[Code] Modified Extend Character

[zetake]

I usually play Ren'Py games with instant Text Speed and have often hard time to notice that text was exnteded or don't know where I finished reading.

So, to exclude waste of time from the reader, I have made better extend fuction that change color of text that isn't from actual function.
That makes text from extend function way more noticeable.

For exaple:

• Not modified extend fuction:

  Jerry
  I did something...

  Jerry
  I did something...terrible...

  Jerry
  I did something...terrible...again.

• Modified extend fuction:

  Jerry
  I did something...

  Jerry
  I did something... terrible...

  Jerry
  I did something... terrible... again.

Exaple code:

• Defining character.
  Add this above labels.

  Code: Select all

  define jerry = Character("Jerry", color="#0000ff", what_color="#008000")
  

• Defining variables.
  Add this above labels.

  Code: Select all

  define config.visible_extend_color = "#ff4000"
  define config.visible_extend_separator = " "
  #define config.visible_extend_interjection = "{fast}"
  

• Adding labels.
  Add this above, between or below labels.

  Code: Select all

  label jerry1:
      jerry "I did something..."
      visible_extend "terrible..."
      visible_extend "again."
      return
  
  label jerry2:
      jerry "I did something..."
      visible_extend "terrible..." ("#008000") # same as (visible_extend_color="#008000")
      visible_extend "again." (visible_extend_color="#008000") # same as ("#008000") 
      return
  
  label jerry3:
      jerry "I did something..."
      visible_extend "terrible..." ("#008000", "") # same as (visible_extend_color="#008000", visible_extend_separator="")
      visible_extend "again." (visible_extend_color="#008000", visible_extend_separator="") # same as ("#008000", "")
      return
  
  label jerry4:
      jerry "I did something..."
      visible_extend "terrible..." ("#808000", "\n") # same as (visible_extend_color="#808000", visible_extend_separator="\n")
      visible_extend "again." (visible_extend_color="#808000", visible_extend_separator="\n") # same as ("#808000", "\n")
      return
  

• Calling labels.
