How to get error messages?

Schulz

Is there any way to get error messages if I make a mistake in xml files?

@schulz I believe they moved it to the engine game settings show as true

Right, thanks. Looked at everything and found it now.

In 1.8.0.9 you would always get the error, at least upon failing on selection or crashing on load (I think that made the most sense).
If you install 1.9.0.0.9687, you can go in Engine Preferences/Testing/Show Console Always.
In the latest prerelease 1.9.0.0.12188, you can go in Engine Preferences/Game/Show Console.

Hope this solves the problem for you.

p.s.: Why in "Game"? I think it would make more sense in "Testing", as it was.

@cernel because in game is where normal users would look first
