== Debug mode ==<br />
<br />
''Debug mode'' is a special feature that makes it easier for developers/contributors to test out game features without needing to play a new game from scratch. After setting "debug: true" in the [[Options (OpenXcom)#Options File|Options File]], you can enable it by pressing ''Ctrl-D'' in-game to access a variety of features:<br />
<br />
'''Geoscape''': Unlocks all research and shows globe country and region borders. Clicking on the globe returns the point coordinates.<br />
This option can be toggled, and toggles between showing country borders, regional borders, and mission zones.<br />
<br />
'''Battlescape''': Whole map is revealed and opening the inventory screen resets TUs. Clicking the map returns the point coordinates. With traceAI enabled in the config, AI behavior is revealed and logged. '''Please note''', in debug mode QuickSave/QuickLoad feature in Battlescape are completely disabled.<br />
<br />
''Ctrl-V'' will reset visibility on all tiles, useful for observing LOS behaviour.<br />
<br />
''Ctrl-K'' will kill all live aliens in the mission (nothing will be recovered).<br />
<br />
You can also press ''Ctrl-U'' or set "debugUi: true" to reveal the borders of the interface text, to debug translation errors.<br />
