Galaxy map routing too slow? Elite Copilot has quick routing and voice navigation!

Just installed 0.29c and NEARLY DIED as a result. I have not used previous versions so I don't know if this is a new issue.

It calculates a route, but during a jump at the point when it says "xxx light years until destination.." Elite loses focus and I briefly get a black screen before it comes back, but now the mouse cursor appears in the middle of the screen and I cannot use the keyboard until I click. When I click, the screen again loses focus for a second. When it comes back I am too close to the star and have emergency stopped! On top of this I don't hear the announcement as to what the next system is.

How can I fix this?

Edit:

Tried 0.29b and this works better - but still it only tells me the current system and distance left. It does not tell me what system to go to next.

I'm getting this too...

I overlooked that previous comment of yours - that's an odd one! No clue where it might come from at all! I wouldn't even know where to start looking for what could be causing that, to be honest :(..

As per your 2) from the original post, can you elaborate? I'm not sure if I understand.

1) is this quote issue only for me or can you replicate it on your end too? Testing is easy: make sure copilot is running and then type a ' or '' anywhere you want.
2) from what I understand, you are using EDSC's database right? EDSC uses a Confidence Rating (CR) where systems only show up after 5 people have confirmed them. This is great for busy systems but often I'd rather use the CR=1 (only 1 person entered the system) data. Is there a way for you to enable that CR=1 data for us?
3) while the automatic copy to clipboard would be an amazing feature, I do have the same issue as the people above where you seem to pull focus away from the ed screen effecting a loss of control in game

It might be a noob question - but i don't have the F20-F22 keys on my G15 Keyboard. I wanted to set a G-Key for those shortcuts... but i don't know how to add F20 to it. So i tried to change the copilot .ini to something like Shift-F10.. but guess what? i failed again, how you add keys like Shift-F10 into the .ini file?

And me, head on into a start yesterday! Had my Throttle pulled back as soon as I entered the jump, however I lost focus the moment I came out of the jump

I've just added.
Code: 
[COLOR=#AFEEEE][FONT=courier new][I]CopyJumpToClipboard=False[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]
to the ini. file

i installed this tool, the boxes (that are supposed to show the various buttons) are blank, so hard to know what to press, and also when plotting a route, the route seems much longer when compared to the galaxy map route.
I assume something is wrong somewhere, but not sure how to get it installed and working correctly.

Cheers, I'll give that a go...

Dear OP,

I wish to report a bug :D

If I jump to a system not on the planned route list, it tells me "not in a waypoint system, rerouting" then "route found... next jump:" ... and then silence. It doesn't vocally tell me which one to jump to. I had to manually ALT-TAB back to the progrtam to see the list, and then click SET ROUTE button again for it to announce the next system to jump to.

For your info and action...

I also have the problem of the program not telling me what the next jump is....
about 1 out of every 10 jumps it will tell what to jump to next.. mainly just silence.

What shortcuts are you talking about??
F20-F22 do something?

This seemed to work, however I am now getting the problem where Elite co-pilot announces the arrival of the target jump but then doesn't mention the next step, so I have to alt-tab out or take a note of the jumps...

For those wondering about F20, here is the secret. You have 12 function keys right? So for the keys above 12 just do this - subtract 12 from the function number and use <shift>- that key. For example, let's say you are instructed to use F21, then subtract 12 frrom 21 = 9 and use <shift>-F9.

And for those who say - What shortcuts are you talking about?? You gotta learn to read the documentation, man! Look in the file HOW-TO-USE.txt which comes in the zip file.

As for the routing, it is too unreliable for me. Even though I love all the nice little features around the concept of a co-pilot and what it can do for you, without a perfected routing system it is all just smoke and no fire, bark and no bite, and so on - it is the actual routing itself which is the important part - all the rest is just nice-to-have window dressing really.

Thanks for all the praise, guys! I'm currently working on having the app keep a log of all your visited systems which is already half-way in the app, it just has no interface yet. If you you're super happy with it, feel free to click on the smiley button in the app ;).

(I just put a beta of that log functionality in the dropbox folder)

How about an ability to add user typed notes about a system

Yes, this is a known problem - I'm not using A* and am aware that it's not optimal. When I started making E.C., I wasn't even thinking of publishing it and went for a quick win that worked well enough, since I couldn't find a plug-n-play A* implementation in python. I think my current constraint is that no step may lead AWAY from the destination, which is probably why my algorithm won't find anything in your case. I wonder if loosening that restriction might actually fix this without breaking anything - if I have a little extra time I shall try that!
Click to expand...

I might be able to write you an A* implementation in python to drop in, or I can send you the one I just wrote in javascript if you want to try porting it yourself.

I had an idea to make the search account for fuel use and time spent refueling mid-route, so I built that into my A* cost function, and so far I'm able to get better (more fuel efficient, very rarely also shorter) routes than what I see from any of the online route planners I've tried.

Let me know if you're interested. I haven't decided yet if I want to put my version up online, since it relies on the 6mb systems.json resource that I'd rather not host if I can avoid it. ;)

I just sent you a PM..
Having a issue...


In case someone wants to know...

I started it up, in admin mode, and it started.....
I realized I hadn't set my system's default voice, so I closed the program and changed default..
I have not been able to get the program to run again...
(note, I tried also changing the speech.ini ID to 4 (because it would be the 5th down the list))

I tried deleting the folder and starting a new one one, I tried resetting my PC... Nothing...
I click on the program and it ignores me...

I assume it saved a setting in the systems someplace with a incorrect path and now it is failing to find that path I can't set....

Note: I will try changing the default back to Anna but leave speech.ini changes)

Note2: Setting sound in system to Anna no effect... changing ID back to 0 got the system to start... So......

Help? I don't WANNA use Anna....
