VoiceAttack
===========
((EDDI docked))
- Changed the keypress function calls for automatically entering the hangar to 'one left' instead of 'three right'. This is faster, and should stop instances of keypresses being messed up by the game (it sometimes lagged and ended up doing four right and clicking 'refuel' instead).
((EDDI npc interdiction commenced))
- Changed the name of this to use lowercase 'npc' as that is the correct format, so this should work as intended now.
- Added unblocking mouse and keyboard, in case this cancels 'Autoroute' halfway through, while the mouse and keyboard are blocked.
((EDDI shutdown))
- Copied the write to file code from the 'Update Mission Route' command. This makes things bit simpler than what I had originally.
- Removed setting [gameshutdown] as no longer needed.
- Added a 2 second pause to ensure that the 'missionsdata' variable is correctly set first.
((EDDI undocked))
- Changed setting to allow other commands to execute while this is running. This should stop the log spam when targetting other ships just after takeoff.
- Updated the launch speech section. Because there is no way to know if your Advanced Docking computer is set to work on launch, I've added a check for controls being used to take off. It's not 100% perfect, but close enough to work almost all of the time.
* Note: make sure your VA is set to use Joysticks if you use a joystick/flight stick. This is in Settings -> General -> Joystick Options button.
Update Mission Route
- Removed the [gameshutdown] check as no longer needed.
EDDI
====
General
- Updated all instances of 'ship.role' to 'ship.Role.invariantName' to be language independent.
This applies to the following scripts:
- Body mapped
- Discovery scan
- Location
- Market information updated
- Ring mapped
- Star scanned
- System scan complete
- New 'feature': Log off/on speech reduction.
For those farming materials who log off and on again quickly to respawn material sites, I have added some code in several events that should help to reduce the amount of speech done when loading a game. This was done at the request of (and with help from) CMDR Parduz from the ED forums.
Full speech will be performed when you first start a game, but be reduced when logging off/on. The full speech will be re-enabled if you enter supercruise/FSD, or be performed a single time when a 10 minute timer expires.
It mainly involves setting State variables, then checking them: state.eddi_logoff, state.eddi_relog, and state.eddi_logoff_time.
New code in:
- FSD engaged
- Location
- Mission check galaxy
- Music
- Shutdown
- Surface signals detected
Bodies to map
- Added full description of the mappable bodies, as suggested by Cmdr PHORO on the ED forums.
- Added two new variables for reporting: mapDistance and mapHighVal. Set in 'Body Mapping Preferences', see below.
- Rearranged the order items are reported in the full report. Makes it sound a bit better.
- Added the ability to give a short report or a fully detailed report. This uses a new configuration option for the report type: mapReportType. Set in 'Body Mapping Preferences', see below.
- Updated the check for "not yet scanned" in the 'reportNoBodies' section. This was occasionally being spoken even when all bodies had been scanned in systems with only stars in.
- Added the same checks to the speech in the "all bodies mapped" section. Sometimes there is no Journal event to say a body has been scanned, so EDDI doesn't know about it and thinks some bodies have not been scanned yet, even though they have. Proposed possible fix raised on Github #2315. (This should now be fixed in v4.0.2)
- Added a check for the 'Location' event, so that the short verison will be spoken on game start.
- Added Humanise() to the body's distance from arrival, if it's more than 800 Ls.
Body Mapping Preferences
- Added new configuration options:
mapDistance - Maximum distance in Ls from main star, to report bodies (default: 9999999)
mapHighVal - High value threshold for always reporting a mappable body (for overriding mapDistance) (default: 800000)
mapReportType
0 - Basic body report only (original EDDI default setting)
1 - Full body report first time and basic after that (new default setting)
2 - Full body report at all times
Community goal
- Updated the duration section to use the 'Time Remaining' function.
- Updated the reward section to report based on if the event has ended or not, and if Tier 1 has been reached or not.
Entered normal space
- Updated script to specify Community Goals as separate from normal missions.
- Updated the 'Station' section to add the word "the" if it is not already part of a megaship name, and not for starports also.
- Updated to use 'model' to store the '.invariant' station model names.
FSD engaged
- Updated 'not scoopable' section to only speak if a scoop is fitted to the ship (if you don't have one, you don't care if a star is scoopable).
Location
- Added a check for the last log off time, to skip speech if it's less than 10 minutes. See 'Music' below.
Market information updated
- Added code to prevent repeated speech in quick succession.
