Debug/Developement Tools - Tracking Issue

[Rozelette]

This is a tracking tool for a set of tools I intend to create for debugging in-game issues and mod development. This will be things like save editor, actor manipulation, collision visualization, and more. These will be implemented through a mix of ImGui windows, console commands, and cVars. For feature inspiration, gz is a good source. This is not a complete list so feel free to suggest additional features or to open your own PRs.

• Debugging Tools
  • Pause / resume
  • Frame advance
  • Virtual controller (TAS-like, set buttons/stick positions for each frame)
• Save Editor (Everything in SaveContext)

@Rozelette looks like the comment here was last updated in may, are the checkboxes up to date?

I can at least speak for Actor Manager: Visualize actor lists since that can be done with the current actor viewer. (Could be something I pick up again when I have the time...?)

I’ve got somewhat of a DL editor working on my dl-viewer branch, mostly works with colors though
