Debug Tools: Debugging screen, Map IO, Map Bounds and more!

Description
debug-tools
A powerful tool set for debugging entities and viewing map mechanisms (something like Map IO).

ConVars
developer <0/5> - Set developer message level.
  • If `developer` is greater than `1`, the entity debugging screen is activated.
  • If `developer` is greater than `3`, the debug map is activated, where you can see all previously hidden/secret entities.
  • If `developer` is greater than `4`, the display of the map center and its borders is activated.
  • `developer_io_distance` <128/16384> - Maximum rendering distance of map entities.
  • `developer_io_ignorez` <0/1> - Turns on/off the display of entities through walls.

Commands
  • `developer_time` - Outputs all in-game clocks in human-readable format.
  • `developer_entity` - Outputs all basic entity information to the console.
  • `developer_weapon` - Same as `developer_entity` but for active weapons, if you look at a player or npcs, their weapon will be in the results.
  • `developer_weapons` - Similar to `developer_weapon`, but outputs all weapons in the player's inventory.

Useful Convars
  • `mat_wireframe` <0/4> ( requires `sv_cheats 1` ) - Allows to display map and model rendering mesh through textures, useful for PVS and PAS tests.
  • `vcollide_wireframe` <0/1> ( requires `sv_cheats 1` ) - Rendering physics collision models in wireframe.
  • `cl_showhitboxes` <0/1> ( requires `sv_cheats 1` ) - Enables display of hitboxes on client.
  • `ent_messages_draw` <0/2> ( requires `sv_cheats 1` ) - Visualizes all entity I/O activity.
  • `net_graph` <0/4> - Performance monitor.

Doesn't appear to do anything anymore, but I believe this required an add-on that no longer exists. Welp
