How to remove self-voice?

#1 Post by Keinart » Fri Jan 22, 2016 7:18 pm

So I just found out that renpy now supports self-voice, with a robotic voice. That's nice and all but I want to totally remove it from my game, I'm not talking about taking out the key binding, but totally remove it. The reason is because my game is in spanish and the robotic voice can't really read at all.

Thank you.

Edit: Same for the clipboard-voicing mode, I actually like this one but I want to remove the voice announcing it since having a random voice in english there won't really help to my spanish reader.

Isnt that, like the exact same thing? Considering self voice can only be activated through the key binding.

Also, why would you need to remove it in that case? Yes, it doesn't work, but people are unlikely to turn it on by accident. If they do turn it on then the worst that can happen is that they realize it doesnt work and turn it off again.

Like SundownKid said, by just editing the key binding you'll do fine, because if you want to remove it completely you'll have to mess around with renpy's internal files.

By the way, in my case, my VN is in English and I use Ren'Py in English as well and for some weird reason the self-voicing is in Spanish. I got to think that maybe the self-voicing detects the language of your system.

Er... as documented, the speech synthesizer settings are OS dependent, not internal to renpy. http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/self_voic ... -synthesis

I also agree with everyone above.

It's just that I find weird not being there a command to disable it the same way you can disable quicksave or stuff like that. Anyways I didn't know it used the OS synthesizer to read, I thought it was software included with renpy.

Still my OS is in spanish so I guess I'll have to investigate why it doesn't work. Also the message when reading that appears in the upper left corner is in english and I would like to localize it too, but there doesn't seem to be a way.

Think of it like writing a function but never calling it.

It's there, it's just never used.
