Following PyTom's announcement of 7.4.10, I've downloaded the latest release and retried with all the voice lines activated with voice rather than play sound, all the {w=...} and {nw} tags put back in, and it's all working as expected. Great stuff!

There are also several fixes to the way voice interacts with text with pauses

Awesome - just downloaded and tried it, and the issue I raised in another thread has been fixed. Much appreciated, PyTom!

I was about to ask a similar question, but my question is about alternate character images depending on choices made by the player. Basically, I have a character who is supposed to be wearing one of three outfits, depending on earlier player choices. This may be overkill for what you're trying to a...

No worries - I hope it was useful. Another aspect that's occurred to me is that, when a child starts crying, they will also sometimes find themselves fighting for breath. That is to say, more energy is going into ex haling (to make noise) than in haling and, again, it's pretty much outside of their ...

I can see a couple of potential reasons... I think when querying a variable with an if , it needs to be formatted as <= or >=, not just < or >. Then, setting a variable to a new value, it has to be preceeded with a $, so: if rowan_nerve <= 0: $ rowan_nerve = 0 elif rowan_nerve >= 100: $ rowan_nerve ...

OK, so I finally managed to get the Atom folder within my Ren'Py folder deleted. At this point, the standalone version of Ren'Py suddenly started acting like a fresh installation - no record of the folder(s) I'd been working with previously, and .rpy files had to be manually assigned to it again . H...

That's exactly what I've done for the time being. Weirdly, not only does Ren'Py not want to acknowledge it with the Editor set to 'Atom', but it also won't use it with 'System Editor' selected and .rpy files assigned to the standalone version. Makes it a bit slower to work with, but at least Atom re...

Another, possibly related symptom: I started removing the # from all the voice lines and switching to play sound wherever I'd added a {w} tag or broken a line for sprite animation purposes, and all that's now working smoothly. But then there's a point where I show a bunch of new sprites after initia...

I updated to the most recent version of Ren'Py yesterday - 7.4.9.2142 - and was able to carry on working immediately... However, today, when I try to edit an .rpy file or open Atom idependently, I get this error pop-up: Atom Error.png Figured I might need to update Atom as well, so I tried deleting ...

Assuming you're aiming to write from the child's point of view, that's a really tricky one. As children, we don't (normally) make the conscious decision to cry as a result of the kind of shock and/or injury you describe, nor is there any self-reflection while crying... It's a mostly automatic reacti...

Coincidentally, I'd updated to 7.4.9.2142 during the day yesterday, ahead of my post. The issue appears to remain where text is paused with the {w} tag, and where I used the {nw} tag to make changes in a sprite mid-dialogue, followed by an extend to continue the text. However, just this morning, I t...

No luck with the code suggested by Jeffster, but I have found a kind of workaround. Where I originally had: voice "narration001.mp3" "Nothing can prepare you for... {w=0.75}my dramatic pause!" I've substituted the following: voice "narration001.mp3" "Nothing can prepare you for{cps=2}... {/cps}my dr...

Hello everyone! I'm new to these forums, and also new to the visual novel scene. I want to write a visual novel, and I have an idea and a loose outline, but I have a hard time knowing if the idea is worth pursuing or not, or what I would have to do to make it work. If this isn't an appropriate plac...

This feels like it's something I should be dealing with at the engine level. It did strike me as a very odd issue, all things considered - if it can be added to your list, please, I'm sure I won't be the only one here who'd appreciate it! Is there some merit in trying something like this: Will give...

What about https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/config.html#var-config.say_sustain_callbacks ...OK, yes, that appears to be exactly what I'm looking for, thank you, Jeffster!.. Do you happen to have any links to examples of how one makes use of this? Where it goes in the code? What the variables are? The...
