Ren'Py 5.6.6 Released

[PyTom]

You can try creating (in the game directory) a file containing:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ config.debug_sound = True

That will cause Ren'Py to report sound errors. Beyond that, I can't help much, since this part of the sound code is embedded in the SDL library. I would suggest using strace, especially

strace -f -eopen (command)

to see if any files fail to open.

LOTS of stuff isn't opening...
strace -f -eopen ./renpy.sh &>errlog.txt
result is at http://rpg.animemayhem.com/renpyerrlog.txt

Try it with -e trace=file rather than -e open. It might be a stat call that's failing.

I have:
declare -x SDL_AUDIODRIVER="alsa"

in exports,

and created the file
debug.rpy in the demo's game directory:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ config.sound.debug = True

after running the demo (still no sound) with:
strace -f -etrace=file ./renpy.sh demo &>errlog.txt

there's a debug.rpyc file (so it got compiled but did it get used?)

I don't get any error messages from enabling sound debug
Here's the trace (this is now symlinked so it shows the result of the most recent run which was to execute the strace... line above): http://rpg.animemayhem.com/renpyerrlog.txt

(This will save on sending an attachment each time)

Just a note about the Wiki reference :

The } transition statement

Is this a typo ? According to the context, I suppose it could be "the hide transition".

[PyTom]

Fixed, thanks.

With my latest post, any ideas about the sound issues I'm having?

[PyTom]

Okay, nailed the audio problem. It was a library version issue, which was preventing sound from loading. The fix should be in the next release of Ren'Py, which should be in a few days or so.

EDIT: Or you can just drop the attached file into renpy-5.6.6/lib/linux-x86/lib/python2.4/pysdlsound . If you let me know it works, I'll post the fix on the main Ren'Py page.

Sound now works. Thank you greatly.
