Are you using VX Ace by any chance? I donno about MV or MZ, but in VX Ace one of the reasons there is no test mode that does this is because the event interpreter doesn't keep track of where the event it is running is coming from. Also events don't actually keep track of the page number they are using.

That said, it's still possible! Here is a little script for VX Ace to print the map/id/page to the console when an event starts (only works for map events though):

if $TEST

  class Game_Event < Game_Character

    alias_method :start_debug_base, :start
    def start
      pagenum = @event.pages.find_index(@page)
      pagenum += 1 if pagenum
      puts "Event Start - Map: "+@map_id.to_s+" Id: "+@id.to_s+" Page: "+pagenum.to_s
      start_debug_base
    end
  
  end

  class Game_Interpreter
  
    alias_method :command_118_debug_base, :command_118
    def command_118
      puts "Event Label - " + @params[0]
      command_118_debug_base
    end
  
    alias_method :command_119_debug_base, :command_119
    def command_119
      puts "Event Label Jump - " + @params[0]
      command_119_debug_base
    end
  
  end

end

I wrote it just now! As a extra bonus it also prints stuff when it finds a label or a label jump so you know what the last label used is. Helpful!

Oh yeah, and to enable the console make sure the 'show console' option in the 'game' menu has a little check by it. I find it super useful!

You are wonderful! Thank you.

Mind if I modify it a bit so it works even outside of Playtest mode? I'm thinking about when sending it out to Playtesters, since there's a LOT of dialogue options. Knowing where they found a particular thing would be nice

You can do whatever you like with it really... I don't believe in restricting what people can do with my scripts. :3

Believe me, I know. Difficult to manage. Sometimes impossible at the devs' skill level.

Honestly just about every kind of creative activity can be a lot of work if you ask me.

It is a lot of work, but it can really be so rewarding too!

Indeed, I'm super happy with how Mangle turned out!!

That's the spirit.

As Larry the Cable Guy would say... "Git 'er dun!" lmfao

One bit of advice: The message script, if configured incorrectly, it will affect the battle windows.

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

You're very welcome, dear.

I will say that there is a possibility that my experience with said script might of been because I had many other scripts in place that may of had a hand in interfering. Even still, I didn't want to throw caution to the wind.

I say at least send what you have so far to some people, see if there are any unnoticed kinks you can work out while you work on the rest.

Demo release? Absolutely! See if there's other things to look at before the final release.

Well, you nerds convinced me. Just waitin' on the approval.

Ruby can be a cruel mistress at times, and definitely spoiled rotten to boot, throwing tantrums at the slightest inconsistency, even if you see no inconsistencies at all, lol

Hey, Ruby is a nice sensible girl! She tries her best, she really does! At least she tries to tell you when she doesn't understand what to do. She isn't just throwing tantrums, she is trying to help! Ever try programing in assembly? If you did you would be grateful for Ruby trying at all and not just willfully barging on ahead. :3

Assembly language is a bulldozer. lol
When Ruby is not making a fuss over something that doesn't make sense, she does things wonderfully whilst toggling her shoe on her toes with her legs crossed...

Well, what don't you like about it exactly? I am curious. I haven't really worked with Javascript that much, but it seems mostly okay to me. I wouldn't call it my preferred language, but is it really all that bad? I think the biggest problem I see with Javascript is just that using a prototype-based object system is really unusual and I think not many people really understand how it works, and you can do all sorts of odd things that don't quite make sense in most computer languages. Like functions being objects you can set to a variable like any other object.

Then again, I am a computer science nerd, so I probably pick up on the reasons for a lot of the details that most people find nonsensical and overly complex anyway.

I'm honestly not sure what my issue with Javascript is, it's just something that I always end up having to deal with whenever I try to work with that language, which is what makes me want to avoid it.

Hehe, I getcha. We all have things like that don't we?
