onscripter-insani (all versions) crashes on English Tsukihime before title screen.

Hello, there is another game problem.
I tried all releases and it could smoothly run another game (eg. Kagetsu Tohya), but when I run Tsukihime, it always crashes before the Title screen.

What is the behavior with 20230501, rather than 20230423?

I also note that the purpose of onscripter-insani isn't to support translations other than the ones that insani releases -- you may want to wait on onscripter-en's eventual macOS release for compatibility with some of these older translations.

Rather than the language changing, it looks like characters might be skipped. I'll look into that part of it.

I can see from your Finder window that this game has a Tsukihime.exe, an SDL.dll, and a game.id. That means that it's using a build of onscripter-en, rather than a build of onscripter-insani. You should definitely wait until onscripter-en releases an macOS version. It would, however, be interesting to know where exactly in the script this crash occurs. It looks deterministic, which means you should be able to trace the exact line where the crash occurs. You can see that the crash happens in ONScripter::btndefCommand()+176 every single time.

Also you may want to try deleting envdata and gloval.sav.

I see, Thank you!!!

You might be interested in knowing that I just committed a fix (905f5a3) that resolves the character skipping issue.

@iopkdj I've gotten to the bottom of this. It has to do with the fact that there's an arc.sar, an arc.nsa, and a arc1.nsa. You're not supposed to do this from a pure NScripter standpoint -- a project should be using either .sar files or .nsa files, not both. So, if you unpack the contents of arc.nsa and arc1.nsa using something like nsaout on Windows, the game runs absolutely fine. You will end up with a subfolder called arc and subfolders within that subfolder called icon, image, and wave, along with some bmp files. You'd want to copy the contents of arc to the root directory of Tsukihime (in other words, that directory will have the icon, image, and wave subdirectories, and not an arc subdirectory). Then, onscripter-insani will run just fine.

Long story short: this is not an onscripter-insani bug. You will be able to play Tsukihime with the instructions I provide above. Use 20230423 "D3" for now, until the next release of onscripter-insani (which will have the character skipping fix for the bug that was introduced in 20230501 "elf").

Thank you again !!! But I could not try this way cuz I don't have a windows PC, I am devoted to find a way to unpack those files :)
