Terminators Voice Attack Package V1

What took you so long, Mower?
All the best, Uwe

Yes, I’m running my Windows with the Englisch languagepack installed, the Dutch languagepack does not support voice recognition. I messed around with installing the Englisch languagepack, installing the Englisch voice recognitionpack, then reverting back to the Dutch languagepack. This seemed to work, the Englisch voice recognitionpack stayed installed. The results weren’t that good though so in the end i switched back to the englisch languagepack. Of course that works great. I was using KeySpeech at that time, but I don’t think it using a different app would make any difference.
Greetz,
TerminatorWould you know if installing this language pack on win7 professional would work? I seem to recall that this feature was only supported on win7 ultimate or whatever it was called. Thanks!
All the best, Uwe

Not a Win7 user for quite some time now, so I don’t know. I also “heard” before Win7 was needed for voice recognition, but there is no harm in trying, is there?
Could be that since Win7 is no longer supported, restrictions are removed, but that’s just an assumption of course.

Just checked the MS site, looks like the restriction (ultimate & enterprise only) is still in place.

Still, don’t hurt to try [emoji6]

Can I ask which version of VA you are running? I have tried to import the profile but am unable. I have version 1.6.9 and it doesn’t want to import the profile even when run as an administrator.

Are you getting an error message?

Are you getting an error message?
Only this:
Unable to import voice attack package
The Package could not be imported:
Unable to copy package sounds to destination folder C:\program files(x86)\voice attack\sounds (could not complete operation on some files and directories. See the data of the exception for more details) . You may have to run voice attack as an adminisrator in order to import this packageMower, thanks for your help. It has just loaded so guess it must have needed a few goes. Fly safe

So did it eventually work or not? With admin rights you should be able to import the sound files……

Yes thank you, all working fine. I didn’t do anything differently, seems as if it just needed a few attempts in administrator mode to get it to load. Looking forward to using it now. Thanks for your hard work

Great work Terminator! It looks like you’ve covered most every command we’d want to use.
I noticed that there are a large number of profiles to accomplish the goal of allowing the pilot to use the correct callsign as an option when calling a command. This makes it very natural and immersive rather than just putting some keypress macros on a few basic command words. If I could mention one thing, as a VoiceAttack nut myself, I’ve found that there are so many ways to do something to accomplish the same goal, and some of them allow for less work on the part of the developer of a profile. For example, the optional dynamic command brackets can allow for more than one word to preceed the entire command sentence, and by lowering the number of total commands (which are spread across multiple profiles) you can make it easier to edit, modify, or update in the future.
example: [Tower;] [Avenger;Claw;Cobra;Cowboy;Falcon;Fury;Gypsy;Lobo;Panther;Python;Serpent;Shark;Snake;Stud;Viper;Weasel;] [1..9] [1..4] Inbound For Landing
If the goal is to ensure that the command does not go through if the user states the incorrect callsign, a single command could be used (instead of changing to a completely different profile) to set a text flag of which callsign they are using:
example: [b]When I say:[/b] Set Callsign [Avenger;Claw;Cobra;Cowboy;Falcon;Fury;Gypsy;Lobo;Panther;Python;Serpent;Shark;Snake;Stud;Viper;Weasel] [b]When this command executes, do the following sequence:[/b] Set Text [CallsignVariable] to '{CMDSEGMENT:1}' Play sound, '{VA_SOUNDS}\{CMDSEGMENT:1}.wav' (and wait until it completes)
It will take the spoken word and fire the corresponding .wav file you’ve created, and set it as a variable we can compare to later on.
And for the first example, this “check” would be easily integrated into each command to make sure the correct callsign was used, and otherwise the command(s) would not execute:example: [b]When I say:[/b] [Tower;] [Avenger;Claw;Cobra;Cowboy;Falcon;Fury;Gypsy;Lobo;Panther;Python;Serpent;Shark;Snake;Stud;Viper;Weasel] [1..9] [1..4] Inbound For Landing [b]When this command executes, do the following sequence:[/b] Begin Text Compare : [{CMDSEGMENT:1}] Equals [CallsignVariable] Press T key and hold for 0.109 seconds and release Pause 0.07 seconds Press 1 key and hold for 0.127 seconds and release End Condition
In this manner, you could do away with all of those multiple profiles. I gotta say, as a regular user of VoiceAttack, I have a Master Profile and a small handful of other profiles, but they are each made/named for the game they correspond to (in alphabetical order) - because of this, all of your excellent BMS profiles have intermixed in the list to hilarious results, of course. I only offer the above constructive criticism and tips to help you condense and improve your profile if you wish, even though they use some of the more difficult and advanced VA features, because I’m an absolute fan of any fellow VoiceAttack creator! Everything in your profile(s) works great already, so don’t mind me.
I personally use a dynamic wildcard setup for BMS commands, but even the VA developer notes it is not for everyone. It’s sometimes tricky to set up, but I only have a few commands for things I use most often (taxi/landing/tanker/awacs declare and awac request picture). A wildcard takes ANYTHING said before the command and disregards it, only focusing on the keywords of the command. It is very powerful, experimental, and potentially buggy due to the open ended nature. But this gives us the freedom to say our personalized bit however naturally we want (“Good afternoon Kunsan Tower, this is Cowboy 4-1 requesting landing clearance”) instead of having to remember rather specific words to call a command.
example: *request [clearance to;] [land;landing] [clearance;] [over;]; *requesting [clearance to;] [land;landing] [clearance;] [over;]
There are so many variations on how this command can be called, in very natural ways - anything ending with a [;] semicolon is optional. The asterisk dicatates that anything before these words is disregarded. If it was at the end*, anything AFTER is disregarded. If they surround a word or sentence, anything spoken that CONTAINS those words in the middle will execute. See page 16/17 of the VA manual for more info on Dynamic Commands and Wildcards.
(note we should be able to use [request;requesting] but you cannot use brackets near a * wildcard asterisk, therefore it’s split as a multipart command)
The rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper in VoiceAttack Just some food for thought on your journey. Keep up the great work, bro!

so don’t mind me.
Hey Selmer,
Thanks for your comments and great examples. And just to make sure, I am not offended by any of your input at all. This is just my first profile I created for BMS (it doesn’t say V1 for fun [emoji4]). So there is still a lot to learn and what better then to learn from somebody who’s knowledge is already far better. There’s still some things brewing in my mind I like to change in the profile and your examples opened up some possibilities, so thanks for that.
At the moment I’m working on a totally different project (nothing to do with BMS), so it will take some time before V2 will surface, but when the time is right it will be there[emoji3]. So for now, thanks for your input!Greetz

Is you VA profile available for download ? -
Hate to sound stupid, but what exactly do you do with VA? From this thread, I see you can give commands to the AI, but what else can you do? Thanks in advance.
-
It can enter keystrokes or mouse movement for anything again but I’m using it for BmS radio comma and when you eliminate the player voice it’s very immersive and reduces workload.
-
Ok thanks…and just $10? Question: I use a very good desktop mic on PTT (ears get sore with headphones). Does anyone know if VA picks up background noise and transmit false orders? That would be the only hold up for me. Thanks again.

I don’t want to use it for anything a real pilot couldn’t do (like saying launch missile, etc.). From what you’re saying, I could use it to control the AI through voice commands (which is real). Is this all set up in the OP profile? I’m assuming he’s put all of the keyboard commands to direct your wingmen and talk to the tower/tanker/AWACS?
EDIT: DOH! I didn’t know the profile download had instructions. I’m crystal clear on what it can do and will DL tonight!
