Debug Console no longer appears in single player missions
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Debug console is no longer available in exported single player scenarios.

Settting enableDebugConsole to 1 or 2 in description.ext has no effect as debug does not appear when mission is paused.

Setting DebugConsole via editor attributes/general/states to "available for host or logged admin" or "available to everyone" has no effect.

Hello.

After some discussion regarding this issue we have come to the conclusion that this was a bug in the game. The Debug console can be enabled in Multiplayer if certain criteria are met, however it should not be available in singleplayer scenarios.

You can find on our wiki where you can use the debug console and indeed singleplayer is not there. So I am afraid that this is by design.
