• gpu_temp : Displays current GPU temperature
• core_load : Displays current CPU load per core
• font_size : Changes the default font size (default is 24)
• width : Set custom hud width
• height : Set custom hud height
• position=x: Available values for x include top-left, top-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right

Note: Width and Height are set automatically based on the font_size, but can be overridden.

Example: MANGOHUD_CONFIG=cpu_temp,gpu_temp,position=top-right,height=500,font_size=32

Environment Variables

• MANGOHUD_OUTPUT : Define name and location of the output file (Required for logging)
• MANGOHUD_FONT: Change default font (set location to .TTF/.OTF file )

When you toggle logging (using the keybind F2), a file is created with your chosen name (using MANGOHUD_OUTPUT) plus a date & timestamp.

This file can be uploaded to Flightlessmango.com to create graphs automatically. you can share the created page with others, just link it.

Multiple log files

It's possible to upload multiple files when using Flightlessmango.com. You can rename them to your preferred names and upload them in a batch. These filenames will be used as the legend in the graph.
