Hi,

Can this debug ability be used in Visual Studio itself?

No. And that's not really planned. I thought about making a Visual Studio Code plugin that can use the Debugger but... Not yet and not soon.

If a skilled VS Code Extension maker guy thingymabob would like to do that though I'd be happy to help with the API.

What are the advantages of using Profiling branch instead of the Stable one?

profiling branch provides important hooks for the debugger

without those, you might still use it but some things mightn ot work as intended

You'll see it when you start the Game with the Debugger. Most of the stuff only works with Profiling builds. But you can still get basic functionality with non-profiling builds though.

But everything is optimized around profiling builds because this is a serious development tool. And a serious developer might already want profiling build to profile their scripts performance and stuff.

You have to run Arma first. The Debugger get's activated after Arma goes into fullscreen.

The debugger is essentially a Game hack. So AV warning and stuff is to be expected. But all source is public and the builds come from an external build server so it's guaranteed that only the source that's visible on Github is what ends up in the final binary. So if you're worrying about malicousness you could check every line of code yourself.

Is it possible to use this tool for the running scripts from Client, HeadlessClient & Dedicated Server at the same time, while it all runs in a Multiplayer Session on the same machine through localhost?

Aslong as it's open source it is fine. Community would rip him apart if he does baddy/dangerous things in his code ;)

Just disable BE, maybe it gets even whitelisted with BI approval

@dedmen if that day ever comes, you may want to join forces with @SkaceKachna@nevada_scout, and @armitxes better than having us 4 all doing our own thing.

Currently you can only have one Instance per machine. Future holds Remote Debugging over TCP and multi-instance local stuff.

I hope we won't get BE whitelisted. Future will allow to execute code on breakpoint or have SQF code conditions on breakpoints. That would allow anyone to execute any script they want. Bad stuff!

 

Well. The Debugger is open source. I don't have time to do any more projects. But if you want to use it feel free to do so.

technically, you guys also could join the ArmA.Studio project :P

IDE just got released and will feature more down the line to help ArmA developers in every aspect possible

eg. it is planned to include a UI editor later

also planned: stringtable editor

 

all that however, still requires to have some systems to be implemented

If it is, then in wich way is it multiplayer compatible (currently)?

The Debugger works in multiplayer just like everywhere else. Just not with Battleye. But you will get a timeout if you break too long ^^

So you could debug a packed pbo with a dedicated enviroment?

Yes. You can debug any script in any environment where the Debugger works. which is 32/64 bit windows.
