Oni has a well-hidden [[Developer Mode]] in which it can print informational output directly to the screen instead of writing to a text file. There are fully automatic warnings from the engine (e.g. about too many visible polygons or too many particles), or more or less regular printout (e.g., about a character's current animation status) that can be toggled through [[BSL:Variables|script variables]], or custom "dprint" messages that the developers used for visual feedback while testing [[BSL|scripts]]. Dev mode also has a togglable command line ("CMD: ") for entering script commands in real time. Both the debug printout and the command line use the main glyph-rendering pipeline (intercepted by xfhsm_oni.dll), with a small font size. This makes Dev mode essentially unusable in Chinese Oni, as most if not all of the debug printout or console output will be plain ASCII. | Oni has a well-hidden [[Developer Mode]] in which it can print informational output directly to the screen instead of writing to a text file.

Interestingly, | Interestingly, Oni ''does'' have some primitive debug printout that is not intercepted by xfhsm_oni.dll and thus is displayed normally using the smallest-sized TSFT from level0_Final's TSFFTahoma. All (most?) of the primitive printout is available without Dev mode. There is the Ctrl+Shift+Y hotkey (FPS display), some HUD-like overlays toggled by [[BSL:Variables|script variables]] (e.g., chr_debug_characters), and finally some 3D sprites added to the game (e.g., health indicators or name labels displayed above a character's head). | ||
