Enabling Debug Mode without RPGMakerXP

How can I enable Debug Mode for my game without using the Playtest feature in RPG Maker XP? I'm trying to get a couple of friends to test my game and check for bugs, and it would save a lot of hassle if I can just send them the game files without having to get them to install RPG Maker.

Welcome to the forum!

Insert this line at the beginning of the "Settings" script.


That should do it.

Thank you. It worked Perfectly

How do I open the "Settings" Script? It would be a big help if you could tell me

Open your game.exe (with windows icons):


Then press F11 to open your script (or click "Script Editor"):


Your first script will be 'Setting' script:


To find a single def or code, you can use 'CTRL + F', to find inside actual script (like you see above, if i press CTRL + F i will search inside 'Setting' script);
To find a single def or code in All Script inside Script Editor, use 'CTRL + SHIFT + F'.

Also, see all the videos tutorials:

Then you just buy the full version. It really isn't expensive and it's a one time purchase.

And if you wait for a Steam sale, it's even cheaper - usually goes down to only $5, though the last sale had it at even less!

There are games that doesn't have the PBS files..so it's useless trying to activate Debug mode...

This file is typically not distributed with the game, because most devs don't want their game to be modified by players.

If the devs don't want to share this file, there is no way to retrieve it.
You can ask the devs directly, although I assume they will refuse to give you the unpacked data.

I try to enable debug mode but this error happens, i hope someone can help me
