This looks great, cant wait to try it out
Echo - Voice Activation Plugin
- Thread starter Olkan
- Start date
There is a website http://echo.talkativeai.net/
Very interesting... Will be keeping an eye on this thread and developments!
Looks good so far but I have to say I dislike the greyish frame/ helmet border, it's something I dislike in SC too btw. Would be perfect if we could get that without the "helmet border".
I also see from the main website, http://echo.talkativeai.net/, that this only work in borderless or windowed mode. Is this not possible in FS mode due to tech limitations?
I would so love to have such an overlay just for the radio option that worked in full screen.

Impressed.
One little, tiny thing though, which you might appreciate, is to add a comma to the computer's response when addressing you.
eg. "As you wish, commander" instead of "as you wish commander". You'll find that her voice changes accent on the "wish", and will sound more realistic (albeit with a slightly longer delay). I did it for my VA profile and think it works well. Try it out and see what you think.
+1 rep for you anyway, good effort.
Much appreciated ofc, thank you i modified the msg.

You are completely right, it's an external plugin not a modification to the game.

Not at the moment but will be considered when i reach to the "AI Sound effects" feature part.
Have all my rep !
Thank you for bringing this up. as for the helmet border i will provide option to hide/show it, also when reaching to the "Enhancing HUD" feature i will provide few more shapes to helmet.
As for the FS mode, unfortunately this cannot be done (or i don't know other way to do it) without injecting the game process, which i believe violates the EULA for the game. but certainly i will also try to address this in "Enhancing HUD" feature.
Working with the HCS Voice packs would be great, it will make the system even more integrated.
Cool, the displays themselves look really good and I personally feel will look awesome without a helmet border! It's too bad about the lack of fs option due to EULA limitations...
I sometimes wonder what FD are doing and why they don't just outright employ some of you modder guys or officially support your work and allow some few mods to the game.
Keep up the good work!
It's technically a lot more painful. You essentially have to hijack the DirectX dll and inject your drawing operations whenever the target app paints. There would be some performance gains in writing straight DirectX rather than some other framework, but you would have to weigh up the benefit with the effort.
Is there a reason why you require fullscreen?
I had actually taken to playing games in borderless mode because I am using Nvidia's Dynamic Super Resolution. With dual monitors (but only using one for gaming), I found that focusing on the fullscreen game with DSR active pushed everything on the other screen to the side. Borderless resolved that and I really don't see the difference. Well, the only difference I have noticed is that you can't use screen capture software to capture the active "game", I have to capture the desktop instead.
Thank you for the heads up, but which sample are you talking about?
You are not looking for feedback, you are just fishing for compliments! You know this MOD is awesome. Can't wait to get that myself ocne it's finished. I keep an eye on ECHO.

visor overlay.. great work!! very well designed and implemented, i love that your overlay actually leads the user with options/prompts, i have difficulty absorbing and recalling new processes without visual reminders or ques, so that is a real boon for those of us with that problem. your overlay, while maintaining a definite level of separation from the current systems, really does look to be an appropriate enhancement, and in no way looks to be competing for the users attention. again, great work. thanks for the preview.
