This is going to be very cool - I really like being able to have multiple voice comands assigned to the same key/action, especially for things like diving (I've added "Clear the bridge" and "Lookouts below") and firing each tube. I know you still have to work a bit on the tube selection aspect, but I went ahead and set it up so "Fire one", Fire two", Fire three", etc. up to "Fire ten" all work, so I can now order the crew to fire the correct tube (assuming I've selected the right tube before I say it  )
I hope there's a way to map a key/combo to open a specific tube door or doors - I'd love to be able to say "make ready all bow tubes", or "open outer doors on tubes 1 and 2" and have it actually work. I never really played using the keyboard much unless I had to (tried to use the mouse on everything possible) - with this though I'm going to have to rethink that, and check into all the possibilities of assigning keys to things I never would have messed with before.
Is there a list somewhere of every action that folks have figured out can be mapped to keys? That would be really handy for working with this speech thing (for example, can you map the weather report function to a key, or just to a button on the orders bar? - it would be great to be able to ask your watch officer for a weather report by voice command). |
Yes all of that is possible and more. Have a look in the Commands.cfg file. There are a ton of commands that are functional but never mapped to a key. I have'nt fully customized my SHIV file yet, but in SHIII I had nearly 3 full keyboards of commands (using shift/control), just so I could issue orders verbally using Shoot. I am just the opposite of you when it comes to the mouse. Mouse clicking kills immersion for me. I try to only use the mouse to look around. I use a number of multiple commands for one phrase also. Here are a few from SHIII:
"Lower all masts" - both scopes & snorkel are lowered.
"Prepare to dive" - all masts are lowered & tubes closed & dive ordered.
"Silent running" - silent running is ordered & gramophone turned off.
"At ease men" - secure from silent running & the gramophone switched back on.
"Emergency Surface" - blow ballast-go to flank speed-surface-blow ballast.
I even mapped timed inputs for the arrow keys to walk the Free camera from one station to the next, climbing ladders & going through hatches and so forth based on a verbal command. Below are a few snippets from Commands.cfg
