# Enable debug console
setr debug_console_enabled 1
setr debug_console_level 2  # 0: None, 1: Errors, 2: Warnings, 3: Info, 4: Debug

Accessing Debug Console

In-game command:

/debug

Features

Real-time log viewing
Resource state inspection
Command execution
Variable inspection
System information

Resource Debugger

Helps track resource execution and identify issues.

Enabling Resource Debugger
