My god... please no, do not use
If really you want to see the variables, either use the developer menu, a dedicated tool, or the attached file ; it add a command named "variables" to the console, that will display what the developer "variable viewer" would have shown.
dir(), it will present you tons of variables, with less than 5% of them being related to the game, and even fewer being effectively significant.

What do you mean by "implement" ?
You download the file, and put it in the "game" directory, nothing more. Of course, you need to do this before you start the game.

EDITED because I had inverted the meaning of escaped and unescaped, as noticed in this reply.

That's great! Thanks!
I have a minor issue with strings containing unicode characters not correctly
Actually I think it's an issue of Ren'Py console itself, because according to documentation to escape unicode characters (rather than printing them as they are, which is the default) the user of the console should simply give the command
escape to enable escaping, and unescape to set it back the default behaviour. But while, for instance, command long actually works as per documentation to have console output unabridged, commands escape and unescape seemFor instance in game "Bright Past" there's a variable named
waiting containing cyrillics.If I simply call it form console, it's printed
escapeunescape being active).To bypass this issue in the console I've found the workaround of giving the inline python command
$ print(waiting)and this prints on the console the correctly unescaped cyrillics (see screenshot)
I was wondering if you could suggest me a similar workaround to let unicode characters being unescaped also using your
variables command.For your convenience i write here the
Code:
waiting: u'\u041f\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0436\u0434\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0438\u044f \u0441\u043e\u0431\u044b\u0442\u0438\u0439'
Подождать развития событийI have tryed adding the unicode
u prefix here, but nothing changes.
Any suggestions? Thanks in avance!

Hmm, it's the opposite, the result of
print is the not escaped string.Because, to simplify, the 'u' prefix only apply at preprocessing time.
This being said, to directly have the unescaped version, just remove the
repr:print ( "{}: {}".format( e, getattr( store, e ) ) ).But depending on the version of Ren'Py, I don't guaranty that it will not be breaking in a way or another.
I included the
repr because I know by experience that some dev are really dirty, and few time I have "broken screens" (just relatively broken of course), because of really weird strings.Well... It works like charm, at least with the game "Bright Past": just what I needed, thank you very much!
Do you know if it is somehow possible to define a custom console command which takes a parameter?
Because - for now - in order to print only the variables beginning with "npc" I have hardcoded such a filter changing your
Code:
if e.startswith( "_" ): continue
Code:
if e.startswith( "_" ): continue
if not e.startswith( "npc" ): continueIt would be cool if the user coud type
variables <arg1> and this argument being passed to your code, so I could update my tweak to
Code:
if e.startswith( "_" ): continue
if not e.startswith( args[0] ): continueargs[0] should be substituted with the proper parameter name used by Ren'Py, if Ren'Py Console is able to pass it to the code like c# does... I tryed googling, but I found nothing.

Normally you should find the arguments in the
l variable ; the one declared as argument for
varListIt is indeed a Lexer object containing the arguments: thanks for your hint that helped me achieve my purpose!
In the attachment a tweak to your
variables Console commad.It accepts an optional <filter> parameter.
If called from Console with no parameter, it lists all variables.
If called from Console with a <filter> parameter, it lists only those variables containing <filter> as a substring of their name.
(If called with more than one parameter, the first parameter is used as <filter> and the other parameters are discarded.)
I decided to drop my file here because I think it could be useful for beginners like me, and for feedback should I have made any mistakes.