Material collected
- Removed the added (and unnecessary) hyphen from 'Obtained'.
Mission accepted
- Added a section near the end to report when all passenger cabins are now occupied.
Mission check station
- Added code to specify Community Goals as separate from normal missions.
- Updated the 'mission.status' variables to use 'mission.statusEDName' like the other 'Mission check...' scripts.
Mission completed
- Fixed initial check for 'active' missions in the last code block (line 138). If 'active' is void (can happen when taking missions from comms messages) this was triggering the wrong part, and would incorrectly say you still had "-1 missions".
Mission redirected
- Added code to set 'miss_name' from 'MissionDetails()', and check/use this instead of 'event.name'. 'event.name' seems to be bugged and never set (always void). Reported on Github #2296 (This should now be fixed in v4.0.2).
Missions Route Fast
- Updated the section reporting how many light years away your destination is. This should ignore '0' (zero) at the end of any distance less than 100 LY, for example "59.0" will be said as "59".
- Updated initial IF check in the missions FOR loop to ignore Community Goals.
Music
- Added a check for logging out to the main menu, and setting a State variable of the timestamp. This is then used to check for a relog in the 'Location' and 'Surface signals detected' events, allowing them to skip speech. This is useful when doing quick relogs. Thanks to CMDR Parduz from the forums for the idea.
Repair drone
- Updated script to use List() for reporting, instead of the loop at the end.
Shields down
- Returned "vun-erable" to the correct spelling of "vulnerable" as using a lexicon for my TTS makes this unnecessary.
- Corrected "shield" to "Shield" in the check for a shield generator.
Ship interdicted
- Corrected setting 'ship', instead of 'shiptype', to 'event.interdictor'.
- Updated to correct how 'Indepenent' pilots are described.
Ship repaired
- Removed the full stops from the 'paint' section near the beginning, as they are unnecessary.
- Updated script to collate same type items together, greatly shortening the report. No more 'Shield Booster' being repeated a dozen times!
- Fixed broken weapon check. 'module.localizedname' was invalid, so this didn't work.
-
Updated to check item/module health and only report if it is less than 100. This should stop it reporting all items/modules, when only a few were damaged.
Removed, as this does not work. Modules are usually back to 100 health from the repair, before this event triggers.
Additionally, I found that module health isn't always recorded when damage is taken.
- Added 'hull' to the repaired systems section.
- Removed the ship name from the repaired systems section, and added it to the report at the end. This shortens the code and makes the report a little shorter when there are multiple 'repaired systems'.
Surface signals detected
- Added a check for the last log off time, to skip speech if it's less than 10 minutes. See 'Music' above.
- Updated script to only say 'surface signals' at the end, removing all the repeats.
Swapout check
- Updated the module price check to be similar to the default. Fixes rare error when the price is set as 'void'.
System Exploration Report
- Updated the IF check that sets 'scannedBodies' to use 'max()' so the higher of 'prescannedBodies' or 'totalBodies' will be used. This is more efficient.
- Updated IF check for the 'physical characteristics' section. This should now report if you've visited 5 or fewer times, or if your last visit was more than 10 hours ago. This stops frequent repeating when doing short runs between the same systems.
- Updated check for the initial speech when listing the bodies in a system, so that it says "This system" when there are bodies to map.
- Added an override variable for the 'Bodies to map' function call, so that will always give a full detailed report.
- Added a fallback section to the 'remaining bodies to scan' section, for the rare occasions where this value could be zero or less than zero due to reportSystem having incomplete data.
System state report
- Added a second full stop in the conflicts section. I found faction names that end in an abreviation (like Inc.) would not consider the single full stop as an end of sentence pause. Adding a second one fixes this.
Time Remaining
- Updated script to use an array and List(). This improves the output and fixes a rare problem that didn't use 'and' before the last element.
- Update initial IF check to make sure 't_remaining' actually exists.
- Added initialising all the timer variables to 0, so they will not be 'void' when checking them (I know, noob mistake!).
- Updated the seconds section to add 'just over' at the start of the time report, instead of speaking the seconds in certain situations. This makes it sound better for longer timers.
Touchdown
- Added section to warn of high/low surface temperatures if playing in Odyssey, for on-foot activities. Set the desired temperature scale in Preferences at the top. (Temperature limits
may need tweaking)
Undocked
- Added an additional check for missions to the route recalc check. On rare occasions this was activating when it should not.
