Developer Mode is a bundle of features created by [[Bungie West]] to help them develop [[Oni]]: a console line for entering scripting commands, manual camera controls, and various debugging features. It is traditionally enabled by the [[Cheats|cheat code]] '''thedayismine''' (see "Unlocking it" below before trying the code).
Developer Mode is a bundle of features created by [[Bungie West]] to help them develop [[Oni]]: a console line for entering scripting commands, manual camera controls, and various debugging features. It was traditionally activated with the [[Cheats|cheat code]] '''thedayismine''', but see "Unlocking it" and "Activating it" below before trying the code.


Despite being hinted at by a crate texture (right) and leaked as part of a list of cheat codes during beta testing, this cheat code did not work upon Oni's release, and it was long believed that Developer Mode had been cut from retail versions of Oni. However, Dev Mode is actually present in ''all'' available versions of Oni. It just needed to be unlocked, as the community learned [[History_of_Oni_modding/The_tale_of_Dev_Mode|back in 2006]].

The easiest way to check whether that output works at all is to press '''F8''': the character class change is acknowledged with a console message.

If you don't see anything, that means console output is unfortunately disabled in your version of Oni. If you're using the Windows version of Oni and you applied Ian's patch (the old WinXP patch, no longer offered because it is superseded by the Daodan DLL), that may be what disabled console output. In Windows demo Oni, both console output and console input are invisible (i.e. you can enter script commands, but you're "blindfolded").
