Code: Select all

init python:

    if renpy.windows:
        config.tts_voice = "Mark"
    elif renpy.macintosh:
        config.tts_voice = "Alex"
    elif renpy.linux:
        config.tts_voice = "english_rp"

Hello everyone, I accidentally saw the code from the tts_voice
And studying what kind of voices men and women have in general, I came across a site

Looking through the code, I saw confirmation that there is a male and female version of the voice.

And the idea came to me, is it possible to automate the code for the characters of the game

Code: Select all

 
 Character(_("Anna"),  color = "#ffffff,  tts_voice ="Zira")

Character(_("Mark"),  color = "#ffffff,  tts_voice ="Mark")

And for the main game, use the default code

Code: Select all

init python:
    if renpy.windows:
        config.tts_voice = "Mark"

Then another question arose in my head, okay, we’ll find a way to prescribe a self voice in a character, but it’s tedious to prescribe manually for everyone. Is it possible to prescribe a gender for each character, and renpy will choose one voice or another

Code: Select all

 
 Character(_("Anna"),  color = "#ffffff,  tts_voice ="female")

Character(_("Mark"),  color = "#ffffff,  tts_voice ="male")


init python:
    if renpy.windows:
        If male:
             config.language.tts_voice = "boy"
        If female:
             config.language.tts_voice = "girl"  

I just wrote the code myself to show what I mean.

Another question is related to history.

Code: Select all

screen history():

    tag menu

    ## Avoid predicting this screen as it can be very
    ## massive.
    predict False

    use game_menu(_("History"), scroll=("vpgrid" if gui.history_height else "viewport"), yinitial=1.0):

        style_prefix "history"

        for h in _history_list:

            windows:

                ## This will properly equalize if history_height is
                ## is set to None.
                has fixed:
                    yfit True

                if h.who:
############################################################################
                    if h.voice and h.voice.filename:                                          ###Here, of course, it is better to put a graphic button, less hassle with setting its location
                        textbutton "Play" action Play("voice", h.voice.filename)
                        
                    textbutton "TTS Voice" action Play("voice", tts.voice)
############################################################################
                    label h.who:
                        style "history_name"
                        substitute False

                        ## Gets the color from the character's who parameter, if it
                        ## installed.
                        if "color" in h.who_args:
                            text_color h.who_args["color"]

                $ what = renpy.filter_text_tags(h.what, allow=gui.history_allow_tags)
                text what:
                    substitute False

        if not _history_list:
            label _("History of dialogs is empty.")

Make a button in the story sound using the self voice.

As a student of foreign languages, such a feature in the project would be very useful to me.
