This VoiceAttack plugin reads keybindings in Elite:Dangerous and stores them as
|
|
|
|
|
|
VoiceAttack variables. It was originally written by Gary (the developer of
|
|
|
|
|
|
VoiceAttack) [and published on the VoiceAttack
|
|
|
|
|
|
forums](https://forum.voiceattack.com/smf/index.php?topic=564.0). You can find
|
|
|
|
|
|
the [original README here](ReadMe.txt) for reference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have basically done a complete rewrite the original source code at this point
|
|
|
|
|
|
and added a lot of features including automatic detection of the correct
|
|
|
|
|
|
bindings file and support for non-US keyboard layouts (see below for details).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Grab `bindEDplugin.zip` from the [release
|
|
|
|
|
|
page](https://github.com/alterNERDtive/bindED/releases/latest) and extract it
|
|
|
|
|
|
into your VoiceAttack’s `Apps` directory. If you have an older version already
|
|
|
|
|
|
installed, please delete the `bindED` subfolder first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Horizons players, that’s it! When VoiceAttack loads, bindED will
|
|
|
|
|
|
automatically detect your bindings. It will also keep a watchful eye on Elite’s
|
|
|
|
|
|
bindings folder and reload them when there is a change!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Odyssey players, there is an additional caveat: you have to use the same
|
|
|
|
|
|
preset for all 4 sections (general, ship, SRV, foot). Sadly it’s not apparent
|
|
|
|
|
|
from the files which of these sections a bind belongs to, so there is no simple
|
|
|
|
|
|
way to read multiple files properly.

## Using Binds In Commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each bind in Elite Dangerous has a name assigned in the binds file. The plugin
|
|
|
|
|
|
takes this name, prepends `ed` and turns it into a VoiceAttack variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To press the corresponding key in the game, you will have to create a new
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Key Press` action in a VoiceAttack command and use the desired variable named
|
|
|
|
|
|
after the ingame bind. In order to toggle your landing gear for example you will
|
|
|
|
|
|
have to create a `Key Press` action and use the `edLandingGearToggle` variable.

## Supported Keyboard Layouts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using any non-US layout you might have noticed that some binds don’t
|
|
|
|
|
|
work. You can set a text variable in VoiceAttack called `bindED.layout#` to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
layout you want to use. If the variable is not set it will defaut to `en-us`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following layouts are supported out of the box:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* en-US
|
|
|
|
|
|
* en-GB
|
|
|
|
|
|
* de-neo2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are on a different layout, you can either use only the keys that work
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the default layout or add support for your preferred layout yourself. See
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[Troubleshooting#Adding a Keyboard Layout]].
