So both SHIFTs and the MINUS key located at the NUMERIC keypad SIMULTANEOUSLY. The debugger was mainly useful for the programmers at Sierra, but some things like changing variables can be easily done. Changing the variables allows one for instance to change the current room of the ego/player or to activate the script debugger, giving access to more (easy to use) functions. | ||

You can also use the internal debugger. Activate the debugger directly after executing the game. Don't try this on anything higher than a 386, but rather use DOSBox with 3000 CPU cycles or so. When the debugger shows up, change global variable 100 into 1 and exit the debugger. The main difference with the other activation methods is that you'll get a room selector at the beginning and the copy-protection is disabled. Both versions support this. | |||

The debug mode also activates some extra features, mainly in the last scenes of the game. Larry doesn't die after falling in and around the vulcano and the items for the final act are given. Earlier in the game, on the ship, a message is displayed when entering your cabin, giving information on the (coming) presence of "Mama". | |||

The debug mode has some extra effects, for example limiting the actions required at the gym to five times and giving extra debug information at some parts, like the copy-protection sequence in the casino. | |||
It also activates some "game state" modifiers. In the casino, go upstairs and walk to the right, to the room with mirror and bar entrance. Commands you can use here are: | |||

|} | |||
Furthermore, the self-running demo of LSL3 has the same debug mode, but also includes a room-selector at the beginning. It can be activated by extracting SCRIPT.000 from the RESOURCE files (the easiest way being SCI DECODER v1.0) and in addition changing the byte at offset 0x64 to "00" (instead of the original "01"). Beware that it's not really worth it, since it's pretty much the same deal and lots of missing resources cause it to crash easily. Fun fact: The phrase to activate the debug mode in the demo (and likely early in development too) is "shit bush". | |||
An additional option is available in the non-English versions of the game, regardless if the debug mode is activated or not. It can be activated by typing "adjust bambi": It toggles (room) information to be displayed on the menu bar. This option doesn't seem work in any of the English versions however. | |||

Technically this is a SCI1 game, however visually it's indiscernible from the other SCI0 games, therefore this (plain wrong) classification. As with most SCI1 interpreters, this game does not have an internal debugger. The demo version however, does provide it, and its interpreter can be used with the full version. This may have some restrictions, since some versions of the game use a more recent interpreter than the demo, which potentially can cause problems. Please refer to 5.1 on how to swap interpreters in the early SCI1 games. | |||

The internal debugger has been removed from pretty much most (public) releases of the games. You can still use the key combination [SHIFT + SHIFT + MINUS], but it will throw you out of the game, due to the absence of the debugger. That said, internal SCI1 debuggers are not non-existant (early versions, like the interpreter distributed with "Jones in the Fast Lane", still have their debugger) and work just like the SCI0 ones. | ||
Also, script debuggers have survived in a bunch of games. The way of activating them depends mainly on the version of the SCI interpreter. | |||

An empty file won't do the trick, since the external scripts override the ones in the packed resource. | ||

Older SCI1 interpreters (pre-1991) can be swapped with other (newer) ones, which creates the possibility to use the debugger within other games. The best option is to use the XMAS Card 1990 interpreters, since they are freely available, come in both video modes (which has to match the game), include a parser and are the last pre-1991 interpreters made. So all in all it renders them compatible for all early SCI1 games. | |||

Unlike the disk-based version, the CD-ROM version has a debug mode that cannot be activated in-game. An older 0.SCR in the RESOURCE file reveals that originally the version number was checked in order to activate the debug mode (a routine like used in Police Quest 3, but not functioning in this case). The 0.SCR as used by the game is a newer version, residing outside the RESOURCE file. Enable the debug mode by editing this script and changing the byte at offset 0x877 to "01" (instead of the original "00"). | |||

As mentioned, there are other debug features: While on the plane, a menu is available to select which dream-interlude will play. A way of activating it would be extracting script 320 and changing the byte at offset 0x14 to "1C" (instead of the original "1A"). Apart from that, there also seems to be a way to skip the copy-protection sequence. | |||
===== Game specific: Police Quest 3 ===== | |||
Rename/remove the file "version" in your PQ3 directory, or set the attribute to "read-only". | |||
This will give you some options at the beginning to configure which flags should be set and where/when you will start the game. Most of them won't work however! | |||
===== Game specific: Space Quest 4 (beta) ===== | |||
Somewhere in 1991, the cracking group The Humble Guys released a beta version of Space Quest 4. Someone named "Beamer" typed up a list back then describing the debug functions and based on that, I made the following list. Eventually I got the beta myself and only a small correction was needed. The debug mode doesn't need activation, offers a room selector at the beginning and supports the following commands: | |||

