Ren'py-Animalese Readme

Files that must be moved into another project in order to function:

• The full "pydub" folder
• the full "audio" folder
• The character callbacks in script.rpy, modified for the names of your own characters.
• speak.rpy

Enjoy making your own samples and using this Animalese generator in your projects!

IMPORTANT NOTE: TEXT SPEED (IN OPTIONS.RPY) MUST BE MODIFIED FROM INSTANT (AKA NOT EQUAL TO 0) FOR THIS TO WORK IN OTHER PROJECTS.

What is this?

The "animalese.py" script, is a Python script intended to emulate the vocalisations of characters from the Animal Crossing series.

Installation

In order to run this script, you will need to install Python, available from the following website: https://www.python.org/downloads/

When installing, make sure you check the box asking to add python to your $PATH variable (otherwise this will have to be done manually!).

Once Python is installed, you will require the following additional packages for Python:

• wave
• pydub

To install these files, open the command prompt:

• On Windows:
  • Press Window Key + R
  • Type in "cmd"
  • Hit ENTER
• On iOS:
  • Press Command Key + Space
  • Type in "terminal"
  • Hit ENTER

Once this window is open, type the following commands:

    pip install wave
    pip install pydub

How to use

Once Python has been installed, along with the required packages, you can run the script in one of two ways:

• From command line/terminal:
  • Navigate to the same directory of animalese.py script.
  • Run the command:

        ./animalese.py "Text you wish to hear."

• By editing and double clicking on the file:
  • Open the file, and alter the "Hello world!" message on like 78 to the text you wish to hear.
  • Double click on the "animalese.py" file.
