I mean voices off screen. For example the statue close up in the Indy4 intro or Flint, the neighbour in Sam&Max. All the people you can not see at the time they are speaking. In these cases you have always subtitles.

The subtitles are suppressed in string.cpp, function CHARSET_1:
if (!(a && _noSubtitles)) charset.printChar(c); However, this won't work if there is no actor set, and my guess would be that for off-voices, there is indeed no actor set.
So the proper way to handle this might be to detect for a given text if there is a spoken variant of it, too. But I have no clue how hard that would be, or if it possible at all, since i don't know really how that stuff is handled.

I spotted a case, where it is actually vice versa. Subtitles should display, but don't wiht '-n' specified. It happens outside Bumpusville using the wishing well the 2nd time. Max' thoughts should display then. Checking for a spoken variant would solve this as well, since Max doesn't say anything in this scene.

Well, what you need to do is look at decodeParseString and decodeParseString2 in script.cpp/script2.cpp and ActorTalk in actor.cpp - those are the main functions controlling text output.
Something someone might want to look at is Var[60]. That should be set to 1 if subtitles are being supressed. Certain games will output different strings depending on the value of var[60].

I checked in a fix for this; it helps in the cases I tested, but probably needs more testing, so if you notice anything odd, tell me. Logicdeluxe, can you check if it helps in Bumpusville using the wishing well, too?

"Zu frh gefreut" as we say in Germany :-) If one talks to the guy in snuckey, his subtitles still appear. Also when you talk on the carnival to the flame throwing guy. It seems the subtitles are only suppressed for the first sentence. Will play some more with it.

OK, another attempt. This time I tested it better, and in all cases (including wishing well and Snuckey) did it work perfect. Tested with Sam'n'Max and DOTT.
Please give it a try and tell me if it works for you.

Gee, since nobody is complaining, I am closing this. If you encounter any problems, feel to reopen :-)

What do you mean by "Off" voices?
