[Scripting Question] How to enable Debug Mode if the setting script is separated from the Scripts.rxdata file?

[DamonRuru]

Hello!
I want to know if there is a way to enable debug mode for playing pokemon essentials game without RPG maker if the setting script is separated from the Scripts.rxdata?
as shown below:

I see in Github I just need to run scripts_combine.rb but when I run it, nothing is happening except for the windows command prompt to open up and then closed again.

Please help me, thank you :)

The "Main" here loads all the scripts that are in the Scripts folder. From the dev perspective, this is way more comfortable this way ^^"

To answer your question, and I don't know where I saw this but I have this info in my dev journal: on Windows, right click on the Game.exe, then click "create a shortcut". On the "target", you will see a long path to Game.exe; put "debug" (without the quotation marks) at the end.
NOTE: if the path to Game.exe is also between quotation marks, the "debug" word should be outside the quotation marks, just like this:

"C:Long/Path/To/Game.exe" debug

Thanks for the tips ^^
But sadly that will only work if played on PC but I intend to play on android using JoiPlay after I enabled debug mode in RPGXP :(
By any chance is there a way to compile all the scripts back to scripts.rxdata or maybe edit the settings individually?

In the Scripts folder, find 001_Technical\002_RGSS2Compatibility.rb, open it (use any notepad to open it), and at the very top, paste the line:

$DEBUG = true

It should do.

Now I don't know why you want all the scripts in Scripts.rxdata. The current Scripts.rxdata loads every script. There is a way to do it but I really don't understand why you want that so much.

1. Make a backup of the game.
2. Open the script scripts_combine.rb (you can use any notepad software to do that)
3. Copy the content of scripts_combine.rb and paste it to the Main script in RPG Maker.
4. Find the last line :
   

   Scripts.from_folder

   and replace it with:
   

   Scripts.from_folder("Data/Scripts", "Data/Scripts_New.rxdata")

   This will put all the scripts in the Script folder to a new file Scripts_New.rxdata.
5. Click "Apply" in the script editor of RPG Maker, then save, then close RPG Maker.
6. Go to the Data folder, find the file Scripts.rxdata, rename it Scripts_Old.rxdata.
7. Still in the Data folder, find the file Scripts_New.rxdata, rename it Scripts.rxdata.
8. That's it!

Ah thanks!
But not really, I don't want all the scripts, just the first method is enough so I can add debug mode :)
Thank you ^^

does it really work?

The quoted post allows you to start the game in debug mode, so yes, it does really work.
If you had tried, you would know.

Can I do this with any Fan Game, from Uranium to Infinity or the new Reborn?

If I'm not mistaken, those fangames use encrypted archives to store their data, including their scripts. This probably prevents this from working properly. So, you will have to try to be sure.

all right, anything I come back here if I need it

and where usually in Fan Games do I find this 001_Technical\002_RGSS2Compatibility.rb?

It's in Scripts.rxdata. But if you don't have the Game.rxproj, you won't be able to find it.

Why can't you do it? What do you do? How do you know it doesn't work?
Give information, and no, I don't want you to send me files.

 

[Abdo.laye500]

1) I already tried but it didn't work because my computer is not powerful enough
2) I tried on my best friend's computer as soon as I open the game it bugs
Those are two of my reasons.

 

[StCooler]

1) I already tried but it didn't work because my computer is not powerful enough

What do you mean, your computer is not powerful enough? This doesn't require power at all.
I assume it's because the game displays a black screen for a long time? If it does, it's because it's trying to decompile the PBS files, you shouldn't interrupt it.

2) I tried on my best friend's computer as soon as I open the game it bugs

Can you screen the error message?
I assume that you interrupted the decompilation because you thought it was bugged, and then you copied/pasted the folder to another computer, and tried running the game again, but as you interrupted it, you have incomplete files that the game tries to recompile, hence the error.

Thus, try the debug mode with a clean version, and give it time.

How i do to send m'y screen without URL

How i do to send m'y screen without URL

You can use postimages.org

Have you tried letting your game run with a clean version?
