::* console messages appear in the top-left of the player's HUD (amount of lines shown adjustable by {{cmd|contimes}} cvar)
::* execution of [[:Category:Developer mode commands|certain commands]] like {{command|ent_text}} and {{command|npc_kill}} is allowed
::* [[VPhysics]] penetration errors are displayed in the [[Map_(level_design)|map]]
::* console logs {{command|exec}}-ed scripts
::* etc.
*2: More debugging information; console displays:
::* [[Inputs_and_Outputs|input/output]] events

::* etc.
*3: Same as 2, but with more console messages {{todo|Does this introduce any of the debugging stuff otherwise associated with 4?}}
