::These require files from the original distribution media. Works with both AGI and SCI versions. The Munt installer also requires the Roland MT-32 ROMs "MT32_CONTROL.ROM" and "MT32_PCM.ROM" (not included.)
==<br /> Debug Modes ==
<blockquote>
Nearly all SCI0 games have an internal debugger, meaning a build-in debugger in the game's interpreter. Next to that, some games also have a script debugger. Like with AGI games, a script debugger is a debug script located directly in the game code itself, rather than in the interpreter's code.
====<br /> Internal Debugger ====
The internal debugger is activated by simultaneously pressing [SHIFT + SHIFT + MINUS] (the MINUS key located at the NUMERIC keypad). The debugger is/was mainly useful for programmers, but some things like changing variables can be easily done.
{| class="wikitable sortable" width="700"
! width="100" | Command !! width="600" | Action
|- valign="top"
| '''Q''' ||Quit game
|- valign="top"
| '''B''' ||Set Breakpoint
|- valign="top"
| '''A''' ||Inspect ID in accumulator
|- valign="top"
| '''C''' || Inspect Current Set of Objects<br /><br />Press '''C''' to see all of the objects within that set. Press '''I''' to inspect the selector. Press '''E''' to edit that selector.
|- valign="top"
| '''I''' ||Inspect Object/Memory<br /><br />Press cursor '''Up/Down''' to go up/down through the memory by 16 bytes and '''Left/Right''' to go up/down the memory by 2 bytes.
|- valign="top"
| '''F''' ||Show free heap
|- valign="top"
| '''S''' ||Show sends
|- valign="top"
| '''R''' ||Show resource types
|- valign="top"
| '''O''' ||Show objects in heap
|- valign="top"
| ['''SHIFT + O'''] ||Show objects with addresses
|- valign="top"
| ['''SHIFT + S'''] ||Show stack usage
|- valign="top"
| '''G''' ||Change global variable
|- valign="top"
| '''L''' ||Change local variable
|- valign="top"
| '''T''' ||Change temp variable
|- valign="top"
| '''ENTER''' ||Proceed single step through script.
|- valign="top"
| '''TAB''' ||Step across send
|- valign="top"
| ['''SHIFT + /'''] ||Help; shows list (incomplete) of shortcuts.
|}
Note that these are case sensitive, so [CAPS LOCK] should be deactivated.
Example: The room number is controlled by global variable 13. When the debug is activated, push [G]. It will ask which global variable should be changed. Enter "13". Now it will show the current value of the variable. Change this to your preferred, valid room number. Exit the debugger ([SHIFT + SHIFT + MINUS] or [SHIFT + SHIFT + D]) to see the effect.
====<br /> Script Debugger ====
The script debugger is a bit more interesting and often more extensive. Not all games have a script debugger, some of them were likely removed before the final release of the game. However, a fair number of games still have it. The script debugger is in most cases activated by typing a certain sentence in the game. This sentence differs from game to game.
When there isn't a sentence to type, but a debug is present in the game, it can be activated by changing the value of a certain global variable. An example of doing this is given in the previous chapter "Internal Debugger".
Note that in some games, the debug mode will be activated on room change.
When the script debugger is activated, the following general commands are available:
{| class="wikitable sortable" width="700"
! width="150" | Command !! width="200" | Action !! width="350" |Notes
|- valign="top"
|[CTRL + left click]||Instant movement (of ego)||Does not work with Quest for Glory / Hero's Quest
|- valign="top"
|[SHIFT + left click]||Show coordinates||&nbsp;
|}
