Download Shoot speech program here! (open for discussion)

I don't know if anyone else knows about this, but I sure as heck enjoy it!
Here are links for a speech program that works with office SAPI 5.1 speech recognizer. The shIII profile included as a link also.
THis program can be used for many different games, and you can make your own profiles once you get the hang of it.

But you have to have speech installed in office and you must have .NET 1.0 framework or 1.1. (DIrect X 8.1 too, but you should have that) Other wise, you end up like this:

.NET 1.1 here:

Shoot 1.6.4 available here:
http://clans.gameclubcentral.com/sho...hoot-1.6.4.zip

SHIII profile available here:

Other profiles available here:

Woh horsey, don't go installing .NET 2.0 if you want to use Shoot 1.6.4. You MUST have .NET 1.0 (preferably 1.1) installed to run Shoot 1.6.4.

If you install .NET 2.0 then for Shoot to continue to work you must:

a) have .NET 1.1 (already) installed AND
b) follow the below steps:
1. Open the shoot.exe.config file using Wordpad.
2. Edit the file to look like this:

<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<clear/>

</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322"/>
</startup>
<runtime/>
</configuration>

3. Save the edited file.
4. Shoot 1.6.4 will now run fine as long as you have both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 installed.

(I don't take credit for this fix - I'm not sure who originally stumbled upon it, but I'm sure they're now the best friend of a lot of people!)

But a good timely reminder as it's been a while since Shoot's been mentioned here.

sorry to burst your bubble, but have you checked my link???

The link goes to microsoft.com. (edited: woops! my link is only for 1.1, but most people don't want to screw around with the config file, so stick with 1.1 people!)
Also, if you run WIndows Update,(update.windows.com) all .NET frameworks that aren't installed on your computer will be under optional software downloads category.(This method is usaully easier, but if you're not connected to the internet at home [like me] my link will download .NET 1.1, and then you can put that to a disk and bring it home.

Thank you for your concern though.

edited: Some of my info will be wrong until the summer, because I have free time in school to get online. WHen I get out of school, I will have a lot of time on the computer to screw around and check my info before I post it! So don't hunt me down!

Say...
do you knowwhere and what file to edit so that the sub can operate on diesel partially submerged?

And so you can operate the deck gun in rough weather?

[JScones]

Well the label of your link is misleading then. Perhaps you'd like to clarify it to avoid further confusion. Oh, I see you have now changed it.

Anyway, when the topic was last raised here people had problems because they had installed .NET 2.0 for another application and it shot Shoot. PLEASE DO NOT make us live through all that again.

I don't know whether the original Shoot 1.6.4 download includes the fix - I don't think it does. But it would be plausible to suggest that subsequent hosters may have included the fix.

Pls visit the Shoot Homepage and read the included link for more information.

Anyway, if people follow your above links they should be OK and will not need to stuff around with any files. But if they *do* have .NET 2.0 installed for whatever reason, they *may* need to undertake the fix posted above.

No, but I'm sure others here will be able to help you...

Is it possible to get shoot recognising german? I've tried to spell things phonetically with some success, but a few things always get misunderstood.

I had this working great with my abbreviated German language profile, before something installed .NET 2.0 on my machine and I lost my ability to use Shoot 1.6.4 - now I'm gonna have to check out the posts above and see if I can get it working again somehow.

If you want to read about getting Shoot to work with a German profile, check out this thread:

Good luck, and good hunting!

[EDIT] AWESOME!! Thanks for this thread - the fix for .NET 2.0 mentioned above does work - I can use my voice commands again

Now I'll have to start playing during the daytime again, 'cause the family always complains for some reason when I shout at my crew in German late at night

I'm pretty sure if you set the language on your speech option, (control panel\speech) you can change it to german. You might need to download something from microsoft.com to support German.
Then you need to edit your game profile for German speech commands. (just the "phrase" not anything else.)
It should look like this then: (except not red)

<command name="Ahead Slow 1" phrase="kleine fahrt">
<key type="1"/>

You can also just uninstall .NET 2.0 from the add\remove programs and it should return to 1.1 if they were installed in order.

[JScones]

Yes, as you said you really do need to check your info before posting don't you.

Two things:

1. If Panthercules removes .NET 2.0, then, umm, his application that requires .NET 2.0 may not work anymore now will it?
2. Once you've installed .NET 2.0 you cannot completely remove it, even if you uninstall it (simply due to the cumulative way .NET is installed). Try it...you'll most likely end up with shared DLL errors.

Further info at Microsoft's own site here, here and here (there's loads more if you're bored). Basically if you remove .NET 2.0 you need to then repair your .NET 1.1.

Please get your facts right - you really are potentially screwing around with user's machines here with your advice on .NET.

the link does not work anymore. Any chance you could tell me again? Are there some files you could provide so I neednt do things again or do I have to teach shoot to recognize MY german anyway?
Thanks!

Just so you know Jscones, I do make my inputs at school during break (that's only 3 minutes long!!!!!!!!!!!

Another idea: use a second hardrive using XP and have 2.0 installed on that one and 1.1on the other.

edit: Besides, I don't worry about .NET because shoot is the only thing I use it for. Perhaps microsoft will come out wit ha fix soon? 2.1???? Maybe shoot's creator should be workin gon that too. I'll email them.

I don't know, just an idea.

A fix for what? Microsoft considers the current .NET install process as "behavior by design". General users, however...
