Sound while text is scrolling

[Riku]

Hi!

I'm using the callback fonction to play a sound when the text scrolling:

init python:
def callback(event, **kwargs):
if event == "show":
renpy.music.play("godawful-beeping-noise.ogg", channel="sound")
elif event == "slow_done" or event == "end":
renpy.music.stop(channel="sound")

I wonder if I can put it in the voice channel instead of sound. When I try to replace "sound" by voice, but it doesn't work, the sound simply not playing (I think it's because voice channel works differently).

Also, there is other issues: it

has some side effects. Pressing "H" during beeping will suspend "end" event. i.e. the beeping will continue. Same might happen if jumping into game menu by pressing ESC, or going backwards (rollback).

Thanks!

Why not just create another channel and play that thing on it?

As for the "other issues", i don't think it's possible to get rid of them with the current way of showing text. Wasted an hour trying to do so.

Thank you for taking some of your time to help me!

Well, it "seems" to work, but now I try to add the new channel in the preference menu, so we can disactivate the sound or put down the volume without influencing the order sound channel (that's my goal actually). So, I tried to put this below the other channel in the screen script:

frame:
style_group "pref"
has vbox

label _("Dialogue Sound")
bar value Preference("sound volume")

if config.sample_sound:
textbutton _("Test"):
action Play("Dialogue Sound", config.sample_sound)
style "soundtest_button"

But, doing it that way Dialogue Sound and sound are the same. I can't put down the Dialogue sound volume without put down the sound volume, they are linked.

I think it's because of this line:

bar value Preference("sound volume")

I tried to changed it, but it's up to no good and I don't know where this variable came from...

Can you help me again please?

Well, when registering a new channel, you can use one of the three mixers: "music", "sfx" and "voice".
To change their volume, change Preference for the bar — "music volume", "sound volume" and "voice volume" respectively for the aforementioned mixers. The register shall stay lowercase. I recommend using "voice" mixer, as that was your goal from the beginning.

Oh yeah! You're right!

I feel kinda stupid to don't understood it by myself! XD

Its work perfectly now! Thanks a lot!

Yep, and if your problem is solved, it would be nice to add something like [SOLVED] to theme's name (by editing the first post) so that the guys who want to help wouldn't mistakenly think this problem is still unanswered.

Hm, i guess i'll go make that advice my signature right now.

Riku, how do you define your character with the callback?

By the way. You don't need to define a new channel. Instead of renpy.music.play(cannel="sound"), you can use renpy.sound.play(...

Riku, how do you define your character with the callback?

define test = Character('test', color="#FFFFFF", callback=callback )

Easy as that!

I don't really understand what do you mean...

I wanted to be able to ajusted the sound in the preferences menu independently from the other sounds...

Thanks, Riku! It works perfectly.

Sorry, my fault. I didn't understand well your first question.

I meant that, in your original solution, when you used the "sound" channel, you could use "renpy.sound.play("sound.ogg")", instead of the longer "renpy.music.play("sound.ogg", channel="sound")". Both work the same, but the first is shorter.

EDIT: sorry again. This function is obsolete. http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... sound.play
