[The only bug is my reading comprehension]

Okay, this is embarrassing. I've learned that there are no bugs here: The "w" tag only works in dialogue statements, and the menu statement doesn't count. So while config.say_menu_text_filter works with menus, the thing I'm doing with it doesn't. Meanwhile, the character callbacks example ...

Re: get the length of displayed "what" text in say

Hmm. I'm hoping to figure this out as well, because I'm trying to synchronise movie displayables to the length of sentences spoken by characters. I hoped I'd be able to read the length of a sentence in characters then divide it by the CPS. That result would tell me which length(s) of movie clip(s) t...

Re: [bug] config.say_menu_text_filter doesn't work with menus?

For anyone who's interested: I've come up with a workaround. It's ever so slightly annoying but if you duplicate the say statement so that there's one immediately before, and inside a menu statement, then use the CPS tag to hard code the menu say statement to display the text instantly, you can have...

Re: [bug] config.say_menu_text_filter doesn't work with menus?

I just want to add to this: I also tried out the Character Callbacks example in that article. While the beeping sound works in say statements, it doesn't work during menu statements. I'm not sure if this is related, but I have a hunch it is.

[bug] config.say_menu_text_filter doesn't work with menus?

Hi everyone. First of all I want to say I scoured the forums looking for this issue in case it was known. Also, I'm not sure if it's actually a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong. I seem to get different results with a say statement, versus a menu statement. I borrowed Remix's code here . I wa...

Re: Adventures in video decoders: the quest for VP9a

Okay. This is an interesting direction the discussion has gone in. If Ren'Py (or libav, or SDL, or whatever point in the stack) doesn't use hardware acceleration to decode video, that explains a lot. Am I right in assuming that this points me towards using ffmpeg with a python wrapper instead of try...

Adventures in video decoders: the quest for VP9a

Hello everyone! I'm new. Let me start off by saying I appreciate all the work Tom and his cohorts have done to make Ren'Py and foster a very helpful community. I've begun working with this game engine, and I'm beginning to test its limits. I happen to be a 3D animator, and I'd like to use this art s...
