After extracting ONScripter to your SD Card you will need to install your game files into a directory under /apps/onscripter/games/. These usually consist of a 0.txt or nscript.dat file and a arc.nsa or arc.sar files. Next edit the games.xml file found in /apps/onscripter. Once the game is added to the games.xml file you can simly launch ONScripter from the HBC and select the game you wish to play.

Fixed crash when playing mp3 files
added missing default.ttf to the test game

MetaFight released a first version of his Wii game “Shiny Red Tank”.

Quote:

Shiny Red Tank is eventually going to become an old-school platformer including elements from my favorite 8-bit and 16-bit games. It is in very early stages of development and still has quite a few bugs, but you should be able to get a pretty good idea of the game mechanics.

The game map is currently limited to a test area. Since I’m horribly slow at making my own graphics, the current graphics are very limited. Also, I haven’t gotten around to implementing sound yet.

So, in short, this project still has a long way to go.

I hope you enjoy it!
