Here's a video with valuable guide to sorting out the keys in game - Copying binds to the game.
In order to use the voice pack, you must copy the appropriate Keybindings file from the HCS folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VoiceAttack\Sounds\hcspack\profiles\Binds
and select the appropriate keybindings (go into the folder and select the actual keybinding file, rather than copying the folders) and copy-paste it into the Elite: Dangerous folder:
C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
Now when you load up the game, go to Options>Controls and select the drop-down list at the top. You should find the keybindings in there!
This video displays the in-game Keyboard & Mouse bindings used by our pack.
Playlist guide on how to use Voice Attack
Explanation of Voice Attack Profiles:
Basic Profile: The basic profile - This is the profile you should start with, watch the help videos and become familiar with it - then you can move to the "Full House"
Full House: This profile contains the add ons - GalaXapediA, Constellations, Quantum Theory, Commodities, Ships etc. It's the profile we recommend using once you have watched the help videos.
Beta Profile (VSaSC): The Beta (Beta means it's experimental) profile is a full extension of the Basic profile, and is derived from the original Voidflakes Station and Ship Commands (VSaSC). While still in testing, it carries a great deal more commands, many of which are toggleable.
The downside to this of course is that occasionally things get messed up, keypresses may confuse the panel lists and toggles, etc. This should only be used if you're savvy with Voice Attack or don't mind that it's a work in progress.
Generally when things mess up, it's easily fixed simply by setting all ship systems to default and resetting the profile. This can be difficult and inconvenient while in stressful situations however, hence our wish to keep the profile in Beta for now, until we have it fully optimised and made easy to use by everyone - not just those who already know their way around the game and Voice Attack.
Some of the additional commands and settings available in the Beta profile -
1. The original VSaSC profile (menu navigation for stations and ship computers)
2. Most functions are operated through On/Off toggles rather than single keypresses
3. Request/Cancel Docking calls
4. System Map and Galaxy Map calls
5. Take Off and Landing calls
6. Space goblins that will eat your ship
7. More to come!
Many of Astra's vocal responses conflict with the in-game computer's voice. While these are generally up to your personal taste to switch on or off, the list below contains the sounds that most conflict with Astra.
Simply go to the in-game Options menu, then Audio, and switch these to the OFF position:
Silent Running Engaged
Silent Running Disengage
Flight Assist On
Flight Assist Off
Landing Gear Deployed
Landing Gear Retracted
Cargo Scoop Deployed
Cargo Scoop Retracted
Heatsink Deployed
Hyperspace Jump Initiated
Supercruise Jump Initiated
Many people are asking about some of the commands being disabled inside the profiles. They are supposed to be this way and do not need to be touched.
DO NOT ENABLE OR DELETE THEM. This will break some aspects, or the entirety, of your profile.
The double-bracketed commands, as well as a few others, are internal commands that are disabled so they cannot be called by voice. The voice-activated toggle commands show 'disabled' next to them simply because they are linked to the same keypress. This stops them from getting confused and inputting multiple times instead of only once, as required.
Advanced users may alter the Keybindings category and the in-game keybindings to suit their needs, however this option is strictly available for people who know what they are doing.
We take no responsibility for any mistakes you make doing this - that's why we have preset commands in the first place.
Interaction Mode or the 2-Way S-Ai works in the basic and beta profile.
TRIGGER FOR BASIC PROFILE “retract landing gearâ€
TRIGGER FOR BETA PROFILE “run diagnosticsâ€
After the triggers are used, you can then use the on, off commands for it – which is
“Interaction mode on†.
“interaction mode offâ€.
To remove the automated Interaction Mode feature, simply remove the following 3 lines from the very end of either "Run Diagnostics" and "System Checks" (Beta profile) OR from "Retracting Landing Gear" (Basic profile):
Pause 0.03 seconds
Set [interaction-mode] value to 1
Execute command, 'ASTRA RANDOM COMMAND' (and wait until it completes)
