Thank you for pointing this out! To help with this, I restored an older version of the plugin, which does exactly that. You can read about the pros and cons of the two different versions here.
Viewing post in Speech Pauses for Ren'Py comments
This should be doable if you add
or renpy.get_statement_name() == "say-nvl"
to the bigger conditional inside the "add_speech_pauses" function. So it should look like:
def add_speech_pauses(text_input): if prev_filter: text_input = prev_filter(text_input) if persistent.speech_pauses is not True or preferences.text_cps == 0 or renpy.get_statement_name() == "say-nvl": return text_input return speech_pause_adder(text_input)
