This is an awesome Voice Pack. Too bad Airflint isn't around anymore, would love for the lovely lady to add responses for TrackIR commands I've added to the profile.

Can't you add some of the responses that are already there? I have found several that are not even used in the sound folder.

Didn't know there were unused ones, however I did you one better. I made my own responses by splicing a couple of sound files together. So when I say, "Track on," she says, "Tracking activated." When I say, "Track off," she says, "Tracking deactivated." Lastly, when I say, "Center," she says, "Tracking reset." Sounds pretty seamless.

Haven't done something like this since NHL 09 when I got the announcers to say my last name. Now that was some creative editing.

Just a quick note that the KICS website is back up. Ripley Galactic | Total System Control


I have had an email from Arflint, and he is super swamped with work but is hoping to get back online Soontm.

Thanks Loriath! You're a legend.

If there's something that bakes my noodle is how fiddly web sites can be, after trying out a couple of other cms packages like Bolt, Anchor, Razer I've dropped back to Wordpress.

Oh, and KICS 4 development is underway in earnest now. If you want to have commands included, submit your request now: http://ripleygalactic.com/requests/

Not sure if it is possible, but some variable that the user can set up as a pre command.

I manually edit all my KICS commands with a pre fix such as "computer" eg "Computer Gears Up"

I find this MUCH safer and gives less false recognitions via Voice Recognition.

The problem is editing the KICS config takes ages to add in the prefix and is there was any way you could replace / amend in a prefix that you could set once at the top of the KICS list, this would prove to be extremely useful.

KICS has secure mode which does this for you, just say "Secure mode" then commands will only work if prefixed by KICS or Computer :)

There an easy way to change the name of your "Senior Officer" (lol) to something else? Find and replace in a file or something?

Thanks you two, AMAZING!

Open up the Kicks Profile inside of Voice Attack and in the search box at the bottom, type Computer to see the command that sets the name. It is set to respond to both KICKS (phonetic name) and Computer. Change or Add to it what you want. Although, it is hard programmed in a sound file if you ask "Who are you?" it will say "I am KICS..." But if you don't use that command, you can call it BOB or whatever you want.

Are the "power to engines/system/weapons" commands suppose to max pip them?

I would have though that there would be an "Increase Power to XXX" to put just one pip to it and then a "All power to XXX" to max them.

Perhaps I'm missing something.



I also figured I'd try to edit/customize some of the commands... man, I'm in way over my head on however this thing works. My coding skills are actually in the negative...

Hello there commanders!
I've made a new command based on existing ones called "Prepare for jump/Prepare to jump"
What is does is to check that hardpoints are not deploed, landing gear is up and that cargo scoop is up. And fixes problems if anything is deployed. Then you are good to go for jump.
All you have to do is to import the command into your kics 3 profile.
Here it is: REMOVED

PS.
I made a request for this command to be added into kics 4.

Edit: Noticed bugs, not working correctly yet, removed link

Arflint -
Thanks to you and your security officer for making kics. She has such a pleasant sounding voice!

Although, it must be kind of weird for you to hear her while you are playing. And it's missing a "make me a sandwich" command and response.

Any hints as to what might be in v4?

I'm having some wierd problem where none of the mp3s are being played... The commands work flawlessly but it just refuses to "see" the confirmation sounds. I've tried moving them to different directorys and changing settings but to no avail.. the errors that I'm getting are one of two types:
5:30:26 AM - Unable to play sound : [Legacy audio requires a valid wave file. (C:\Program Files (x86)\VoiceAttack\Sounds\Ripley Galactic\KICS\Misc Anytime Commander.mp3)]
Click to expand...
or
[another one that I cant replicate right now but its saying it cant find the file....]

The files play fine in VLC when I run them manually... Any suggestions?

To have Voice Attack play the MP3 files, it requires that Windows Media player be properly installed. Try shift-right clicking on one of the MP3 files and select open with Windows Media Player. If you don't see it, it may not be properly installed. You can fix that by going to windows Control Panel - Programs and select Turn Windows Features On and Off.

Expand the media branch. If Media Player is NOT checked, Check it and hit ok. Once it is done reboot and try again. If Media Player IS checked, uncheck, and hit OK. Then go back in and Check it and hit ok. Wait till it is done and then reboot and try again.

Hey ZeuSVI,

Thanks for your suggestion, I did see it on the site and have a slight problem with implementing this and here's why:

VoiceAttack doesn't see anything in the game - It does not know whether your landing gear is actually up or down, or whether you cargo scoop is open or not. So the only way to make this command work would be for me to set variables and hope that you always use a command when retracting your landing gear or cargo scoop.

I am not sure everyone uses commands all the time. There are times when I simply hit the cargo scoop button on the keyboard rather than saying the command. Doing this will mean that KICS will think it's down rather than up, and then when attempting to Jump, will deploy it instead of retracting it.

I don't know, what do you think? At the moment, KICS 4 is not setting those kinds of variables, meaning that you could drop the scoop or raise the scoop with the same command, however, "Deploy cargo scoop" and "Retract cargo scoop" will provide you with different audio files.

Feedback would be good here - not sure what would be more pleasant to play with? I have had negative feedback in the past for these types of variables and the erratic behaviour that results.

Yes KICS 4 is still in development :)
