Download the latest version, it simply installs over the old one, and keeps your settings o7

Small issue: EDDI Said THORIUM when I bought GALLIUM

I just tried this and it said gallium correctly. Where did you buy it?

EDDI is Taking ~20 seconds before making any type of announcement. TCE, EDDiscovery and EDMC I turned off just in case there was some kind of read lock going on, but the delay in responses is the same. Doesn't matter if it's stand alone app or via VA. Latest Beta Installed: v1.5.12.32.

My system is quite powerful: i5 6600k at 4.5 GHz with a 1080 and 16 GB ram and SSD drives.

This has been happening since I started using version 2, but as no one else has reported it I thought I'd got something wrong at my end, but after trying turning other stuff off I've failed to identify what the problem is.

Is it just me experiencing this issue? Any suggestions on how to resolve it?

I can't remember, but it's happened twice at two different stations. I'll make a note next time.

 

[jgm]

Just a side note, on V 2.07 the response seems "Slower" example jump to another system, Telemetry obtained
seems to take longer to come up, in fact I have sometimes arrived first !

With system jumps EDDI has to wait for a particular notification to find out the destination. What often happens at the weekend is that the FD servers slow down so we only receive this event just before you exit supercruise, which means by the time EDDI starts talking the jump is complete. It's annoying, but at the moment there's no way around it.

When launching you can have Limpet check.
How about Srv, Heat sink ammo and fighter check ? (Pretty please)
-

That information isn't available to EDDI so I'm afraid it can't remind you.

I have some delays, since putting the latest version on....
..
Oh and do you have a donate link this is pretty darn good, would like to support continued development #
Even if its just a couple of quid ... o7

 

[jgm]

It isn't in 2.0.7

Yeah I forgot to include the updated profile in the distribution. It'll be there for 2.0.8, or if you can't wait you can make your own command that calls the EDDI plugin with the context of 'configuration'.

 

[jgm]

Fantastic Tool this! many thanks for all your effort!

I only wish i could spend the time learning how to make the most of it

Is there an easy way it can tell you whether the system has already been discovered or not when you jump in?

Regards

Unfortunately not, that information isn't available to us.

If you have carried out significant customisation of the speech when events occur then I suggest you do the following:

• Remove the ((EDDI startup)) command from your VoiceAttack profile - this will stop the EDDI 1.x scripts from running automatically
• Remove your c:\program files (x86)\voiceattack\apps\eddi directory
• Download and install EDDI 2
• Start up VoiceAttack (note that you'll need a beta version of VoiceAttack for the new plugin structure - at least 1.5.12.22)
• Import the 'EDDI.vap' profile. Take a look at the commands that are being imported and ensure that you haven't customised anything that is going to be overwritten

At this point you will need to move all of your custom scripts from their current location to EDDI's new speech responder. To do this:

• Shut down VoiceAttack
• Start up the EDDI UI
• Go to the 'speech responder' tab
• Hit the 'Copy personality' button at the bottom of the tab
• Give the personality a new name
• For each script hit 'edit' and change it as you see fit, using the VoiceAttack script as your reference

When you are done you can shut down the EDDI UI and start up VoiceAttack, and it should respond with your edited scripts.

With the new script format it should be a lot quicker to edit than was the case with VoiceAttack. That said, if you have a lot of work already in VoiceAttack or you just want to keep your scripts in VoiceAttack then take a look at the last video in the original post on this thread: it shows you how you can trigger VoiceAttack commands from EDDI events. In your case you could simply rename your VoiceAttack commands to the name of the events that you want them to be triggered by. For example, if you had customised the 'Event handler on change of system' script then you could just rename this to '((EDDI jumping))' and it should run whenever you change system.

I recommend that you have a look at the information in the EDDI UI under the 'VoiceAttack responder' tab, as it explains a bit more about the integration and gives you links to the full documentation for EDDI and VoiceAttack.

Thanks, that worked nicely.

Can it do custom response to a key press ?

VoiceAttack can, but EDDI can't.

For those of you experiencing issues with EDDI starting up: I've found an odd issue in the companion API where it returns "Profile unavailable" as opposed to the usual JSON. It appears that the only way to fix this at the moment is to log back in to the companion API, which appears to kick the system.

To do this shut down EDDI and remove the %APPDATA%\EDDI\credentials.json file then restart EDDI and log in through the 'companion app' tab. It should then start behaving again.

EDDI 2.0.8 will attempt to do this automatically.

This did the trick for me. Thx man! EDDI and me are happy again =). *cuddling EDDI*

Hey I love this app and it worked fine for me untill I decided, that I'd like to try some other voices apart from Anna. However, after I installed new ones suddenly EDDI stopped working and I do not get any voice outputs anymore. I tried reinstalling and cleaning the appdata folder but no success. Everywhere else i can use the new voices. If it helps, I'm running win7 64b. Hope someone might be able to help^^

After trying it again I also realised, that trying to use the voice test results in a 100% CPU usage by EDDI...

I am using latest EDDI and Latest beta VA with Oculus rift.
Have discovered that the net log file is no longer in default location or that advised by frontier forums. Hence no jump info.

Correct location of netlog file for Oculus rift users with default setup is:
C:\program files\oculus\software\software\frontier-developments-plc-elite-dangerous\products\elite-dangerous-64\logs

All jump information viits ran etc will be announced, only applies to Oculus rift users.

Thanks Excalibar!! This was driving me nuts!

Hey JGM, I keep getting an error when I jump "There is a problem with the script. An exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." Not sure what that means, I've tried uninstalling and re-installing everything.

Where is this error showing up, is it in the EDDI log or in VoiceAttack? Please could you send me your %APDPATA%\EDDI\eddi.log for me to take a look at? Thanks.

Resolved

This was not an issue in 1.4, but now ship name variables under the Shipyard tab are simply not getting saved and/or not used with EDDI+VA. I'm using Oculus Rift.

For example, instead of my chosen ship name I'm just hearing the generic "Your Anaconda" did this or that.

Does anyone else have a similar issue? Using the latest Beta of VA.

So I think I figured out why this is occurring with the 2.0.7 VA version. Basically, when you update the release you've got to go into Explorer and turn on "Run in Administrator mode" under Properties and relaunch EDDI.exe. Then the ship names can be entered and will "stick" as before.

I didn't remember having to do this in 1.4 but maybe it was the same I just don't remember.

So, if you have this issue, all you need to do is launch the program as Administrator.

Interesting.
.
2.0.7. seems to work just fine however the EDDB website is not updating within a few seconds of landing at the station anymore. In fact, I don't see it updating based on my data at all. Are the updates batched once a day, once an hour, etc? I've not messed with any of the settings in 2.0.7. besides the credentials.json file removal that was required to get it to work. EDDN responder is still enabled within the App.
.
Addition: Is there a way to force the push of information with a script command?
