Voice Pack suggestions.

I am interested in the idea of having a personality hang out with me while traversing the galaxy. I have seen and listened to some of the options...Jazz, A.S.T.R.A., Doris and such...and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these voice pack, suggestions or opinions on the subject.

I have never been one to "Mod" a game or to change things up. I understand I have to have VoiceAttack for it to work and figure it will come with instructions on how to set it up?

I have been out in "Open Play" for almost 2 weeks and have not had the pleasure of encountering any human commanders, so I figured with this I would at least have someone to talk to until I do.

Any help or information would be appreciated. Apologies in advance if this is not in the correct thread. New to forums as well.

Hope everyone is doing well. Safe Travels. Hope to see you out there!

Hey Clawthat, I have been using a Combination of A.S.T.R.A and Ivona Amy over the last few years. Very simple to setup, once you get used to it you can start programing it to do whatever you want in ED. Your mind will be the only limit, after a while it starts to take on a life of it's own.

Btw - Best way to see other cmdr's ingame is to take part in community goals, or join a group.

"personality hang out with me while traversing the galaxy" I had a few ideas about this to.

My first idea was to set up a chatbot server then get that to read all the Galnet articles and Elite manual and learn from them. Then interface that bot to Voiceattack via a plugin. If the interface was 2 way then the voiceattack could send commands to the bot giving it some idea of whats going on and add relevance to replies. Also I would program the plugin to trigger the bot to initaite conversations.

If you monitor keypresses, mouse movements, joystick movements and buttons over time voiceattack software could guess whether the player was likely docked, in combat, in srv, in hyperspace etc etc. Reguarly send the guessed status to the bot. Program the bot to speak back something context related randomly.

The result would be you fly about and every now and then (unless you tell it to shut up) your ships computer speaks out to you and not just nonsense maybe something useful or entertaining at the time. The player could also ask the bot questions and it would reply from it's ED universe centric brain.

Then I figured you could program in all voiceattack voicepacks library of characters pre recorded stuff to trigger in response to certain thinking within the bot programming so you could bring those characters to life more.

My second idea was the whole lot could be done as a pre-made Voiceattack plugin, or just built into the ED game itself and give brains and voices to not only your ships computer but all the NPC's to.

Thanks for the info. Ya, I didn't know if you could use multiple personalities at one time, or one at a time. I am going to look into setting that up this afternoon and see how it works. Thanks again for the insight!!! Look to see you out there!

That is pretty intense. That would be pretty cool for the AI to just start rambling. lol It would definitely bring an element to the game that is sorely missing.

An update to the Voice Pack issue...
So, I purchased Voice Attack and did the "Verity" voice pack. She doesn't work too well. Possibly because I use an Xbox controller??? If you choose the "Default Context" option for controller, the Xbox controller works flawlessly. If you try to take the Verity HCS KB&M option and add in all the Xbox controller buttons, it doesn't work at all. If you use the Default Context then add all Verity's keybinds, she will talk to me but only does a select few things...and most of those she is doing wrong.

So I don't know if I need a professional keybind so my controller stays configured properly and Verity will work, or if someone has published one I can download...I don't know. So for now, other than telling me Happy Birthday or Merry Christmas or Your welcome, she isn't of much use. lol

Any thoughts or input is welcomed and appreciated.

Somebody recently came up with a Voiceattack Variables plugin that reads ED in game stuff and makes it available in VA. Add this data to the bot when it's triggered and you have lots for your bot to 'know' and say.

Having other voices would be nice. I'd prolly force one of my friends to do all the voicing (they have cute voices) but would otherwise have very little in the way of new dialogue.
I just don't like the sound of computer voices. They don't sound natural enough to me, and it's why I can't stand vocaloids even though I call myself an Otaku.
