Frames per second info

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 5:59 am

This is probably not the correct forum to ask in, but since I am testing my mod, I figured it was okay....I have looked high and low in game settings, controls, and in the forums, but can't seem to located how I can get the "FPS" (Frames/Second) to show in game. Is there a console command or something I can use because I can't find anything in game settings (either that or I may be going blind :facepalm: )?

Thanks.

There is a console command for it, it's TDT but I know there's more to it than that. Personally I use Fraps for screenshots so I just enabled the FPS display in that.

Humm....didn't think about that. I should probably have Fraps anyway in case I want to do a video , so that is probably a good way to go. I'll also look into the TDT console command.
Thanks much!

There are a few articles on the GECK wiki, such as this on http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/ToggleDebugText, even though the http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Debug_Text (for TES games, but using nearly the same engine) goes into greater depth.

The debug text console functions don't work. When I want to look at the frame rate, I have a script print the reciprocal of http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetSecondsPassed to the console. Preferably the average value over a few frames.

Thanks all for the input....glad to know I wasn't going blind and overlooking something simple. The scripting way is very interesting Cipscis, and I might play around with that since I am trying to learn scripting and have been using your tutorials------great job, BTW!.....thanks for those. :thumbsup:

No, that doesn't work with Fallout 3, you'll need to use FRAPS or something similar. TDT only works with Oblivion.

According to the wiki, it is http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/SetDebugText that doesn't work with the release versions of Fallout 3.

No, I just tried it. TDT doesn't do anything anymore.
