Not an Issue, but a Question and possible Improvement. #45

I was wondering if there was anyway to implement a separate feature for voice acting and sound effects? When I read visual novels like Never7 or Fate/Stay Night I really like having the sound effects on but without the voice acting. However, with the current build the sound effect is tied to the voice acting, so I was wondering if there was anyway to separate the two and create two distinct features. If not, no big deal just wanted to know if it was something you might have considered and if it was possible at all. Thanks for all the improvements and work you've done. Great work, take care. I hope to hear back from you. Take care.

Hello. Tragically, the original VNDS programming language doesn't differentiate between voice and regular sound effects. So there's isn't a general way I can treat them differently.

If you deleted all of the sound files except for the SFX and BGM, then that would work. But because they get packed into the archive, you would have to do so before running the game converter. And, even then, you would have to hope that there is some way to tell them apart using their filenames so you could easily delete the right ones.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it. Thanks for clarify that for me. All your hard work has given us a really impressive visual novel reader that I use all the time. Take care. If we could have solved this issue then damn that would have been groundbreaking.
