Problems using voice in NVL mode/ center yalign

[Kinmoku]

Hi all,

I have a problem displaying my nvl text which uses voice. I want a block of text to be centered vertically, but my voice files are split in two. At the moment, the code has yalign 0.5 and works as it should... However, the additional lines appear underneath and are squashed at the bottom of the screen. I would like the whole block of text to be vertically aligned, not just the first line.

I know the best way to do this is to have a bigger paragraph and break it up with {w} or {nw}, but I have two voice files and I want to keep them separate so the player isn't overwhelmed by narration.

I either need a solution to start the second voice file mid paragraph (and use {w}), or I need to be able to center yalign a block of text.

I have several voiced narration blocks like this, so the height will be different each time, meaning I can't tweak the padding to make it work (unless I make several nvl styles...)

Here is my text block:

Code: Select all

voice "voice/session1_line1.ogg"
    n "This is my first line of dialogue which is a lot longer than the next two."

    voice "voice/session1_line2.ogg"
    n "This is the second line…{w=1.0}{nw}"

    voice sustain
    n "...which is split into another."

    nvl clear

And my nvl code in GUI:

Code: Select all

define gui.nvl_height = None

define gui.nvl_text_xpos = 0.5
define gui.nvl_text_ypos = 0.5

I feel like this is probably possible, but after searching the forums for a while, I can't find a solution for this particular problem.

Thank you in advance

Just bumping this in case anyone can help.

I would like a minimal reproducible example, so I could poke around and see, what is causing you problems, instead of guessing.

You can pass style you want to use to the character, so it would be different from normal. Alternatively, you can even change the layout of copy of say screen itself and make segment, where you have problems, use that screen.
