Voice support

[zen]

Back after a long absence, testing out version 5.3 on an old script that was unfinished. Voice seems not to work. As a test, I started a new game using the default template. To the option.rpy file I appended the contents of the voice.rpy file (version 5.3). To the script.rpy file i added the line: voice "welcome.wav" between the two lines of script. Set config.has_voice = True In the game directory I added a file named welcome.wav, trying a standard .wav, a speex .wav version, and a .ogg version. No voice is heard.

As a test, I enabled the option: config.sample_voice = "welcome.wav" , and voice is heard upon pressing test, in all three formats.

Any suggestions?

Also, documentation is unclear in voice.rpy on how to use the "new?" of specifying a voice per character. Could not find anything about it in the reference guide. I would be glad to contribute the missing voice section to the demo once I sort this out.

Thanks.

I'm confused as to what you did. You should be using 5.6.4 (or .5, which I actually have to release), and then to play voice you would write:

Code: Select all

voice "hello.ogg"
e "Hello, world!"

^^That's what I use for the massive amount of voice-acting in my game. Works fine.

Ok, upgraded to version 5.6.5 I was testing on version 5.6.3, sorry for the typo.

In version 4.x, you had to copy in the voice code from the file voice.rpy found in the common folder. It appears that the voice function is now already included in version 5.x , and duplicating this code was causing it to fail. Everything worked fine once I removed the voice.rpy code I added in. Thanks.

It's always good to hear a problem successfully solved .
