|
## VoiceAttack
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Obviously you will need to install [VoiceAttack](https://voiceattack.com). There
|
|
|
|
|
|
is a free trial version available, but that one is limited to a single profile
|
|
|
|
|
|
and a few commands. This is 4 profiles and … a lot of commands. You will need the
|
|
|
|
|
|
full version, available for $10 (official site) or €11.99 (Steam, IIRC $14.99
|
|
|
|
|
|
for our US-based friends).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I recommend buying on the site. Why? Because on Steam, Valve gets a 30% cut.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike many other developers Gary (the developer of VoiceAttack) remedies that
|
|
|
|
|
|
by having a price on Steam that ends up paying $10 to him. So basically, you are
|
|
|
|
|
|
paying Valve out of your own pocket. Many other developers do not do that, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
by buying from them directly instead of on Steam you are literally giving them
|
|
|
|
|
|
extra money. Please do keep that in mind in the future!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You also will generally need to opt into the beta version. I am usually at the
|
|
|
|
|
|
forefront of bug reports and feature requests, and I do rely on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
fixes/additions in beta versions quite often.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## EDDI
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[EDDI](https://github.com/EDCD/EDDI) is a companion application for Elite:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dangerous, providing responses to events that occur in-game using data from the
|
2021-01-25 17:56:21 +01:00
|
|
|
|
game as well as various third-party tools. In this case, you will need to run it
|
|
|
|
|
|
as a VoiceAttack plugin.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
EDDI also regularly publishes beta versions. Unless a profiles release
|
2021-01-25 17:56:21 +01:00
|
|
|
|
explicitly states it you will _not_ have to run EDDI beta.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## bindED
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[bindED](https://github.com/alterNERDtive/bindED) reads your Elite Dangerous
|
|
|
|
|
|
binding files and makes them available to VoiceAttack as variables. That way
|
|
|
|
|
|
commands can be portable and you do not have to manually go through them and
|
|
|
|
|
|
change any actions that you happen to not have the standard binds for.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This plugin is _included_ in the release package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Elite Scripts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-01-25 17:56:21 +01:00
|
|
|
|
I have written a [collection of Python
|
2021-01-21 15:42:00 +01:00
|
|
|
|
scripts](https://github.com/alterNERDtive/elite-scripts) to interface with
|
|
|
|
|
|
various 3ʳᵈ party services like EDSM or Spansh. Those are called by the profiles
|
|
|
|
|
|
for various tasks, like checking a system’s body count.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the future they will be replaced by VoiceAttack plugin code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The scripts are _included_ in the release package.

## ED-NeutronRouter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(required for SpanshAttack)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[ED-NeutronRouter](https://github.com/sc-pulgan/ED-NeutronRouter) interfaces
|
|
|
|
|
|
with [Spansh’s neutron plotter](https://spansh.uk/plotter) and makes the result
|
|
|
|
|
|
available to VoiceAttack.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will also eventually replaced by my own plugins.
