Release EDDI - Windows app for immersion and more

Are there any plans to implement additional information available in the player journal in the future? Such as escapeinterdiction, fuelscoop, etc. or additional parameters for existing events such as FuelUsed BoostUsed or FuelLevel (for FSDJump) etc.?

It would be nice to have a VA variable for FuelLevel available so you could script a reminder to scoop or dock for refuel at 50% or whatever. Especially now that ED lets me plot a course of ONLY non-sequence stars...
 
I was using the old version of EDDI in Voice attack and just upgraded to 2.0.4. NICE. Time to uninstall about a half dozen other utilities. Awesome job
 
.........

I'm presently working on a profile script that error checks whether the ship has an installed fighter or SRV hangar before issuing a launch or deploy command. Another commander is working on a his profile which will warn if he's wanted in the system he just entered. Seriously. the options and flexibility is now mind-bending.

I hope that clears up what EDDI does vs your typical Voice Attack profile.

Now this warning if you have entered a system your wanted in I'm interested in, I did have the idea the other day but have no idea how to get EDDI 2 to react on it.
 
Absolutely. Just copy the personality and change whatever you want.

I was just reading through the eddi.json and so...

"Exploration promotion": {
"enabled": true,
"priority": 3,
"responder": true,
"script": "You have been recognised for your exploration skills, {F("Honorific")}.",

Will have the speech responder say "You have been recognised for your exploration skills, Pathfinder" for example.

and ones like...

"Screenshot": {
"enabled": true,
"priority": 3,
"responder": true,
"script": null,

Where "script" is set to null will not say anything at all? If so, then I assume, I can replace null with my own verbiage and variables, and the speech responder will reply to the event? Expanding on that, then I can replace scripts with null to prevent the speech responder from, well, saying anything?

When I say "change the personality" you can do this in EDDI's UI. There's a 'copy personality' button on the Speech responder tab. You can disable individual scripts with the checkbox next to the script's name, and edit the scripts as required. Editing the JSON file directly will most likely lead to errors that could be very hard to track down.

Honorific() is a function that works out what to call you based on the allegiance of the local system and your relevant superpower rating, for example if you're King and in Empire space it will call you "your highness".
 
Best guess is that you have installed 32-bit voices. They show up in the TTS list but aren't actually available when it comes to speaking through the Windows TTS synthesiser. Which voices in particular are they?


CA-Heather,GB-Hazel & US-ZiraPro. They worked fine before in the TTS configuration window, but now (probably after a reboot) they stopped working. Do you have any idea where can I find additional TTS voices for Windows 7 64-bit? Google provides all sorts of fishy workarounds, most of them are at least 3-4 years old.

Gotcha...so I was really looking at doing things the hard way :) Still quite interesting looking through and trying to figure out how things are working.

Another question...the warning not to have Voice Attack running at the same time as the EDDI program...is the new front end for EDDI the equivalent of the old EDDI configuration utility? So in order for the EDDI responders to be running, does that front end need to be open? And how does that play into Voice Attack? Obviously, the EDDI VA profile can be loaded with VA, but how does that work with the EDDI responders? Especially the speech one?

I am hoping that these questions, and your answers will be helpful to others reading this thread, and not just for my benefit, otherwise I will feel like quite the annoyance :)

This page right here is what I did when I was using Windows 7 64 bit...worked a treat.

I've followed the installation instructions exactly from a fresh install no matter what I do I can't get VoiceAttack to load the EDDI plugin? I installed EDDI into the VoiceAttack/Apps folder and enabled plugins, when I start VA it says plugins enabled but doesn't load EDDI? Here's an image of the /Apps/EDDI folder http://imgur.com/a/4CqnT

EDIT: Nevermind... fixed it. I had the wrong version of Voice Attack.

EDIT: Turns out, TTS was not working correctly in windows...nothing to do with EDDI. I resolved the issue resolved by changing my Windows Audio from 7.1 back to stereo.

So I can only use EDDI voice when Audio is set to Stereo? Please tell me this isn't the case, otherwise this is a major turn off...

Thanks a lot! That's exactly what I did up to the spet where you need to copy the Lex from the default voice (Anna) to the new ones, but I think I'm doing it wrong since I'm still getting the "this voice cannot be played" message when trying to play it from the TTS config screen. I created a "Lex" key folder under the new voices, and manually creating strings with values I copied from Anna's Lex folder. Is that how you're supposed to do it or is it completely stupid and I just ruined my computer?

again, thanks!
 
No, not saying that at all!

It is my own hardware configuration causing the issue. TTS was not working at all, not just in EDDI.

I am having the same problem - EDDI voice seems to work only when the sound is set to Stereo.

Additionally, when I launch Voice Attack I don't get the plugin saying that EDDI has been initialised. And yes, I followed all the troubleshooting instructions.

Are you using Windows 10 64 bit? Does your TTS work in the windows TTS control panel? Mine appeared to be working there, just no actual sound output.

Additionally, I am running Windows 10 64 bit on an MSI Krait Gaming Z170 motherboard.

Please could both of you post screenshots of your VoiceAttack main screen after startup, and your VoiceAttack options screen? Thanks.
