ONScripter port to MotoLinux

[Pantamorph]

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum
I found this nice game called Narcissu and decided to port it to my ROKR Z6 phone. Thanks to lubomyr, we managed to make the port of it's engine (ONScripter), but we encountered some bugs:
1) the text is small, it's unreadable, text is shown without spacebar (example: itwasanothersunny day) and sometimes unknown symbols appear
2) There is a problem when you play the game a bit it gets suspended and at the telnet log it says:
command [mp3fadeout] is not supported yet!!
command [mp3fadeout] is not supported yet!!
suspend
QT Show: 470 requestFocus: Lost, winId:1382
Lubomyr said he tried to switch -DMP3_MAD to DUSE_OGG_VORBIS -DINTEGER_OGG_VORBIS but then it needs smpeg so further work is needed in that direction
Anyways I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me with the text problem
Thanks in advance
Eugene

P.S.
Screenshots from my Z6:

The font size is controller from the game script, not from the engine. Look up setwindow in the command reference: http://onscripter.denpa.mobi/api/NScrAPI-framed.xml
The spaces disappearing might be related to the use of textgosub (see command reference). Not sure if that's the case here, but I seem to remember a similar problem from when I was working on Tsukihime Fool's Errand... Had to do with differences between NS, ONS and ONS-en.


And just so you know, outputs such as "[commandname] is not supported yet" can most often be ignored. It just means that the command exists in NScripter, but not ONScripter. (Although Mion's more recent versions support the mp3fadeout command.)

The website doesn't load :(
Can you try to explain simpler, cuz I don't understand what you said :)

Try http://onscripter.denpa.mobi/api/NScrAPI.xml and see if it loads for you. The framed version doesn't load for me, either. What Message basically said was that you should try setting the font size in the game script itself (this is in either nscript.dat or 0.txt, nscript.dat being a xor-ciphered version of 0.txt). The NScrAPI site will have information on the setwindow command that you might want to use.

You mean this?
setwindow NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM,COLOR,NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM
NUM
X-coordinate of top left for text
NUM
Y-coordinate of top left for text
NUM
Number of (full-width) text columns
NUM
Number of text lines
NUM
(Full-width) text font size X
NUM
Text font size Y
NUM
Text spacing X
NUM
Text spacing Y
NUM
Default text speed
NUM
Boldface toggle (0=off/1=on)
NUM
Drop shadow toggle (0=off/1=on)
COLOR
Window color
NUM
Window top left X-coordinate
NUM
Window top left Y-coordinate
NUM
Window bottom right X-coordinate
NUM
Window bottom right Y-coordinate

How do I open nscript.dat?

svn export svn://svn.denpa.mobi/onscripter/trunk/nscriptdecode.cpp
g++ nscriptdecode.cpp -o nscriptdecode
./nscriptdecode < nscript.dat > 0.txt

ONScripter can use the resulting 0.txt file just like it can use nscript.dat, so there's not really a reason to convert it back. But if you want to, the same tool works:

./nscriptdecode < 0.txt > nscript.dat

Sorry for being dumb, I didn't know such an app as OnScripter existed (until now)
But if I compile a newer version of onscripter, will it run Narcissu (Do onscripter sources laid in insani have any game data files in them?)

ONScripter is just an interpreter. The game script is contained in 0.txt (or nscript.dat) and the images, music, etc. are in the arc.nsa file (or sometimes just present as regular files in the game directory.)

Most games using this system are developed for NScripter, which is the original, but is Windows only and closed-source. ONScripter is an open-source GPL clone of NScripter that has been ported to Linux and Mac OS X in addition to Windows. Furthermore, ONScripter-EN is a fork of ONScripter that adds extensive support for English.

You'll want to get the latest ONScripter-en sources from http://onscripter.denpa.mobi/. Neither Insani nor Haeleth are maintaining ONScripter-en anymore, so the information on their pages are out of date. And yes, current versions of ONScripter-en should run Narcissu just fine.

Sorry for the late reply, do I have to change setwindow lines
19,149,310,895,1173,1453,2733,4534,5964,7072,8525,9646,10899,11640,11675,11984,12294,13777,15883,17649,19012,20795,23840:
These are the text controling lines, am I right?
Here's Line 19:
menusetwindow 15,18,2,2,0,1,#808080
Others only have setwindow commands

It may seem weird, but we can't compile uncle mion's onscripter
We managed to compile Ogapee's version, but we can't configure mion's builds
Here's the log for the compilation of mion's onscripter, using Ogapee's Makefile (We didn't change his Zaurus Linux makefile much):

The notacommand label didn't appear in the Japanese builds!

Hi Pantamorph,

You'll need to add -DINSANI and -DHAELETH to the DEFS in the Makefile. I imagine that won't be the last error you find...

By the way, are you unable to use the configure script to generate a Makefile? onscripter-en doesn't officially support portable OSes at the moment, but we might be able to work something out, especially if there's someone willing to test builds.

Uncle Mion

[Pantamorph]

Yeah, I am the MotoMAGX version tester, so I can test these builds (We successfully compiled Insani's build, but Narci crashes cause mp3fadeout isn't supported in the old ONScripter, I'm also working on the fontsize of the game, cuz the text is unreadable. We also ported SMPEG and Tremor libs to try and add OGG support to ONScripter but it seems that here we need to use a newer version of ONScripter to get rid of the mp3fadeout bug) the MotoMAGX and MotoEZX platform compilers sadly aren't supported oficially, what's weird is that Sharp Zaurus and Motorola A1200 have an idenical Processor so porting ONScripter to A1200 went smooth (I'm talking about Insani's version for Narci and Ogapee's sources), while the MAGX platform (Z6, V8, EM30, E8, U9 e.t.c.) needs to be worked on. Anyway, you can contact me via ICQ at 492521434

Lubomyr's Reply: No, I used the makefile from the Japanese version (P.S. Ogapee's versions had no configure)

[Pantamorph]

Well What do you know, we compiled it with the 2 parameters you gave us!
Narcissu works better (No hyeroglyphs, text is being shown smoothly, the game runs faster, options menu works better)
Sources sent to you in a PM
Don't share them though cuz I haven't finished working on Narcissu
