Sorry for my absence. I am recovering from a recent Covid infection. Dr told me I can return to work ( wfh ) Sunday. Not sure about that timetable…

I just figured out how to make subtitles work in TDM (srt) for ingame cutscenes and how to automatically generate the srt file in Kdenlive's speech recognition (I just had to edit it a bit).

Kdenlive is a free and open source multiplatform pretty advanced video editor.

Test case is the first builder gost scene in Requiem saying:

1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:02,140
the builder be with you this night

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,840
there will be secrets all around you

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,439
so have a keen eye

The following page gives you the basic info:

These 2 tutorials give you the info for creating the srt files:

If you run into the problem the Kdenlive cannot find your Python PATH, then here is a solution:

Edit: During the installation of Python, in the installer, if you select more options, you can specify to set the PATH. I tried this on another Windows computer and this fixed the issue. Much easier solution.

This is all the code for the testcase:

// Requiem subtitles

subtitles fm_root {
    verbosity story
    srt "sound/voices/Hanno1.ogg" "subtitles/hanno1.srt"
}

1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:02,140
the builder be with you this night

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,840
there will be secrets all around you

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,439
so have a keen eye

Maybe I will create a seperate (text,images based) tutorial on the wiki.

Please, can we finally group the missions by year in the game menu?

I'm beginning to understand why people who aren't into social clubbing "don't last long" on this project, and why it's so full of holes. When moderators are siding with bullies, by closing down threads that they derail, then I start to wonder if I should support the platform to begin with.

I'm sure that the core development is solid, but when you're constantly tone policed and bullied, and moderators are playing into it too, then the project will just drive away talent, and replace it with socialites instead. ...and without talent, you only end up with a small skeleton crew trying to do everything themselves.

...so Dragofer and Airship Ballet, and all you other socialites, you win. From now on I'll just keep to myself. You'll never be able to do my work, but at least you'll be happy together, and that's what matters to you.

Update

Actually, I have to revise my statement:
I actually messaged greebo - the top dog, I gather - about nbohr1more's outburst of insanity below, and since I haven't even heard back from him, I just have to assume that there's not a single core programmer here, who's not backing nbohr's threats. ...and that's bad.

...so if you're a newbie reading this, or an honest soul like ZergRush, then just slowly back out of these forums, run, and don't look back. This is nothing more than a cult posing as a game development project, using Thief and IDTech4 to sucker hopefuls in, to do work for them, while trying to cajole them into something going on behind the scenes, which apparently - according to nbohr - is something that should be hidden from the state. These people aren't programmers - they don't even understand things like how to fix the simplest bugs. All they have, is an engine, and an IP, and some sort of fascist social cult. There was some other project I saw being made in the Unreal Engine. Try joining that project. ...or start a project of your own. Anything but this asylum.

Hopefully that was "divisive" enough for a final post, because at this point I really want people to leave this place. This project is, on a management level, just awful garbage, run by garbage people, apparently from the top down, and I'm just glad that they have a garbage place to stay, together, and hopefully forever.
