Hmm, late to the party. Oh well! :)

Yes, my 'Material Collected' and 'Material Discovered' event scripts do read out what has been collected, and this does include wake scan data when it's obtained. If I understand sutex correctly, when one of these data scans is collected, then the speech describing what has been collected is preventing him from using the VA command 'TARGET' to switch to the next wake to be scanned. As mentioned above, I would have thought that allowing VA to execute other commands while the ((EDDI material collected)) was running would have fixed the problem. Certainly this is not an EDDI issue, but a VA one, as EDDI would just queue up any speech output and carry on executing other events as normal.

sutex, can you post your 'TARGET' VA command for us to look at? Also, your ((EDDI material collected)) may be useful too.

I'm not seeing anything here that can prevent a new task from executing. Is it possible that the voice output is mixing with your microphone input such that VoiceAttack can't recognize what is being said while EDDI is still speaking? Do you use a gaming headset that isolates what you hear from what you say?

Nah , my setup is fine .. been the same for years now ,all other commands work without issue or conflict,

BUT ! will try lowering Output voices see if that makes any difference, as you may be right , in that EDDI is still speaking when I trying to issue commands , WHY this would only be happening on this command is in the 'who knows basket'

Have you tried disabling HCS's MaterialsCollected command ?

MaterialCollected: { "Category":"s%Category", "Name":"s%Name", "Count":"i%Count", "exec_vaCommand":"MaterialCollected" } where's VA "exec_vaCommand":"MaterialCollected

or Just // it out at the beginning of the line ?

I meant deleting or renaming the VA-command MaterialCollected made by HCS

I've been subscribed to this thread and have had "install EDDI" on my todo list for a long long time (correct me if I'm wrong but isn't EDDI the premier app for utilising the official Frontier API?).

One of the main things that's stopped me (aside from the thought of sacrificing a few precious minutes of game time to do it) is that I keep reading comments in here about it not working, or causing problems or conflicting with VoiceAttack, etc.

Could someone set me straight on this and give me a quick recap of the state of EDDI, it's current level of support and stability and whether or not it is in fact the premier Frontier ED API application.

use it, it works, depending on your needs. if you don't need tts for "immersion" or extended voiceattack features, stick with edmc.

yea, because the last github update was 29 days ago.

I don't use Voice attack, I do use constantly, EDDI. Features are being added around every 4 months, it's very stable, and I love the feedback it gives. Throw in customisation of the voice scripts
and it's great (Shields down for me = Better run commander ! )
Would like to hear it tell me if volcanism on a planet is Major or Minor, but not had feedback on that request recently. o7

--Edit---

Been abandoned? Didn't know that ! :-(

Alec, Eddi is excellent and extremely worth having. It does have it's foybles as does the HCS plugin but you'll wonder how you lived without it once you have it. Most of the issues you refer to are user scripting problems whilst people learn how to customise it. You don't need to customise it but it's quite rewarding to have a go :)

PSA to EDDI folks... EDDN migrated today to a new server.

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/361819-EDDN-Elite-Dangerous-Data-Network

Short version is that all apps communicating to the old server are now officially 'broken' with respect to EDDN.


This unfortunately includes EDDI. It's my expectation that unless jgm returns (ever so briefly) to patch this, EDDN functionality will be 'broken' in EDDI for the foreseeable future.

Temporary fix would be to 'turn off' the EDDN plugin in EDDI and use EDMC in its place.

I think this migration was already implemented in EDDI 2.3.0 (look here https://github.com/cmdrmcdonald/Eli...mmit/f29bd46cfccb801593fe407c367079c82b697b96 and search for EDDN)
Looking at the EDDN status page (https://eddn.edcd.io/) is still receiving info from EDDI

Looks like you're right.

"Migrate to new EDDN endpoint" is a bit cryptic, but would explain why EDDN is still getting EDDI hits when AnthorNet said, "Software that does not contain these changes will cease to be able to send to EDDN on or shortly after August 9th." back on July 3rd.

Carry On!

Has anyone heard jgm say he's has quit ? ... and if so what are his reason for walking away from Elite Dangerous and / or EDDI ?

Was it Frontier management, which forced Dev's to call for a Third Party Strike ?

If so, then my faith in ED API ever been able to be maintained by any Third party APP DEV, working for FREE ! is not looking good either.

For Frontier will continue to change the API at the drop of a hat, leaving Dev's who are not getting paid, making these THIRD PARTY APPS for Elite Dangerous, constantly frustrated as they keep loosing previous work by API changes.
