RUNNING RM2K/2K3 IN TESTPLAY MODE WITHOUT USING THE EDITOR + OTHER PARAMETERS

Running rm2k and rm2k3 games in testplay mode can be very useful, you can use it for testing the game and making changes in the editor at the same time, and of course cheating if you don’t have an editor.

1. Go into the file of the game that you want to run in testplay mode.

2. Right-click and create a new shortcut to the RPG_RT.exe, call it debug mode

3. Right-click and choose properties, then change to the shortcut tab.

4. It should look something like this.

___________________________________________

To run it in testplay mode, we will add a command line parameter to the target string.

5. Add "TestPlay" (Case Specific) behind the Target string, changing it to:
Target: "C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\RPG 2003\KCA#4\RPG_RT.exe" "TestPlay"

6. Double click on the shortcut, it should start in testplay mode, you can tell because it will skip the logos.

Other Parameters You Can Add:

Note: Parameters must be in order, i.e. "TestPlay/BattleTest" "HideTitle" "Window" and so on. if you want to use a later one but not an earlier one insert the correct number of "q" infront.

"HideTitle" - causes the title graphic to not show up on the title screen

"Window" - causes it to start in the windowed mode

"BattleTest" - causes it to start in the test battle mode, like when you test a fight in the monster party tab, basically useless as you can not select the monster group from anything but the editor though
