Okay, so I haven’t done the port to PONScripter yet. Instead I did some more bugfixes and optimizations for ONScripter-EN, bringing it out of “beta” status. Check out the new Release (onscripter-en-20091206), it should run much more smoothly than previous ones.

Got a new version of ONScripter-EN (onscripter-en-20091122) on the Releases page.
Please note that this release should be considered beta, as I did some overhauling of the underlying event handling structure. I’ve given it a good deal of testing on a variety of games and scripts, but it could have introduced some new bugs or odd behavior – let me know if you have problems.
Now that the overhaul is done, my next plan is to port all that stuff to ponscripter and get its features all up to date!

Now that I’m done being sick (*cough*cough*), here’s a brand new release of ONScripter-EN (onscripter-en-20091106). In addition to a number of bugfixes, this release has a nice new command-line option:
--window-width width
Basically, if your screen is a bit too small to show an entire 800×600 onscripter game, you can use window width 640 and everything will resize into a smaller window. Or if you’ve got a nice 1600×1200 monitor, try window width 1200 for a bigger picture yet with sharp text.
I’ve been doing a bunch of fixes this week to have onscripter work on small-screen PDA systems, so I thought hey, might as well pass the benefits on to the regular builds as well.
And while we’re on the subject, if you’d like to try making a build of onscripter-en for your particular PDA system, drop me a line or make a comment on this post. Maybe we’ll have some links to new projects soon!

We just made another release of ONScripter-EN (onscripter-en-20091010). This release contains a number of bugfixes, as well as some new command-line options (which may be provided via an ons.cfg file):
--allow-break-outside-loop
--allow-color-type-only
--set-tag-page-origin-to-1
--answer-dialog-with-yes-ok
These are intended to provide compatibility with games that use older versions of NScr, or to work around the current lack of dialog boxes in ONScripter.
And while we’re on the subject, check out our new page listing games that are compatible with ONScripter-EN, along with command-line options needed for compatibility.

We just made a new release of ONScripter-EN: onscripter-en-20090930.
This release contains a few bugfixes, but primarily a new feature to allow specifying command-line options via a configuration file, “ons.cfg”, which should be placed in the same directory as the ONScripter application. (On Mac OS X, the file can also be placed within the Resources directory of a bundled ONScripter.)
This example ons.cfg file shows the basic file format: one option per line, with the starting “--” removed, and a “=” between the option name and its argument if applicable. Blank lines are ignored.
