I had them at one point.
If you have a linux or unix or unixy machine available, or know someone that does, do 'strings secondlife.exe > out.txt' and you should get a nice text file with everything readable in the exe.
There's some neat stuff in there, the entire LSL tooltip guide, debug settings, bunches of UUID's, fun stuff.

(it's not reverse engineering either. All this does is pluck out readable text from the rest of the stuff that doesn't make sense to us)

I have a string extractor program and have extracted the strings from the secondlife.exe file.

Unfortunately I don't believe the debug settings variables are stored in a recognizable, contiguous chunk.

It's be really really nice to have the setting names along with the descriptions and default values shown in the Client Debug Settings display.

I'd like to be able to a text search on substrings in the variable names and in the descriptions as well, and put them into a wiki.

I'm once again looking for a complete listing of all Debug Settings.

I know of the one in Torley's user pages in the wiki; I don't believe it's complete.

The particular one I am trying to find is one that determines if your home gets reset when you leave Help Island. I think I saw one for that. I might have even seen a menu option for that.

:)

Although someone noted it as out of date I see just now, anyone just needs to add any new ones in 1.20 that aren't in 1.19, did anything change with that?

I was going to respond to this thread but then forgot :o.

The debug settings are in app_settings/settings.xml starting with the 1.20 viewer.

The actual code is:
if (sim has "set home to destination on tp" flag set) and (agent is not godlike) then reset home

Admin / View Admin Options will make the viewer treat you as "godlike" so checking that should work fine (it enables Teleport Home as well and I generally just tp home from an HI which solves the problem neatly as well)

Thanks, Kitty.

What's a good way to view the xml file in an easier to read format, such as perhaps using tags as column headers in a spreadsheet format, or being able to see just the variable name, comment, definition, and value , or other such forms as that?
