StreamAttack

This profile uses the EDDI plugin to write a bunch of information about your commander, your current location and your ship to files that can be accessed e.g. by your streaming software to be displayed on stream.

Default folder is %appdata%\StreamAttack\.

Requirements

In addition to VoiceAttack, you will need the following plugins to use this profile:

EDDI installed as a VoiceAttack plugin

EDDI speech responder

For the convenience of people that have not been using EDDI in the past, StreamAttack will deactivate the speech responder automatically to not clutter them with unwanted TTS.

If you are already an EDDI user and want to keep the default speech responder functionality, you will have to run the enablespeechresponder plugin function of the EDDI plugin from your profile’s startup command after the StreamAttack.startup command invocation.

In order to do that, choose “Other” → “Advanced” → “Execute an External Plugin Function”, choose the EDDI plugin and set the “Plugin Context” to “enablespeechresponder”.

Settings

See the Configuration Variables section.

Including the Profile

When including the profile, be sure to

Run the startup command. You will need to have a startup command in your profile (= one that is run on profile loading) and call StreamAttack.startup from that one.
Set configuration options. In the same startup command of yours, overwrite all configuration variables you want changed; after the StreamAttack.startup call. See below.
Make sure all EDDI events that StreamAttack needs are correctly handled. For all events used in StreamAttack that you already have handlers for in your profile, you’ll have to include a call to StreamAttack.<event name>. E.g.
for “EDDI Jumped”, call StreamAttack.EDDI Jumped by name from your ((EDDI Jumped)) command.

Commands

clear jump target: clears the current jump target.
set jump target: sets the jump target to the currently targeted system. Distance will be written to the configured file.
[copy;open] ship build: copies the current ship build (coriolis) or opens it in your default browser.
open StreamAttack folder: opens the configured folder in Explorer.
