[REL] sh4speech - voice command for SH4

in_vino_vomitus · 05-17-13, 06:21 AM

It needs a mic' - Mine is built into my laptop.

Good news - something worked - The problem wasn't key codes. I had sh4 set to run as admin - I disabled this - I may have tweaked a couple of other things - Whatever, it's working now, although a couple of keys needed reallocating to different commands - rear tubes cycle with the "E" key, crash Dive id CTRL-D etc.

The major bugbear at the moment is the dials, which don't correspond to the increments I specify. I'm looking at the csv file formats and it's going to be fun teaching myself what sin cos and tan all do - I didn't realise in school, that I'd ever need them. But we didn't have games like this back then

The good news though is the sub can be adequately controlled with the program as is, and it can only get better - so thanks again to minsc' for writing it

Cybermat47, it needs a microphone. A cheap headset with boom mic will cost you about $10-15 at Wally's and it's all you need.

IIV, you need to modify dials.csv. Forget the sines and cosines. You just have to change the locations of dial centers and radii. No trig needed, but you do need some way to measure the locations of the dials in pixels. You can use screenshots and P'Shop, or just measure them on the screen. Depending on the megamod you are using and your resolution, I may have a set of .csv files that will work for you.

EDIT: Checked your sig. I have a set of corrected files that work with TMO at 1920x1080. They might work for your res. If you wish, I can make the files available.

BW - thanks for the offer, but my laptop runs in 1366x786 - I'm guessing your files won't work - Looks like I'll have to do it by hand

IVV, mine works fine at 1366x768. 1920x1080 is exactly 16/9. 1366x768 is almost 16/9. (Difference of 0.04%) I do have my sh4speech set up to use my own version of Commands.cfg, so you would either have to adapt or convert.

Remember to change the resolution setting in trigger_maru.bat.

If you are going to fix it yourself, you will need to change command_bar.csv and dials.csv. Careful measurement will get you close, then you can refine it by trial and error. I found that ALT-TABing out of SH4 is the fastest way to test the changes, but you must restart sh4speech each time you make a change to any .csv. sh4speech caches the .csv files on initialization, so any change you make while it is running won't have an immediate effect. Tweaking all the dials, the TDC, and the command bar took me maybe 8-10 hours. Not trivial, but not that daunting, either.

I take it that no RFB version exists?

BW _ I didn't spot your reply earlier - The problem I ended up having was that turning on speech recognition on my laptop meant there were a bazillion other commands that the thing thought I meant - not sure how I'll work round that yet - But the aspect ratio info is very very useful - thanks

IVV, once I trained my voice rec, I didn't have any problems. I load up SH4speech and, since there is a limited set of possible commands, it usually finds the right one without fuss. I did have a problem with a very classy Logitech wireless headset I bought - the sound was killer, but the voice pickup did not seem to come through very clear. I've used a $20 cheapo from the Shack with better results. I now use a Sony wireless set intended for the Playstation and get excellent voice rec.

Fish40, there is an RFB-compatible version. Get everything you need here: http://knepfler.com/shSpeech/ I had to tweak some of the files to get them to work the dials right at my rez - 1920x1080. Happy to share them with you if you want. Pls PM.
