Re: [Solved] Voice audio versus the wait tag
This should be fixed as of Ren'Py 7.4.9. I've been experimenting with v8.1.3 today, and this issue has crept back in - anytime I break dialogue with a {nw} tag, then continue with extend , the text stops dead until the voice line finishes. EDIT: As before, switching from voice to play sound fixes t...

Voice Acting by AI
One of the things I'm keen to add into my current project (and future projects, hopefully) is voice acting. However, I'm not currently in a position to commission a VA to speak the lines of one character, let alone all of them. Initially, I looked into self-voicing, but it appears as though that wou...

Re: [Solved] Voice audio versus the wait tag
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!

Re: How to display certain images on a conditional?
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...

Re: How would you write a crying scene?
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 ...

Re: Set Max and Min for variables
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 ...

Re: [Successfully Bypassed] Atom/Java errors after Ren'Py update
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...

Re: Atom/Java errors after Ren'Py update
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...

Re: Voice audio versus the wait tag
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...

[Successfully Bypassed] Atom/Java errors after Ren'Py update
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 ...

Re: How would you write a crying scene?
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...

Re: Voice audio versus the wait tag
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...

Re: Voice audio versus the wait tag
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 pr...

Re: Looking for feedback on a story idea
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...
