EDDI and NPC text

Apologies if this should be in another forum. EDDI updated itself last night, since then it will read out every single bit of NPC text that appears. It's bad enough reading all that spam, now it gets read to me automatically. Anyone know how to turn it off?

An excellent companion up for Elite dangerous. Connects to the frontier API and providers audio feedback for most things in game, waay too much for me to go into here.

Hi have you tried unchecking the "Message received" box on the speech responder tab. Yep, those NPC chat can really boring very quick with EDDI, but said that EDDI is one of the best apps out there [up] and a must have for me.

Thanks, I looked through the whole responder tab, didn't see anything related to messages, I'll check again. Yep, amazing bit of software, but I don't need to hear the NPC spam constantly :)

Edit - Ok thanks buddy, found it, hopefully that fixes the issue. TBh I liked the way it read Cmdr messages, it's just the NPC's I'd like it to ignore.

Doable, if you have already made your own personality to actually be able to edit the scripts.

When you edit the 'message received' and remove the following outlined in bold, NPC messages won't be read out anymore:

Code: 
{_ Context }
{SetState('eddi_context_last_subject', 'message')}
{SetState('eddi_context_last_action', 'receive')}
{SetState('eddi_context_message_name', event.from)}
{SetState('eddi_context_message_content', event.message)}

{if event.player = true:
    {if event.message = "o7":
        {event.from} salutes
        {if event.channel = "player":
            you
        }.
    |else:
        Message received from {event.source} {event.from}.  Message reads: {event.message}.
    }
[B]|elif event.source != "Station":
    Message received from {event.source} {event.from}.  Message reads: {event.message}.[/B]
}

You have to make your own 'personality' first, saving it to a new name and supply a description. Not in front of my gaming rig atm, but it should be on the EDDI page when opening the config, afaik. After that, you can uncheck MOST scripts in the speech responder tab, but not all. Some are not scripts which are called on an 'event' from the journal, but are functions invoked out of different scripts. These can be edited, but not unchecked.

EDDI is a really good companion app when playing in VR. I link it with Voice Attack and one of the HCS packs, and it pretty much covers all my requirements. I keep meaning to get a Cereproc voice though - I just can't decide which accent to go for.

I too dislike my EDDI reading everything the NPC's say, mainly because the Elite G19 Companion App does it so much better. It uses all of the TTS voices on your computer, modifies them a bit to make even more voices, and ends up sounding pretty natural to boot. I love EDDI reading me Cmdr texts, and now that I've modified the responder as punkerich showed I'm a happy camper again.

Yeah, only issue i have with G19s there is that you get multiple messages from the same ship and each can be in a different voice. However, it is consistent when doing the app generated speech, each "ship pilot" always having a consistent voice... even if those ships are not actually in-game. An improvement from G19s might be (if possible) to identify other ships flying around and use their IDs for the simulated messages.
