tostring'

and we definitely need to get the console to work

Debug.MakeGameGoFast? Wonder how that works. Does it force everything to operate at an unnatural pace, or just help bump your framerate up? If it's the latter, I could use that... >:D

To whomever designed the map of Mistpeak Valley to look so much more simple than the actual level is: May the Archangel Michael descend from the heavens and plant his boot squarely between your legs for your asshattery.

it probably doing something with

Timing.SetWorldSecondsPerSecond(1.0, false)

where 1.0 is normal speed
< game go slow
> game go fast
AI will stuck if you change it

Good to know. Most of the code I write on a daily basis for work is IBM CL and SQL for an iseries. Everything else I've picked up as I go.

I've been poking at the console problem for a while now. I think we're running out of options to try. The only actual debug information I've gotten to come up is camera debug stuff and a few messed up hud panels.

Originally I was hoping they left in the io functions for lua so I could dump stuff to a file. But that doesn't look to be the case. And I haven't seen anything that lionhead added that would do it either.

I added Quasar's stuff to load new quests externally though so that I didn't have to rebuild a bank anytime I needed to make a change at least.

I was tempted to go ask on the official forums to see if a dev would like to help us out on getting the console working. BUT, you have to have an xbox gamertag to sign in. And that ain't happening.
