Developer mode - Gemini-Loboto3/RE3-Mod-SDK GitHub Wiki

Developer mode is an extra feature of mod-sdk to be used for quick tests with your files. Usually a released mod would come in the format of a 7z archive with all the packed data and an optional folder with bigger files like movies. Developer mode takes away the hassle of recreating a 7z archive every time you need to test small new features into a mod by forwarding all file access to a folder behaving like an archive.

In order to access developer mode, simply create a folder with your data and give it the usual "mod_" prefix to make the game scan for it. Besides that, it works exactly the same as 7z mods. In order to differentiate developer mode from an actual release, developer mods are flagged with a [DEV] tag before the mod name in the mod selection dialog.

Developer mode is currently the best way to debug a module DLL, since you can setup Visual Studio to boot the game directly and breakpoints become functional.
