DevCon - the developer console

[.kju [PvPscene]]

This is more like a first preview release of the DevCon.
Still it is already very powerful and most developers should find it very useful.

Much thanks to Karel Mořický (Gaia) - his debug console and advanced camera
mode are the inspiration, base and foundation of the DevCon.
Also thanks to Carl Gustaffa for several good ideas.

This is beautiful. I remember you talking about this last year but had no idea you made so much progress! I can't wait to check it out!

What exactly does this do? Is this for mission makers? I'm a bit confused, sorry. I checked the roadmap and if this is what I think it is it sounds awesome.

[Loyalguard]

I don't want to speak for PvP, but yes...it is for mission makers, scripters, addon makers, or anyone else editing in ArmA. It allows you to check status of variables in game, execute new code in-game with locality options (local, remote, server), enables a debugging camera, gives updates in-game as to what the player is looking at and other variables, makes the player invincible for testing purposes. Many of these features can be turned on and off as the editor desires.

Essentially, it is an invaluable tool!
