onscripter — NScripter-compatible visual novel games engine

onscripter [option ...]

This manual page documents briefly the onscripter command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

onscripter is a program that implements the visual novel games engine NScripter. It is able to run Japanese (Shift-JIS encoding) games. onscripter-1byte is built in order to play English games by forcing 1-byte mode.

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

After decompressing the game data directory, we call it /path/foo for convient, 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
