Typing sounds work in the editor but do not work on export

[DancingEngie]

The problem

Describe the bug
When providing a style with a typing sounds folder, the typing sounds can be heard in the editor but not on export.

To Reproduce

1. Create a new timeline and character, and write some sample dialogue.
2. Choose any style and provide it with a typing SFX folder in the "sounds" tab.
3. Call the new timeline by any means you see fit.
4. Play the timeline in the editor, and see that everything is working properly.
5. Export the game and launch it.
6. Observe that dialogues have no typing SFX.

Expected behavior
Typing sounds should be heard in all platforms.

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Godot Version: 4.1.2
• Dialogic Version: Alpha 10

Solutions

Workaround

After many, MANY attempts with console printouts, I found that the load_sounds_from_path function does not recognize exported .wav files. It does, however, recognize .import files. Therefore, this (extremely dirty) rewrite works:

static func load_sounds_from_path(path:String):
	var dir = DirAccess.open(path)
	var sounds : Array[AudioStream]
	if dir:
		dir.list_dir_begin()
		var file_name = dir.get_next()
		while file_name != "":
			print(file_name)
			if file_name.get_extension() == "import":
				file_name = file_name.split(".import")[0]
				var stream:AudioStream = load(path + "/" + file_name)
				sounds.append(stream)
			file_name = dir.get_next()
	return sounds

Possible fixes

Rewriting the function to work with Godot's internal build logic, I guess. Maybe it's something that needs to be brought up with the engine, but I dunno, I'm a noob.

@DancingEngie Thanks for the report!
We've had similar struggles before so I will try to fix it as best as possible for the next release.

I think this is fixed now on main.

I think this is fixed now on main.

For some reason defining the var type in the for loop breaks that segment. Removing that makes everything actually work. Dunno why. But other than that, the issue is indeed fixed.

[Jowan-Spooner]

Oh damn. I'm so dumb. I'm already using 4.2 alpha 3 and it has static typing in for-loops.
Will remove this. We still need to decide whether we want to increase the minimal needed godot version again.
