Setting up a Visual Novel - matthewn4444/onscripter-plus-android GitHub Wiki

These instructions detail how to take an NScripter game from your PC to be able to play it on your Android device.

Only NScripter compatible games will work with this app!

Get the game

Buy/download the game you want to play.

You can get a free English (translated) game called Narcissu. You can get it here: http://narcissu.insani.org/down.html

Download the Windows/Mac Os/Linux version of the game Install the game on your operating system

Copy the files to SD card / phone

Go to the files of the game and look for the following files (bold is manditory), if you want, you can copy all the files or the entire game folder, it will work as well:

  • nscript.dat (holds the script and events of the game) any folder that might be important to the game (sound folder, movies etc)
  • /savedata (folder varies in name; this holds the save data)
  • arc.nsa (optional holds assets like images, music etc)
  • default.tff (optional)
  • envdata (optional)
  • gloval.sav (optional; this is the save file if there is no save folder) An example is shown below after installing Secret Game (which is not all ages)

file structure

Open a new folder in your phone SD card (name it anything) and place these files in there. Any folder is fine because the application will scan your device for the games. You can optional choose each folder in the application to scan for games instead of scanning the entire device.

Again the example with Secret Game shown below is how you can structure your games

folder structure

[OPTIONAL] You can use a custom font if you like. Move the font file to the same directory where you put the game. This font file must be called "default.ttf". If you do not provide a default font, ONScripter Plus will provide one.

Start the game

Now go to the application on the phone and select the game to start to play!
