is this everywhere in the body scanned script the spelling of "terrraformable" ?

in body report it was already this : {if reportbody.terraformstate = "Terraformable":
terraformable
|elif reportbody.terraformstate = "Terraformed":
terraformed
}
I change the script in body scanned likr this : {_ Note three rs in terrraformable is a typo in information from Elite }
{if event.terraformstate = "Terraformable":
terraformable
|elif event.terraformstate = "Terraformed":
terraformed
}

And it is functional. I try the script in game.
I have version 2.3.0-b8

Can someone help me with EDDI and VA? I have commands running in VA for music to play when triggered by me entering supercruise and docking etc. I wish for a few tracks to play on a random playlist that I set for each system allegiance I.E Empire, federation etc. Does anyone know the syntax to get this working properly so it loops the playlist

Thanks

Hi RaulDuke,

First you should set a variable with Setstate in EDDI for the term what you would like to use, like system.allegiance (for example 'eddi_context_allegiance', or whatever you want (or maybe it is already set in the default EDDI script)). Make different directories with your specific songs for the different conditions, then go to VA, and start an IF condition like this:

Begin text compare: [EDDI state eddi_context_allegiance] Equals 'imperial'
play random sound from directory...
End condition and exit when condition is met

Begin text compare: [EDDI state eddi_context_allegiance] Equals 'federal'
play random sound from directory...
End condition and exit when condition is met

...and so on.

if you want to hear more songs following each other, then just add more times (as many times as you want) the 'play random music...' command, and don't forget to check the wait until sound completes..." box when choosing the library. You can then stop playing this dedicated set of songs when for example the Jumping or Docked event is triggered with the 'Kill command'

I hope you can work based on these, if not, PM me, maybe I can help.

Best regards!

Awesome cheers. I will play around with that and let you know how I get on

If I am using both EDDI and EDMC, should I configure my API key for EDSM in both of them or just one of them?

EDSM is smart enough to de-duplicate in such situations, but I would probably turn off the submitter in EDDI to save CPU cycles and bandwidth.

Here's an oddity I've noticed.
(Apologies if it's already been covered, this is a huge thread!)

I'm using EDDI 2.3.0-b8 with VoiceAttack
I've imported your sample VA profile into my own.

When using the VA plugin, the Ship Name doesn't update correctly in when changing it in livery.
When I change to a new name, it seems the EDDI Ship Ident triggers, and the name never gets updated. (It actually speaks the Ident of the ship instead of the name)

I have to close VoiceAttack, and open EDDI standalone, re-change the ship name. Then the ship name is updated within EDDI correctly and I can close-out, reload VA, and everything works.

Hello Commanders,
I´ve noticed a strange behaviour with the "INT-System outposts" variable via VA. It should give only the amount of all "Orbital Outposts" of a System. But here in my case it always gives me the amount of "Orbital AND planetary Outposts" together. The Counterpart variable "INT-System planetary outposts" works as expexted. Is someone else observed this behavior ? I use EDDI 2.3.0-b8 with Voice Attack

I would say this is working as intended as planetary outposts are still outposts and "INT-System outposts" means all the outposts in the system. If you wanted to find the number of orbital outposts, if there is no variable for that, simply subtract "INT-System planetary outposts" from "Int-System outposts". The difference will be the number of orbital outposts.

Pepcore · Jun 13, 2017

Hi KellyR
Well, the Description on GitHub says - {INT-System outposts} - the total number of orbital outposts in the system.
Thats why I thought the variable only gives out the ORBITAL Outposts. But anyway, your Hint to simply substract the planetarys from the variable works like a charm.
Thanks for your suggestion! I definitley owe you a beer.

With ship swapping being borked at the moment, is there a surefire way that will force EDDI to pick up the new ship? It seems that even when I delete the shipmonitor.json file, EDDI still is borked for a random amount of time.

VerticalBlank · Jun 18, 2017

Idea: constant repetition of the system name gets very tiresome, so in the "Body scanned" and "Body report" speeches, substitute "Body" for the system name prefix of the body name.

I've cloned the "EDDI" personality as "Succint EDDI" but I'm not sure how best to do the string substitution.

Antrys · Jun 20, 2017

Is it possible for us to edit the "Humanize" routine?
There is one phrase option used for estimation: "of up to" that drives me nuts. "This system has of up to 2000 humans" Maybe that's a UK saying, but here in the US that's really, really weird sounding.
I would love to change it to "Almost."

It would of course need to forego the substitution when there is no suffix.

Is there any plans to update inara.cz automatically

probably when the INARA API has been built it will connect up, I know I've been waiting for it too

Hi spezialists for VA and EDDI !

First, sorry for my bad English , but I hope you understand me. I like EDDI and VA very much but since yesterday I have a big problem.
Ok, here the facts. Yesterday I updated VA to version 1.6.5. I have started VA as a normal user. I got an ERROR. I started VA as an admin user and all is OK !
I have installed ED as an normal user an it works with VA with admin rights very good. I copied the profiles in the admin-path. EDDI is installed as an plug-in in VA an now EDDI don't find
the path to the normal user (is normal bacause VA run as admin). How can I solve the problem ?
System Win 10 64 bit
ED - installed as normal user (netlog and journal in the user path)
VA - installed as normal user but start with admin rights
EDDI - installed as plug-in from VA (path for the json-files in the admin path)

Thx for your help, nepomuk

nepomuk said:
Sorry guys, I have to ask again, how do you start VA and EDDI ?

1. VA with EDDI as plug-in in normal user mode ?
2. VA with admin rights and EDDI as a plug-in ?
3. VA with admin rigths and EDDI stand alone in normal user mode ?

If I start VA with admin rigths (it is recommended) an EDDI stand alone, both apps work for themselves but not together.
Events from EDDI are not recognized by VA and vice versa. Please, I need help.

Thx nepomuk

Hello Brigetiol1,

Thank you for your answer. Yes 1st version works, but not 100%. Sometimes a keystroke is not recognized immediately.
Therefore, it is also recommended to start VA with admin rights. Look here http://voiceattack.com/smf/index.php?topic=654.msg3249#msg3249
I have already described my problem on the developer homepage. Look here https://github.com/cmdrmcdonald/EliteDangerousDataProvider/issues/226
So far no answer from the developer. User Darkcyde13 has already tried to help me. If the PC is only used with admin rights, there are no problems.
However, e.g. two users and an admin, there are problems. ED uses the user paths and VA + EDDI with admin rights use the admin paths.

And yes, we are neighbors [big grin] ... distant neighbors. I'm from Germany. I believe my username "nepomuk" has brought you into these thoughts.
I've been using the name for a very long time. The name has nothing to do with the city for me.

Thx, have a nice Weekend, nepomuk

p.s. sorry for my bad english

If someone has a similar problem, here is perhaps the solution http://www.robotronic.de/runasroben.html

Is there anything new going on today?

I was playing last night and no issues, but today I am being told "EDDI Status: Companion app not operational"

Kitsuniro Kuzuko · Jun 24, 2017

I noticed a minor change in EDDI's behavior overnight. It's nothing important, but I'm just curious: Up until now EDDI has greeted me with "Welcome back, Commander." every time I log in... But this morning it started greeting me with "Welcome back, M'lord."

I'm not complaining one bit; as an Imperial player it's rather immersive. But I am curious: is it referenceing my Imperial Rank (Baron) when it does this, and does it do something similar for Fed-Rank? And how can you tell it which to pull from if so?

VerticalBlank · Jun 24, 2017

By default it uses whichever of your ranks is appropriate to the superpower controlling the system you are in. You can change this if you want by editing the personality script, but I don't know very much about that.
