6.16: Automatic Voice + Translations

Me again, with my strange translation-related posts:
I've been playing with the new (6.16) feature Automatic Voice. The first thing I found is that the voice is only played the first time, if I return to the Main Menu and start again, it's not played.
I'm trying to use Automatic Voice with different translations, but I only have been able of figuring out this:
Code: Select all
init python:
if _preferences.language is None:
config.auto_voice = "voice/english/{id}.ogg" # or simply: config.auto_voice = "voice/{id}.ogg"
else:
config.auto_voice = "voice/" + _preferences.language + "/{id}.ogg"
But it needs the user to restart the game every time the Language is changed, otherwise, the former language is played, while the text in the new language is displayed.
Also, the "Extract Dialogue" feature doesn't consider the translated script.
It could be possible to have different "dialogue identifiers" according to the translations?:
> Language = None; id = start_a170b500
> Language = "spanish"; id = start_a170b500_spanish

Could you put together a replication for me? This shouldn't happen.

I've modified Ren'Py so that auto_voice can be a function instead of a string. The function can access all sorts of things, including _preferences.language. So you should be able to do what you want.

My little test (sorry about my pronunciation
)

Thanks for the replication. Having that made it easy to fix the underlying bug.

Tested in 6.16.0.335 and both things work.
I've used this code for auto_voice:
Code: Select all
init python:
def the_voice(identifier):
if _preferences.language is None:
return "voice/english/" + identifier + ".ogg"
else:
return "voice/" + _preferences.language + "/" + identifier + ".ogg"
config.auto_voice = the_voice
On the other hand, there is a small error in the documentation of auto_voice (
http://www.renpy.org/dev-doc/html/voice ... atic-voice ), the variable
config.auto_dialogue should be
config.auto_voice.
About the translations, I've seen also the new feature: "translate None strings:" It's wonderful for us who write the original text in non-English language. Thanks!

I've fixed that, thanks for pointing it out.
Translate None strings is actually an old (6.15 series) feature, as it existed in 6.15, but wasn't documented. (I actually went in to implement the feature for 6.16, only to realize it was already there.)
