As far as I am aware you have to input each command seperately. For this SHIV profile it took me about an hour starting from scratch. However, you can create your own profile in considerably less time once you have a basic profile to work from - and that's where my profile may be of use to you.

Trying to set it up for SH3, Seems to work fine, exept that i can not find the All stop button, (Swedish keyboard), I think i have tried everything now..

Not sure about the Swedish Keyboard thing......

but I thought I'd share a bit of news on Vista support concerning VAC. I'm not the author of this software but I have been helping in terms of Vista64 beta testing and it's functional, just needs some minor clean up. If anyone hasn't tried this software you should at least give it a once over. There really is nothing quite like ordering your crew around with actual speech rather than keypress's

I have an old sidewinder Game Voice (not supported in Vista) I used to use with multiple games that had a lot key commands and this software does the same thing. Makes sims a lot more immersive.

Request this be stickied in the SHIV folder.

Where does one find the SH4 package for the VAC program?

Snakeeyes · 04-07-07, 04:45 PM

I personally use the program SHOOT! which is the easiest one to use I think.

wow this thing is fun. I remember a year ago I tried this with sh3 and 'shoot' but got so frustrated and gave up because I couldn't get shoot to work. Really wish I knew about VAC back then.

Anyway this seems to be working very well and thanks to DirtyHarry for telling about setkeys.

I just love saying something and having that helmsman look at me, confirm the order and then relay to the other guy. Still wish he would stop staring at me with that crazy "im gonna kill you" look. lol anyway this has been so fun I am going to use VAC for other games. Like for voice macros and whatever else saves me time or looks cool. Hmm wonder if coh can get any use out of this thing.

Really, super thanks for letting me in on this program. My friends think it's silly talking to my game yet they can't deny how neat it is. Same people that think I am dumb for buying a nintendo wii, "it's just a gimmick man."

Whiskey Bravo! Dude! Where are you?!

You've got guys PM-ing you wanting to take advantage of your offer to try out your VAC work! YOU ALIVE MAN?!!

Well... guys I just went on and read the help files with the program and made me a rudimentary profile for SHIV. I tested it today for about and hour and I think there is more I can do to improve it.

Make sure that you have trained your MS Speech at least ONCE (I prefer the War of the Worlds but that's just a personal classic favorite of mine) to ensure that it runs ok. Twice or more is better.

Also... I've found that you might want to disable any settings on your sound card that are supposed to clarify microphone speech. I was spontaneously jumping from places on the boat back to the conn without asking a lot until I disabled my anti-echo and other settings on my sound card.

For now, a weird bug occurs that jumps me from the attack scope to the conn randomly... DAMN IRRITATING during a fight. If I can't resolve this I'll have to dump VAC. If I get it working more reliably you guys are free to ask me for my profile but I'm pretty sure WB is the master.
