Overview

The following list is the possible options for putting into a debug_filter.cfg which should be located in your FreeSpace2 Data directory (Freespace2/data for 3.7.4 or earlier on Windows, %APPDATA%\HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\data for everywhere else).

A '+' means that the item listed will have output generated to the fs2_open.log or Fred2_open.log. A '-' means to disregard those items and not print output from them.

Strings are not case-sensitive as they are checked with stricmp().
