EliteScreenshots VoiceAttack plugin

Elite Dangerous saves screenshots taken natively (using F10 or alt+F10) as bitmaps in your “Pictures” folder. There are many tools to automatically convert, move and rename those. This one is a VoiceAttack plugin.

Note: In order to use ingame information like your CMDR name or your current system in the output file name you will have to use EDDI and install it as a VoiceAttack plugin.

Install

  1. Go to the latest release.
  2. Download the attached VoiceAttack-EliteScreenshots.zip file.
  3. Extract the contents to the Apps directory in your VoiceAttack installation folder.

Upgrade

See Install.

Configuration

Output Directory

By default, the plugin saves new screenshots to your Desktop.

You can change that by setting the EliteScreenshots.outputDirectory# text variable in VoiceAttack.

File Name Template

The default file name for screenshots is %datetime%-%cmdr%-%system%-%body% (plus the .png extension).

You can set your own file name template by setting the EliteScreenshots.format# text variable in VoiceAttack.

The following tokens will automatically replaced by the corresponding values.

  • %body%: the stellar object in which sphere of influence you currently are
  • %cmdr%: your current CMDR name
  • %date%: the current date (YYYY-MM-DD)
  • %datetime%: the current data and time (YYYY-MM-DD hh-mm-ss)
  • %shipname%: your current ship
  • %system%: the system you are currently in
  • %time%: the current time (hh-mm-ss)
  • %vehicle%: you current vehicle (one of “Ship”, “SRV”, “Fighter”)

Converting Old Screenhots

On startup the plugin will inform you if it finds older screenshots. You can run the convertold plugin context to batch convert them .

If you run into any errors, please try running the profile in question on its own / get a fresh version. If that doesn’t fix the error, look at the devel branch and see if it’s fixed there already.

If you have no idea what I was saying in that last parargraph and / or the things mentioned there don’t fix your problem, please file an issue. Thanks! :)

You can also say “Hi” on Discord if that is your thing.
