Hi, I promised that I would write a guide to demonstrate how to get voice attack to set course for you.
However my computer was destroyed by a bad windows update and I had to reinstall everything again.
So here it is, if a bit late.
What I want to do.
tell voice attack "Set course for Sol", "Set course for Lugh" etc.
I'm presuming that you are at least using voice attack for basic commands.
At the begining I will explain everything. at the end it is abbreviated.
ie. Click Pause, Change the time to 000.170s and click ok becomes Pause 0.17s
Step 1. Creating the open map macro
- click edit profile in voice attack
- create a new command
- change the name of the command to ((map step 1))
- uncheck "When I say" (so the command is disabled)
- Click "Key Press" and press your map key (mine is set to / )
- Click Ok
- Click Pause
- you need a 3 second pause for the map to open, so enter 003.00 and click ok
- Alt tab to the game and press the map key that you entered.
- Comback to voice attack and press "Mouse"
- click "Set Position"
- Alt tab to the game and hover the mouse over "Navigation" tab.
- Press ALT+F3 to save the mouse location
- Back to voice attack, you should see the mouse co-ords set. Click Ok, and Ok.
- add a pause for 0.17 seconds
- add Mouse -> "Click Left Button" -> Ok (hint: Half way down the mouse dialog)
- pause 0.17s
- Mouse -> Set Position
- in game, click the Navigation name box and press Alt F3 , return to Voice attack and ok, ok
- pause 0.17s
- Mouse -> Click Left Button
Step 2. Create the close map macro
- create a new command called ((map step 2)) the same way as before
- in game type SOL in the navigation search box
- go back to voice attack
- Key Press RETURN
- Pause 1.5s (allow the map to scroll)
- Add Mouse - (set position to the center of the navigation route icon)
- pause 0.17s
- Add Mouse -> Left Click -> Ok
- Pause 0.17s
- Key press (Map Key)
- close the macro
Step 3. Adding a destination setting course for sol
- Create a new command called "Set Course For Sol" (leave this one active)
- Click OTHER
- in the top combo box select "Execute another command"
- select ((map step 1)) and Ok
- Now we type out the system name using a pause between presses
- Key Press -> S
- Pause 0.17
- Key Press -> O
- Pause 0.17
- Key Press -> L
- Pause 0.17
- Other Command -> ((Map Step 2)) ok and done.
Step 4. Trying it out and Debugging the bad placement of windows and pauses
- Go back to elite and close the map
- Say to voice attack "Set course for Sol" and watch closely for what is wrong
- The S isn't being recognised so edit ((map step 1))
- Add a pause to the end of the macro for 0.5s and close and done
- back in game, try it out.
- the scrolling fo the map takes too long so we need to add a bigger pause
- Edit ((map step 2))
- Highlight the first pause and edit it for 3 seconds.
- Close everything back down to the main VA screen and try it in game again
- Everything should work, however sometimes the dialog is above or below the initial place
- in game open the map and select a nearby star that is slightly above your current position
- Select this nearby star and go back to VA
- Edit ((map step 2)) again
- Select the last pause in the macro
- Add Mouse command set possition
- set this with F3 to the center search arrow at the side of the navigation bar
- Pause 0.17s
- Mouse -> Left Click
- Pause 0.5s
- Mouse -> Set Position -> in the center of the set route navigation button.
- Pause 0.17s
- Mouse -> Left Click
You may have to change the positions of the first and second click of the route icon for systems that are slightly above / below you.
All you have to do now is repeat step 3 with your system names in the macro.
Hope this helps someone.
