Ok, so I'm trying to hide my HUD in JTL a few nights back and instead of hitting CTRL+SHIFT+H, I hit CTRL+SHIFT+G. So what pops up? A debug window that gives some rather impressive stats about you and your surroundings.

In this window you get the coordinates (according to the game server) of your character, you camera's coordinates in the world, the number of objects loaded, a more accurate ping meter that doesn't freeze during a shuttle warp, a more accurate bandwidth meter, more accurate FPS meter.

I believe this to be the back-end GUI for the devs for the simplified network status window that you can call up using the options pane. This one doesn't freeze during shuttle warps, I believe the freezing network window glitch is related to the data transfer subroutine that is used to pipe the data from the back end GUI to the simplified GUI.

This tool might be helpful when reporting environment bugs as well as client crashes ( you can tell SOE EXACTLY where you were). This window also gives you the current "planet" time. 5 real life seconds = 1 SWG minute.

Key Squence: CTRL+SHIFT+G

There are a number of status displays that are on the window that I have yet to determine thier function (namely those pertaining to the "terrain" status, the output monitors are in the variable names alone, no other clues).

I forgot to mention that you also get the current terrain buffer in memory ( I typically run 250MB of 750MB for some reason, I need to figure out how to boost this buffer inorder to handle Coronet (aka Spamtown) on kett.).

I hope this helps some people. It helped me on figuruing out if I'd been booted.