==== | ==== SCI version > 1.001.000 (SCI11) ==== | ||
At the time of writing, VAG's SCIResDump can be used for games using an interpreter > 1.001.000. This is a bit tricky, but beats any other manual method. Refer to its documentation on further use. When dumping the files, it would be advisable to dump, apart from the SCR file, the accompanying HEP and TEX file. Some debug modes will not work properly without them. | |||
{| border="1" | Besides giving you the usual debug options, some include a "Where to?" dialog. Basically, this is a room selector and sometimes gives you the opportunity to set various flags/variables at the beginning of the game, so you can for example start halfway in the game or so. | ||
|- | |||
===== Game specific: EcoQuest 2 ===== | |||
The "magic" script is 98. Extract 98.SCR & 98.HEP | |||
This debug mode however, is partially removed or something. Only the "Where to?" room select dialog on start will appear, the rest of the keys won't work. | |||
===== Game specific: Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist ===== | |||
The "magic" script is 10. However, this script cannot be found in the English release of Freddy Pharkas. Extract 10.SCR/10.HEP/10.TEX from the RESOURCE.MSG file (instead of the usual RESOURCE.000) in a NON-ENGLISH(!) release. I've tested this with the German, Spanish and French release. The extracted script will work with every version of the game (so including the English one). | |||

===== Game specific: Quest for Glory (SCI remake) ===== | |||
The "magic" script is 298. However, it's not available anymore in the game's resource files. So to activate the debug mode, debug scripts from another game should be used. You can use the script from either The Dagger of Amon Ra or Police Quest (SCI remake). The files should be renamed to 298.SCR/298.HEP/298.TEX. | |||
Now the "Where to?" dialog works, while the remaining functions don't. Perhaps the scripts used are not fully compatible with this game. | |||

=== | ===== Game specific: Space Quest 5 (beta) ===== | ||
The Space Quest series seem to be the major victim of leaked betas at Sierra. A Space Quest 5 beta version was released by some group, back in 1993. This beta was actually a reviewer's copy and included a script debugger (but no internal debugger). This script debugger is removed in the public releases. | |||

This probably is the buggiest debug mode, thus not really interesting. What is somewhat interesting though, is that the "magic" script (10), can only be found in the CD version of the game.

=== SCI32 === | |||
In the beginning, SCI32 games had the same activation procedure as SCI11 games. In this FAQ, this will be called the "Traditional" method. However, at a certain point, this procedure got replaced by the so-called "CLASSES" method. Both are explained below. | |||
==== Internal Debugger ==== | |||
There are a couple of SCI32 interpreters with an internal debugger. The currently known versions are bundled with demos (Gabriel Knight 2, Shivers, Hoyle Classic Games) and can be activated by pushing the [`] key, usually above [TAB]. | |||

This particular interpreter also supports the following command line parameters: | |||
{| border="1" | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | | -c||Cursor display for resource loading (e.g. -c958 for cursor 958) | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | | -E||Extract resources (in VOLs) to current directory (e.g. -E*.v56) | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | | -i||Integrity checking(?) (default is on; use -i0 to turn off) | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | | -k||Set kernel calls between integrity checks (default is 50,000) | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | | -m||Max. memory to use (examples: -m1M -m1024K -m1048576 -m$fffff) | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | | -p||Play digital audio sample (examples: -P100.WAV -PA0010203.045) | ||
|} | |||
So to use this, start the game using the command line, e.g. "SCIW -i0 -m1M". | |||
==== "Traditional" method ==== | |||
The "Traditional" method is the same method as the SCI11 one: It relies on extracting scripts from the RESOURCE or RESMAP file. Again, at the time of writing, VAG's SCIResDump is the tool to use. Please refer to its documention on further use. | |||

==== "CLASSES" method ==== | |||
The later SCI32 games (1995-1997) use the "CLASSES" method. They depend on a file in the game directory, called "CLASSES". This can be an empty file. It's checked on existance by some code in the script, if found, the debug mode gets activated. "AUTOTP" as an empty file has an effect too in some cases, however its purpose is not fully clear to me. | |||
Note that the CLASSES file should NOT have an extension (like .txt, etc.) | |||

When clicking | When clicking four times on the big tree, to activate the "Shablee sequence", somehow the debug mode gets activated (sort of), because the game will react to key combinations used in debug. However, being removed, it will terminate the game directly with the error "cannot find 911.hep". Also, clicking four times will be reduced to two times. | ||

Other games not mentioned here or in the list did not seem to have debug options. Exceptions are some demos (for instance of Conquests of Camelot and Codename: ICEMAN) that do have a debug mode, but are really not worth the hassle, since they have limited resources and do not work "out of the box". | |||
