Anyone use voice commands as in this video ???

Never was a fan of voice control in video games, mostly because in socom i had to repeat what i wanted my men to do a good seventy times before they actually understood me.

This looks impressive though, he never had to repeat himself, and he didn't have to talk like a robot for the crew to understand him. If I ever see it as a mod or something I'd probably give it a shot.

I tried voice commands for one patrol. However the novelty of it all soon wore off for me, so I went back to normal point and click mouse control which for SH3 I find quicker and easier.

Hi King_Zog
Do you happen to know the mod for this or how it can be done?

I know there's a pretty decent thread about this somewhere.

I used this free appilication:

Shoot 1.6.4
http://clans.gameclubcentral.com/shoot/

If you want to run it on Vista (or Windows 7) follow the link to download the cfg file for NET 2.0 that's on the main page.

PS All though it wasn't for me, yelling ALAAARRRRM and then having your boat crash dive is pretty cool :D

Even if it was perfect I couldn't use it. I live in an apartment, and yelling anything is a bad idea. I even use headphones instead of speakers.

Hahaha, actually you are not supposed to yell, as it confuses the voice recognition software, but sometimes I just couldn't resist!

Nice one thanks

On one of the Youtube pages (could also be his Klingon Academy Let's Play) he mentions it is done with VAC (http://www.dwvac.com/) On that site is a profiles page with a download for SH3. No experience with it myself.

Was never a huge fan of voice commands myself, but games like SH3 practically beg for it.

VAC is the program. It's not free, but it doesn't require any voice training. I also like the fact that it allows multiple phrase variants per command, so saying "Crash Dive" or "Emergency Dive" will still point to the same thing.

It's not perfect. You can't order exact numerical depth/speed. I've had to repeat things on occasion, but that's rare. The main drawback is human error. Sometimes I forget the phrase or the push-to-talk key. No doubt this will go away with time and practice.

Check out Chapter 23 of my LP if you want to see this system shine. I found it very convenient in concert with deck gun attacks.

After reading this thread I went and tried a couple programs. The only one I could make work is VAC and it has a preset profile for sh3 :yeah:

It's actually pretty cool, just have to clear some little problems.... I had a destroyer in a ramming run while I was at periscope depth and said "back emergency" it responded "yes sir! blow ballast":damn:

You can imagine the result.:wah:

The program understood "surface emergency"... I changed it to "blow ballast".

Sounds like the crew has a death wish...

I'm not feeling adventurous, so I'll probably stick with the old fashioned way until they work the bugs out... ;)

Dead they are :dead:

The good thing about VAC is that you can say anything you want for a command.

If you wanna say "to the deep you go" for fire torpedo you can do it....

Anyway, sounds like im advertising VAC :haha: and I didnt even pay for it yet.

The biggest problem with shoot is that you have to write your own profiles in notepad, and I would assume VAC has a simple and quick point and click editor, and as you have to pay for it then I'd expect it probably is the better application overall so no arguments there.

But hey, I am a big fan of FREE over handing over cash, so if anyone is having problems making a shoot profile just say and I'll post mine here, and you can use it as a template.

I didn't need to do any voice training with shoot although it is recommended, and you can configure it to say anything you want also. Just make sure you download the fix for NET 2.0 to make it work on Windows O/S post XP.

I like free stuff too:D

Ill take your offer on your profile. I'm not into the script and coding anymore so I am pretty confused. I was a real pro with the basic language though :O:. Now i'm feeling nostalgic about my TRS 80.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll let this speak for itself... :D

The good old days!!!

It was my first. BTW I still have it at home and it works! The tapes wont play anymore though. Probably demagnetize.:cry:

Not sure what it says about me, but I remember those days fondly as well...

The first is always special, mine was a Commodore Vic-20 with a whopping 2k ram. I still remember writing programs in basic and trying my hardest to condense them to 2000 characters or less. :damn:

Limitations aside, they were actually good learning systems.

That's amazing! We had two in the family but they're long gone. I used to run an old DOS sub sim (Tom Clancy's: Red Storm Rising) on mine, and believe it or not, it was pretty decent for the era.

Thanks for helping tweak the memories. Good times indeed! :sunny:
