1.12 - Add more tags to default scanlist

Ren'py Alt Scanner
A downloadable Tool

This one is very simple, and some of you have probably done it on your own.

Ren’py allows creator to render an image alongside text

Eileen "Hi {image=heart.png}!"

You might want to provide alts for these (and you probably should) and they’re quite easily missable.

The {noalt} tag is used to make sure a certain element does not get passed to text-to-speech, but without a matching {alt} tag the player may miss something.

For this reason, I choose to include both of them to the default scanlist.

What is next? The obvious path is to improve the searching capability to reduce false positive, and make it more robust so lines with textbutton ("Ghalta") doesn’t trip it up for no reason.

I’m not so sure. I make this tool mostly for myself and I don’t know what people are expecting out of it, though I’d heard about looking for image captions and uncaptioned transitions in game scripts. Interesting proposition, honestly.
