STARUI #009: A look at AliveUI 19 (Patreon)

ALIVEUI V19

This is a quick preview of some new features I've been working on for the speaker panel in AliveUI:

refresh button - it's possible now to refresh the sound files without having to reload the plugin

play and stop buttons - they work also with voice sounds that other plugins might be playing on the model

information about the active clip - sound file name, duration and current position

progress bar - allows seeking through the sound files, very helpful for long audio

There's also some fixes and improvements for it.

FURTHER UPDATES TO SPEECH

The plan is to add in the empty black space in the banner more controls to have the model use the selected folder to speak like a NPC. The model will pick at random voice lines from the selected folder. There's going to be some settings to control how often the model speaks. This would allow anyone to create their favorite scenarios with voice acting, that will work in any scene without any setup.

Once that's ready, the plan is to add checkboxes/toggles next to the folder names, to be able to multiselect folders. That will allow the functionality I wrote about recently, of combining folders/playlists, to get custom scenarios with a lot of variety.
