Modding tools

Chairloader includes a set of modding tools and utilities.

• Preditor: They are enabled by default
• Game: They can be enabled in Chairloader Mod Manager in Options:
  • Load Chairloader
  • Load Trainers
  • Load Editor
  • Dev Mode

Developer Console

This is the most basic tool. It lets you see game and mod logs, change console variables and execute console commands.

• Press ~ key to open the console.
• Use find some_text or ?some_text to look through different commands.
• Use some_command ? to see the help for a particular command/variable.
• Press TAB for auto-completion.
• Press Up Arrow and Down Arrow to repeat previous commands

Debug Menu

This is the debug menu that was used by the developers. It has a large number of options (e.g level loading, item spawning). Some of them don't work in the retail version of the game.

Trainer

This lets you inspect various things about the game and spawn items.

In-Game Editor

Note: This is a legacy editor mode that was a prototype for what later became Preditor. It may be removed in the future.

Press F4 to enter a freecam mode. In this mode, you can select entities with left-click and inspect their properties.

Scene View (Preditor only)

Press F4 to enter the scene view. In this mode, you can select entities with left-click and inspect their properties. Use the Tools panel to select different tools (e.g. Move, Rotate, Scale).

Use 3D Cursor tool to select arbitrary points in the game world. You can use it as a reference position for item spawning in XML files.
