- simply added the ambient_base sound to the game. its actually a very small sound file, so we could layer on other ambient sounds on top that are queued by different parts of the level in the future if we wanted.
- because this is an activeSound it is also effected by the bug where if you save and reload it is no longer playing (just like the current glados voice line activeSound)
- tested in entire game seems to work well.
- added subtitles.h as dependency in a few places in makefile
- moved making a directory for the subtitles.h/.c to inside the python script
- fixed pathing for a #include
building is now working for me.
- python file added and invoked at make that produces a subtitles.c and subtitles.h synamically based on the closed captions files present inside of the resource/ folder
- added an in-game slider to choose from the languages which were dynamically loaded at time of building.
- if no closecaption files are present at the time of building, the script will still make the subtitles.c/.h but it just wont have any data. This will also result in the two menu items relating to closed captions being removed.
- the names of subtitles in the .yaml files are the upercase versions of the names of subtitles in each subtitle file, so that they are easy to find.
- fixed margins on sides of subtitles
- fixed color of subtitles to be more visible
- sped up the fade in and out animations.
- automated new-line breaks.
Issues I have seen:
- if you load more than like 6 closed caption languages into the resource/ folder the game doesnt seem to want to start up once built. I think this is due to the sheer size of the subtitles.c file that is generated. I would love some feedback on how to make this work a little better/be more memory efficient, as it would be nice to have every closed caption language available on every build.
- languages with very unique characters (chinese, japanese, korean, greek, etc.) do not work because the python codec that is used to decode/encode the files doesnt support them. for now that logic is in a try/except so it wont fail, it will simply skip a language that is not supported.
