1) A limitation to VA, it can only hit keyboard key combos, it cannot press the joystick buttons. However, you can double bind keys, so if you are using a controller or HOTAS, you can also set a keyboard key (for example by jettison all key combo is Left Ctrl + Right Alt + Home so it is very difficult to press by my self, but VA can when you ask for the command.
Editing the file in the game, and either restarting VA for it to read your keybinds, or to use the command "reset keybinds" will have the plugin recheck your keybinds and set them.
2) since it is a steam install, I do not have it that way to test, but I will ask others that have it though steam and see if they are getting this issue too, and if they have a fix
I would suggest to check the "Bind Keys;Reset Key Binds" command. As you have your install of VA on D: it might be that bindED is looking for the binds file on D: instead of C: for whatever reason.
Look for the command that is not disabled (if there are disabled ones) and open it.
Place this here into Plugin Context and check if it resolved the problem : "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings\Custom.3.0.binds" (whithout the " " )
Ok. Partially solved. I had to reinstall ED on my new machine, but I never backed up my old custom binds file, so it didnt' create one until I went in and tried to edit the bindings. Now I just need to figure out how to get MALIC's bindings file. or I guess create one with all the correct triggers.
So If there is a shortcut to get my bindings file to mirror what is setup in MALIC's VA setup that would be a big help.
I tend to stream starting around noon UTC at https://www.twitch.tv/malic_vr If there are any questions about this Voice Attack profile, feel free to come in and ask questions.
I will be using this thread and editing this first post as I update the profile and make new features public.
Features:
Current Features:
New in Version 5
New audio response modes for location and target commands. You can use the commands "Vocal mode on" or Vocal mode off". This setting will save between VA instances.
Saving EDDI vocal status between VA instances. If you want EDDI to be chatty use the command "EDDI vocal mode on" or if you dont, "EDDI vocal mode off"
Consolidation of several commands, reduced 6 nav filter commands to a single commands for example, the commands work the same as before.
Experiential "Engage" command. Uses EDDI to see if the user has hardpoints/cargoscoop/landing gear out, and if so, will retract and engage your FSD automatically.
Experimental - there is a series of commands that allow you to make a single button do up to three functions depending on how you press it. You can tap, it, double tap, or press and hold to have it do different functions.
Currently there is no way to completely automate this, so if you are interested in this, instructions are below, but be aware this is not a full supported feature
The command below is how the single-key-that-does-three-things works, and once you set it up works well, but is not for the faint of heart.
Below is the code itself, and it does not watch key presses, or do anything, the one after it is my working example for my controls that I use for my single button that one press toggles lights, and press and hold toggles night vision
So for my joystick, I would bind the detection key into the command like so:
I then need to edit the two highlighted commands to watch for Joystick 2.
Lastly once you get the above lines edited to detect the button, the below lines you want to have it press the keys that you want, for each behavior.
New in Version 4
Location command will download the most up-to-date CSV file of all known locations in game* and will reset itself so that command does not need to ever** be updated
* Known locations are only as good as my spreadsheet documentation, if you know of one that is not in the list, please join the Pareco SCIEnCE Institute Discord and post in the #spreadsheet-feedback room
** The command my be updated for new functions in the future
bindED integration - You tell it where you binds files are located and it will scan and update the entire profile to match your keybinds. - Note you have to have a key bound to use this, it will not work if blank.
Dictation - Talk to the computer and it will record and then paste what you say, useful for communicating in the chat window
w.
Quick navigation filters - Can quickly filter to look for stations, settlements, signal sources, or to filter out asteroids from the local navigation map.
Quick docking select
Two stage emergency cargo release - Require two commands in a row to emergency eject cargo.
Fighter commands
Elite Links - Commands that open up highly used links. Coriolis, EDDB, EDSM, Forum, etc...
Quick chat replies - Quick responses made for chat window where dictation would not work.
My pad number commands for large stations is included - more info can be found at https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...us-Coriolis-Pad-Location-Voice-Attack-Profile VR Galaxy Map navigation tool
Distance to commands
Streamline of code to find bind files for EDBinds plugin. User should not have to manually enter in location to where bind files are stored.
If anyone has questions about use, please check in the spoiler tags below and then ask if I did not go into enough detail. I will try to put together some videos showing specific features if they are not understood clear enough.
New in Version 3
My pad number commands have been edited from 4 separate commands in to a single command previous version must be deleted
"startup" command has been updated, please make sure to use this newest one and to follow the setup instructions below to make sure it runs when the profile starts
There have been several code changes to reduce total commands because the navigation command is so large. The pad number, fighter orders, engine/weapon color, high res/ normal screenshot have all been updated from multiple commands in to single commands
note these all below this line require EDDI to be installed to be able to know your current location
Change of "target" commands to a spreadsheet based system. The profile checks online at start up and downloads the newest version. You can also run the command "download navigation data" to do it manually.
"Target" - types system name into text field
"How far am I from; How far to; Distance to ; Measure to" - give straight line distance between your present location and target
"nearest colonia station" - finds closet of the Colonia "truck stops" to your present location. You can also use the command "target colonia route station 1-9" in a text field to paste the system names.
Profile has a single edited EDDI command "((EDDI jumped))" that must be updated from the .vap so it can do a system name check after the jumping event. If there is a point of interest in system, you will hear a chirp sound 10 seconds after leaving hyperspace. The following commands only work in system if there is anything.
"What is in system" - vocalizes all point of interests in the system. This also puts that information in to the windows clipboard. You can paste this info anywhere on the computer, or even in to Elites local chat so you can use it as an in game clipboard to see locations and coordinates for planet based POI's
"Location of" - Can be used to paste information of specific POI when a system has more then one, an example of this would be the Barnacle forests 4 and 5. They are both in the same system.
"find <state>" commands are in a testing phase, for example you can use the command "find war" and it will open the EDSM website with your current system already filled out, and war state selected to show closest locations with that state. this may break as EDSM changes their website formats
