Added and Changed Debug Commands

This page lists debug commands whose player-facing availability, default binding, or behavior changed in TheSuperHackers engine source compared with the EA retail source release. It does not repeat unchanged debug commands from the In-Game Debug Commands page.

Source-only debug commands with no current default binding are intentionally omitted.

New Commands

Command Default Binding Available In Description
DEMO_BEGIN_ADJUST_DEFAULTPITCH Ctrl+, Generals and Zero Hour Starts adjusting the default camera pitch.
DEMO_END_ADJUST_DEFAULTPITCH Ctrl+, release Generals and Zero Hour Stops adjusting the default camera pitch.

Newly Available in Generals

These commands existed in the EA Zero Hour retail source, but not in the EA Generals retail source. The current TheSuperHackers source exposes them for both Generals and Zero Hour.

Command Default Binding Description
DEMO_SHOW_AUDIO_LOCATIONS Shift+Alt+A Toggles audio location markers.
DEMO_TOGGLE_SUPPLY_CENTER_PLACEMENT Shift+Alt+Ctrl+S Toggles supply-center placement logging/debugging.
DEBUG_OBJECT_ID_PERFORMANCE Shift+Alt+Ctrl+Q Runs ObjectID lookup performance tests.
DEBUG_DRAWABLE_ID_PERFORMANCE Shift+Alt+Ctrl+A Runs DrawableID lookup performance tests.
DEBUG_SLEEPY_UPDATE_PERFORMANCE Shift+Alt+Ctrl+W Reports the number of sleepy update modules.

Changed Commands

Command Default Binding Changed Behavior
DEMO_REMOVE_PREREQ Alt+P Retail toggled prerequisite checks for the local player only. The current source toggles the same state for every human player. In multiplayer, every client should apply the same state to avoid mismatches.
DEMO_INSTANT_BUILD Alt+F Retail toggled instant production for the local player only. The current source toggles the same state for every human player and ignores the command in multiplayer while any human player has production in progress.
DEMO_FREE_BUILD Alt+B Retail had the debug handler, but no default key binding. The current source generates a default binding and toggles zero-cost production for every human player. In multiplayer, every client should apply the same state to avoid mismatches.
DEMO_GIVE_ALL_SCIENCES Shift+Alt+Ctrl+K Retail granted all grantable sciences to the local player only. The current source grants them to every human player. In multiplayer, every client should run the command to avoid mismatches.
DEMO_INSTANT_QUIT Alt+F4 or window close Retail Generals closed directly from the window-close path, while retail Zero Hour routed close through this message. The current source routes close/end-session through DEMO_INSTANT_QUIT in both games and uses the current game quit flow.
