DEBUG MONITOR suggestions

Recommended Posts

Few suggestions for debug monitor

Please consider adding new info's

SURVIVED: ( number of days/hours/minutes character survived .. ingame time )

TRAVELED: ( number of kilometers character traveled )

SERVER: ( server name ) Source: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1584

Removing info

As we have Blood & Tempreture icon's those should be removed from Debug Monitor.

Show info/numbers on Icons

If its possible add the info numbers by hoovering or clicking on : Temp, Blood, Water, Food. Edit: If not then maybe just add numbers bellow icons.

Changing the Debug Monitor UI:

Instead of having vertical windows we could have all info on top of the screen in horizontal fashion without any background.

example:

KILLS Zombies/Headshots: xxx/xxx Murderers/Bandits:xxx/xxx | Survived:20h 32mins TRAVELED:33,4 km | Zombies:xxx | Server: xxxxxxxxx

p.s. Please dont go offtopic, only post ideas for debug monitor. Ifyou like suggestions post /approve or /disaprove if you don't.

I'm pretty sure hovering over will not work due to the engine. What they could do is make a 100%transparent background Debug Monitor on top of the Blood and Temperature and put the numbers of them there instead.

You can see the server name by holding "I" button...

Agreed, you dont need the server name in debug as you can just press "I". the debug monitor should be as uncluttered as possible.

However given that it is called the "debug" monitor I kinda get this impression that it wont feature in the release version of the mod, I think its just and alpha/beta thing.

Why not remove the debug monitor all together - it currently contains no beneficial information:

Zombies killed - Not relevant, this does not make you any better or proves anything

Headshots - Not relevant, again - either the enemies are dead or not, no matter how they died

Murders - Not relevant, you know exactly well if you've killed a player

Bandits killed - Not relevant, if you've killed someone id'd as bandit, you are aware of it anyway

Blood: Status can be seen in hud icon

Zombies: Status varies on location and amount of players per server, number says nothing

Humanity: Status can currently be seen in humanity hud icon

Temperature: Status can be seen in temperature hud element, currently ok if its full (42° C)

Name: Completely redundant, except for people with a very bad memory. In this case you may want to consult a doctor (IRL).
