I'm having trouble with line 3:

Code: ags

int calculateDefaultTextWidth(Character* c)
{
  int w = System.ViewportWidth * 2/3;
  if(c.x - GetViewportX() <= System.ViewportWidth/4 || c.x - GetViewportX() >= System.ViewportWidth * 3/4)
    w -= System.ViewportWidth/5;
  return w;
}

error is: SpeechBubble_0.8.0.asc(1059): Error (line 1059): '.ViewportWidth' is not a public member of 'System'.

This is with AGS 3.5.0b5
Making a new version for this AGS?

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this problem with the site, but I copy+paste text - from an actual text document or filename - it comes out incredibly tiny. If I insert it into a link, it refuses to be part of the link. Somehow [ size ] tags are getting in there, but I can't edit them, and I have no idea how to get rid of them or why they're coming across from eg. part of a link in Notepad, the browser address bar, etc.


example:

That's the one, thankyou

My Inventory window icons dissappear when the character is talking, even if it's just .Say
Is this an AGS thing or a TotalLipSync thing?

My code works, but perhaps not in all situations.
All good, I'm happy with it so far, take your time

Too late, I wrote some shitty poorly tested code!

This is the same code as SayBubble, but with one parameter change (from true to false) on line 10:

Code: ags

void ThinkBubble(this Character*, String message, GUI* bubbleGui)
{
  if(message == null) return;
  if(!game.bgspeech_stay_on_display)
    _stopAllBackgroundBubbles();
  if((Speech.VoiceMode == eSpeechVoiceOnly && hasVoiceClip(message)) || message == "...")
    this.SB_sayImpl(message);
  else
  {
    DynamicSprite* bubbleSprite = this.renderBubble32(message, false);  //<--- SETTING THIS TO FALSE WAS ALL I HAD TO DO
    // Position bubble over character head
    int x = this.x - GetViewportX() - bubbleSprite.Width/2;
    x = _clampInt(x, 0, System.ViewportWidth - bubbleSprite.Width);
    int y = this.y - GetViewportY() - bubbleSprite.Height - this.GetHeight() - (_heightOverHead - _talkTailHeight + 1);
    y = _clampInt(y, 0, System.ViewportHeight - bubbleSprite.Height);

    this.realSayAtBubble(x, y, message, bubbleGui, bubbleSprite);
  }	
}

Snarky, can you give us an ETA on 'ThinkBubble' function?
I would guess you just run speechbubble, but with 1 parameter change: to display the 3 bubbles going to the rounded corner box, instead of the angled-line going from the round corner box.

[So aaaaaanyway, how does TLS do it's timing?How does Rhubarb do it's timing,]

Hi Snarky,

The speech animation delay seems to be too slow for TotalLipSync - no matter what I set a characters to (1, 5, -25, 30), it doesn't make a difference.
What Speech Animation Delay does TLS use?
ATM I'm using 120fps ('GameSpeed'), so I can use a AnimationDelay=1, and not -7 as it was before (on 40fps). I was told using negatives for AnimationSpeed, WalkSpeed, etc. was bad and 'unknowns'.

Code: ags

cJulius.ChangeView(1);		//julius
cJulius.SpeechView=2;		//julius speech
cJulius.AnimationSpeed=1;	//normal animation speed
cJulius.SetWalkSpeed(7, 6);	//normal walk speed

...though I still use some negatives - for an old man:

Code: ags

cJulius.AnimationSpeed=0;		//old animation speed
cJulius.SetWalkSpeed(1, 1);	//old walk speed

No negatives have caused problems, but still.
I have 30frames walking for all characters.

So aaaaaanyway, how does TLS do it's timing?
How does Rhubarb do it's timing, considering it's file is in tenths of a second:

Code: ags

0.00	A
0.50	F
0.83	C
0.90	G
0.97	A
1.05	B
1.53	A
1.61	C
1.80	B
1.87	X
2.38	X

Ah, okay.

Exactly how does the EXE reference it's own install dir? Should I make it '/sync/' or 'C:/moci/Compile/Windows/sync' or...?
It seems the directory where the TSV files are stored is hard-coded in, so it will only work if the game is in '/programme files (x86)/moci/sync', and nothing else -- which makes it hard for testing.

But if the game searches for sync/ and not Windows/sync/ ?...
Oh well I'll change it.

I am curious - haven't yet tried a comipiled game...
If my sync/ folder is Compiled/; but my actual game is in Compiled/Windows/ - does this mean I include the sync directory in Windows/ too? Is the sync/ files just compiled into the game EXE?

False alarm, it was to do with the number of frames in the speech view (I added 9, but whatever, it's 10 frames... but 9 frame descriptors XAB..GH. So who knows). Should have checked all, sorry

I have a strange problem.

I'm using a different movement view, and speech view, for my character. Before this, no bug; now, the compiler will randomly choose a point and then crash with a runtime error:



But then, if I toggle breakpoints in the file in one of the sections leading to the error (line 649), I can do the same thing, but no crash:




This would appear to be a timing issue, as I've checked everything else; all frames and movement and speech are the same as the original character, nothing is missing. No idea how the module works though; it appears to crashing on speechstyle=lucasarts...?

Ps. my game is lucasarts/rhubarb.

Please help.

May I suggest changing
#define TLS_PHONEMES_LINE_MAX 50
To
#define TLS_PHONEMES_LINE_MAX 5000

This had me running out of space in a 13 second audio file.

Excellent, thankyou for all you've done

Okay I've converted all files to TSV etc
One last question: where do I put the TSV files?
My game files are in K:\
The speech (as .OGG files) is in K:\gamename\Speech\
The WAV files for speech is in K:\gamename\Speech\WAV (I use .OGG files)

Do I put the TSV's in the Speech dir?...

I notice '$INSTALLDIR$/sync' - is this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adventure Game Studio 3.4.0\sync" or "my installed game\sync" dir, or "my currently un-installed un-compiled game directory\sync", or...?
