[REL] sh4speech - voice command for SH4

[scott613]

Hi Tomoose...

228x739 seems to work for me...

I think there may be a few more items that are mis-mapped as well...

Now that changes are as simple as editing CSV files - I think I may seriously modify the config files...

In just a few minutes of playing with the files - I fixed something else that I wanted to customize... When telling the deck gun to "Fire At Will" I don't ever want to go to the deck gun position - I just want them to start shooting... By default - if you issue two deck gun commands in a row - you find yourself in the gunners seat... I changed it so the only time I wind up in the gunners seat is when I say "Deck Gun"... Works for the AA too...

Also changing the voice commands to coincide to what we use today in the Navy.... For example - most orders are not just blurted out in the control room - first you have to identify the station you want to perform the task... It's not just "Heading left thirty degrees" it's "Helm - come left thirty degrees"... Not sure how they did it back in the day - though...

Well - I'll try playing with the files tonight to see what I can do... I need to make sure I'm not breaking anything when I make the changes... If I create anything worth sharing - I'll ask the owner if he minds me sharing the config files...

Thanks again to whomever created this setup - great program !!!

Hi everyone,

I know I pop in here very randomly but that's just how it is.

Scott613, feel free to redistribute any changes as long as the license file is kept intact. You know the typical rules, any modification is fine and redistributable as long as it is not for profit and all that jazz.

Hoping to find time to start subbing again soon. I think I've completely forgotten how to manually work the torpedo system, it's been soooo long...

I'd like to add that it makes me *extremely happy* to see other community membes continuing to provide excellent support for this in my absence.

I was laid off from my job of 10 years in December - though I kind of saw it coming - and have been working hard on my own business. Things are working out fairly well but it needs a lot of my attention. I can't wait for the day to come when I can return to this project and beef it up to make it more compatible with all the latest mods, easier to use, resolve issues related to customized key config files, and maybe even start actually playing the game again.

Minsc:

The programming of this application was so wonderfully streamlined and straightforward that it makes supporting it very easy! I wish ALL apps were programmed this way.

Hi Minsc:

Actually I'm having a blast with your program - thanks again for all the hard work... I've just been playing with the CSV files for TMO... A few of the locations in the "dials" file needed to be changed... Maybe TMO changed the dials a bit - not sure - as I am pretty new around here...

One issue that I couldn't fix - TMO seems to use a different dials bar for the guns - depending if they have one or two guns provisioned... I think I'll just make two "dials.csv" and swap them out as needed...

This is all just probably for my own use...

Good luck with you business...

Take care,
Scott

Note that if you look carefully at the structure of the BAT files and the CSV folders, you'll see that you can make as many sets as you want of custom CSVs for different purposes and have the BAT's launch them, so you don't have to swap files in and out as you change game modes. shSpeech out of the box already has such BATs for stock vs. Trigger Maru (though that seems outdated now) but you can make more.

So like the TM bat file has:
voice 1024x768 "trigger maru" 1 right sh4
while the stock has:
voice 1024x768 stock 1 right sh4

So, that third parameter refers to which set of CSV files you want to use under the "csv files" directory.

Just a quick update y'all... I'm downloading TMO and PE4 right now, I'm getting the sub itch... which of course means if shSpeech doesn't work right with them I will be modifying it... everyone hope I make it to the end of an updated release before bailing out!

Good to see you again. Good luck - and good hunting!
