Message:

Developer's mode. Is a ConfigValue, by default on except in release mode. If on it should help the developer, if off, it should obscure things we don't want the user to have to deal with.
So far it ticks the showAll button in the Singleplayer and Host menu, if on. It also sets the start countdown to 0 if on.
If you have some more ideas on how to make life easier for both developers and users, feel free to implement it yourself ot mention it to me.
