How to end sound file playing (voice tag)

[The_Gnat]

I am using the voice= tag in the story of my scenario:

Code: Select all

        [part]
            story= _ "Years pass. Every summer when the mountain passes become clear, the lich sends his soldiers to attack the orcs, removing any human, elven, or dwarvish patrols that get in the way. Every year the undead inflict some damage before being repelled and retreating to the caves."
            {STORYTXT_BACKGROUND end.jpg}
			voice=decent_into_darkness/Descent121.ogg
        [/part]

But if I press the "skip" button while the sound file is playing, it continues to play even while the scenario is running. This is a bad behavior because then the voice over is playing while you are moving your units.

So my question is: how can I fire an event that stop the voice sound file from play?

Thank you!

P.S. - I have tried using:

Code: Select all

[music]
	name=the_city_falls.ogg
	append=no
	ms_before=8000
[/music]

And unfortunately it doesn't stop the voice from playing (which makes sense because the 'music' volume control in preferences does not effect the voice's volume so clearly music and voiceovers are not related).

I have also tried (which doesn't work either):

Code: Select all

[music]
	name=horn-signals/horn-1.ogg
	repeat=1
[/music]

But if I press the "skip" button while the sound file is playing, it continues to play even while the scenario is running. This is a bad behavior because then the voice over is playing while you are moving your units.

sounds like a bug to be consider filing a bugerport at https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues

Here I have posted the issue on git hub: #3832

The voice is a sound source, so you should be able to stop it as one. Try this workaround:

Code: Select all

[remove_sound_source]
	id=wml_message_speaker
[/remove_sound_source

It's still a bug though, so don't go closing the issue or anything.

EDIT: Whoops, I just noticed you were using voice= in [story], not in [message], so that might not work...

EDIT2: Okay, looking over the source suggests that there's no good way of doing it, though maybe if you added 255 empty sound sources it might clear it...

That isn't an ideal solution but I appreciate you considering it more.

Yeah, it's not ideal, and I don't know if it would even work.
