Editing Tuxemon Debug Console

Tuxemon comes with command line that you can use for debugging purposes. The Tuxemon command line console provides you with a *full* python shell and access to all in-game functions and variables. This page will give you some examples on how you can use the Tuxemon CLI to do things like give yourself monsters or start battles.

== Enabling the CLI ==
To enable to Tuxemon command line, edit the <code>tuxemon.cfg</code> configuration file with a text editor and change <code>cli_enabled</code> to <code>1</code>.

After enabling the CLI, run Tuxemon from the command line:

<code>python ./tuxemon.py</code>

== Using the CLI ==
=== Introduction ===
After launching Tuxemon from the command line, you should get a prompt that looks like this:

<code>Tuxemon>> </code>

To start a python shell, enter the following command:

<code>Tuxemon>> python</code>

You should now get a python shell prompt that looks like this:

<code>>>> </code>

From here, you can execute arbitrary Python code. To access the game's objects and variables, use <code>self.app</code>.

'''Examples'''

    python
    >>> print self.app
    <core.tools.Control object at 0x7f4365302e90>
    

    python
    >>> from pprint import pprint
    >>> pprint(self.app.__dict__)
    {'animations': {},
     'caption': 'Tuxemon',
     'cli': <core.components.cli.CommandLine instance at     0x7f436532bc68>,
     'clock': <Clock(fps=62.50)>,
     'config': <core.components.config.Config object at     0x7f4367617810>,
     'current_music': {'song': None, 'status': 'stopped'},
     'current_time': 383013,
     'done': False,
     'event_actions': {},
     'event_conditions': {},
     'event_data': {},
     'event_engine': <core.components.event.EventEngine object at 0x7f436530c0d0>,
     'event_persist': {},
    ...


    python
    >>> dir(self.app)
    ['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'animations', 'caption', 'cli', 'clock', 'config', 'controller_event_loop', 'current_music', 'current_time', 'done', 'event_actions', 'event_conditions', 'event_data', 'event_engine', 'event_loop', 'event_persist', 'events', 'exit', 'flip_state', 'fps', 'imports', 'joystick_event_loop', 'key_events', 'keyboard_events', 'keys', 'main', 'main_loop', 'network_event_loop', 'network_events', 'player1', 'rumble', 'rumble_manager', 'screen', 'server', 'setup_states', 'show_fps', 'state', 'state_dict', 'state_name', 'time_passed_seconds', 'toggle_show_fps', 'update']

=== Adding Monsters ===
You can add a monster to your party by typing the following into the Tuxemon python shell:

    python
    >>> action = self.app.event_engine.execute_action
    >>> action("add_monster", ("rockitten", 20))

In this example, we add the monster "Fruitera" at level 20 to the player's monsters.

=== Adding Items ===
You can add an item to your inventory by typing the following into the Tuxemon python shell:

    python
    >>> action = self.app.event_engine.execute_action
    >>> action("add_item", ("potion",))

In this example, we add the item "Potion" to the player's inventory.

=== Start NPC Battle ===
You can start combat by typing the following into the Tuxemon python shell:

    python
    >>> from core.components.event.actions.combat import Combat
    >>> Combat().start_battle(self.app, (None, '1'))

This example starts a battle with the NPC with ID "1".

=== Start Random Battle ===
You can start a random battle by typing the following into the Tuxemon python shell:

    python
    >>> from core.components.event.actions.combat import Combat
    >>> Combat().random_encounter(self.app, (None, '1'))

This example will possibly start a battle with monsters from encounter group "1". Executing this is the same as stepping into a random encounter area, which may or may not trigger a battle depending on the monster's encounter rate in the encounter group.
