🌸 onscripter(6) — Games Manual 🌸

okay bestie, buckle up, because this is onscripter from the Games Manual section of the man pages, and she's a whole vibe 💖

✨ NAME ✨

onscripter — NScripter-compatible visual novel games engine 🎮💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

onscripter [option ...]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so like, this manual page documents the onscripter command briefly. Just a lil overview, no biggie 🫶

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. (not me writing the docs for a program that never had any 😭 iconic behaviour honestly)

onscripter is a program that implements the visual novel games engine NScripter. It is able to run Japanese (Shift-JIS encoding) games. 💖

And then there's onscripter-1byte, which is built in order to play English games by forcing 1-byte mode. slay ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. 🎀

  • --cdaudio — Use CD audio if available. 🎵
  • --cdnumber no — Choose the CD-ROM drive number. (yes, no is literally the placeholder, bestie, do not come for me 💀)
  • -f file, --font file — Set a TTF font file. 🔤
  • --registry file — Set a registry file.
  • --dll file — Set a dll file.

  • --edit — Enable editing the volumes and the variables when 'z' is pressed. 👀

  • -h, --help — Show summary of options. 🫶
  • -v, --version — Show version of program. ⭐

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟

After decompressing the game data directory, we call it /path/foo for convient (that's a typo in the original and I am respectfully keeping it, no cap 💀), please use the follow command to perform the game:

onscripter -r /path/foo

If the game is not containing default.ttf, we can use -f to assign one as following:

onscripter -r /path/foo -f /usr/share/fonts/truetype/vlgothic/VL-Gothic-Regular.ttf
fr fr, that's the whole recipe. point at the game folder, hand it a font if it's missing one, and you're gaming 🎀
