VAICOM PRO plugin for VoiceAttack

Thanks for the log Spetz, it doesn't show issues.

Investigations continue.

Hello,

Unfortunately the fix doesn't work for me ether.

my logs: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1T2L6dzgf-_a4z5z0avgJhRYrEeZ_-zSr?usp=sharing

Thanks for the logs I'm looking into the issue and will come back with an update.

[EDIT] SOLVED: A faulty TacView install was blocking proper export.lua execution. Thanks for updating :beer:

Here is the log from the stand alone version.

Previously I put STEAM version test.

EDIT: WOW, that was it! TacView was the case. Thank You Hollywood so much! You provide amazing support. It works with the steam version as with the stand alone. Now I have to learn new commands and how to speak them but first few minutes with VAICOM was gr8! It's worth every penny.

Can I just type in the full path to my DCS install in the "Include custom subfolders" field to get it to auto install?

I already installed once on day one but I'm updating to the newer version because it seems to have a fix for an issue I was having...

For the .lua files that are in the DCS folder (not the one on save games) do I need to manually append the export folder contents after every patch?

If so...

It would be SO NICE if I could just add my DCS install folder somewhere so it would just do it automatically... Especially if I could add folder to check beyond one... since I have 1.5 and 2.2 installed...

Hey Combat

To update the plugin including the lua files the following steps are recommended

1) Download and install latest plugin build from the website.

2) Remove old lua file contents by backtracking manual install steps from page 33

3) Restart VA with debug mode enabled.

Do not enable custom folders.

4) After VA restart inspect the debug log to see if auto-install was successful. Perform manual lua files install (p33) if required.

5) Switch off debug mode when done.

Please have a look and if more help needed catch me on PM

Grtz

Yeah I understand... I'm pretty sure I'm done (haven't tested it... got sidetracked :) ) but it would just be really awesome if the install could handle non-standard installation locations is all.

That said... I understand it may not be so easy to program.

Works great :)

One thing I noticed though...

I'm running the Charnwood campaign and when I die or for some reason quit and restart the mission through "replay mission" I also have to close and re-start VoiceAttack. I suspect this is something that always happens so...

Is there a "re-initialize" command of some sort?

Hey Combat this install stuff may get more simple in a few weeks when we will (yes! finally!) only have a single DCS 2.5 version to deal with. I'll be looking into how uninstall/update routine can be more automated. PM inbound regarding the restart question. Cheers.

Bought and installed VAICOM PRO with the chatter. Love it. Makes the game even better.

I'd like to thank you for a great addition to DCS, have been using 2.0 for ages and just updated to the pro version. Keep up the good work.

If we are just running Vaicom pro (licensed) with no other plugins, how do we update? Your instructions are a little confusing. Do we just copy over the dll dated 1/5/18 to the VA App subfolder?

Hey Sobe yes to update the plugin simply copy and replace the dll with latest version.

To also update the lua files on an existing install follow instructions in post #156 i.e. remove the old VAICOM PRO lua code first by using p33 as reference: in each lua file the VAICOM PRO code chunck starts with a comments block, remove this comments block and all following code until the end of the file and save. Do this for the 4 lua files. Then restart VA and the auto-install will place the new lua code by itself.

Hope this clarifies.

OK I did it. It was a little scary deleting some lines in #3 and #4, but all seems fine.

Just for reference, in #3, Viacom starts at my line 1507 and in #4, it starts at line 157. I don't know if it will be the same for everyone.

On a side note, I just realized that Viacom enters info in the Export file. Since I have several export files that I use (Helios for the Su27/33, Helios for the A10c, etc), and Ikarus and just a plain export file, this gives me at least 4 export files for 1.5 stable alone. I know realize that I have to add the additional language to each of these export files. You might want to note this to users that believe the automatic install takes care of everything.

A fantastic addition to DCS, makes life so much easier. A lot to learn as I'm a newbie to DCS but having my private pilot license helps a little.

Hollywood 315 you are Amazing! (Mooi werk man!)

Test logs sent Hollywood! Hopefully when this is sorted I'll grab the Chatter plugin so I can have the complete setup at 100%!!!

I just want to thank You Hollywood for a great addition to DCS World. A very cheap buy for a excellent and very well made product! Thanks! :thumbup::clap_2:

Thanks all for the nice messages, really appreciated :)

Update: with the great help of a small but determined team of Sherlocks I managed to hunt down the bug that a few users reported regarding PTT refresh. Turns out this had to do with the Chatter.dll not being installed.

Latest build on the website is now fixed for this.

Existing installs especially without Chatter are advised to update the plugin to this latest version:

Yes only the plugin .dll needs to be replaced.

Just wanted drop in here and tell you how awesome this add-on is. Best couple of bucks I've spent on DCS, hands down. Will be picking up the chatter add-on this weekend.

I've only scratched the surface of what it can do, but It has been invaluable to me in VR, fantastic work.

@Hknine9 Your lua code requires repairing. Carefully follow the steps of post #156, also adding a DCS Repair after step 2. Have a look and I'll catch you on PM.

+++ speech profile backup tool +++

General tip:

If you invested time in training your voice recognition and your quite happy with the results

you may want to have the option to back-up and restore your Windows speech recognition profile.

Courtesy of http://www.voiceattack.com check out this helpful little Profile Manager tool:

http://www.voiceattack.com/filesend.aspx?id=SpProfileMgr.zip

This way you can also migrate your profile to another PC if needed at some point.

Question: If I want to bind a button (which is recognized as an instant press on/off only, no "hold" function) on my throttle with a "hold" or "listen for 5 seconds" when pressed function, is that possible in Voice Attack?

I want to be able to press and hold it just for enough time to say "Chief, request rearming"

I am looking to find the TX6 to the AP Engage/Disengage button below...

Beautiful, thank you!

@Duce :thumbup:

@Bucks There's quite a few options there depending on how you want to do it. On my Warthog Throttle (without TARGET) the DIS/ENG shows up as DirectX key 26 with press-and hold function.

So most straightforward may be to just map TX5 press/release to this button in the profile and see what happens.
