Every stratagem should be in now with Orbital napalm added in 1.11. Regarding the spacebar thing, I haven't really picked up on that. But should be doable. I kinda don't want to add a setting for each preferred key, but maybe there could be a programmable command like "Press your stratagem key to set it" or something along those lines.

Awesome! I have a controller here and the the changelog has a "Planned" feature for controller support that I have been kicking down the road for a long time. I need to figure out how to implement it into the framework. But generally you can change the F_up, F_down, F_left and F_right commands to use your preferred controller buttons instead of wasd or arrow keys. The issue is mainly that controllers aren't easyly defined by a standard. Maybe I can record and store the preferred buttons somehow.

@@TestNewphone-f6n agreed. Arma lends itself very well to systems like this.

The first thing to check is to make sure you are running VoiceAttack as administrator. It's the standard suggestion from the dev. Other than that, make sure the program is sending the commands to either "the active window" or somesuch or is targeting the game directly.

@@Wolf37f fair question! My participation in the democratic process has been lacking as of late. I'm out of town most of the summer, so it's just that I haven't been at the PC. It'll be a couple of weeks or so until I'm back and can get back at it.

@@woofer_808 No worries, I did sorta figure out how to update it to add the new commando by duplicating the line for the EAT then just editing the directions, but I am not proficient with voice attack at all so I wouldn't know how to make a new command from scratch.

@@woofer_808 Hey, saw you haven't updated the profile in a while. I was wondering if you want my file? I have just updated it to include the the Anti Tank mines.

​@@Wolf37f Hey! I've not been able to do any gaming at all for a good two months, but I am back now and the profile is updated. Thanks for the offer though!

Hey! It's cool to do it here, but if you want a more reliable way of being a hold on me you can search for the Voice attack profile called Speakeasy for Arma. I have a discord server for that which should be listed along that profile. I can't get you a link myself right now.

@@woofer_808 I will seek you out on Discord then! It is my preferred form of communication anyways. 😁

Oh damn. That's where the change is supposed to be done. What key are you trying to use? Sounds like I need to do some testing.

@@woofer_808 I think I tried L (something unmapped). It either would not initiate the command or would perform the command and then not finish execution. Other has reported the same/similar issues it appears.

@@NotFranksPlanet One weird thing I just discovered is that when I set a key in game settings the input type changes until it gets to the "press" type. I have to make sure that it is using "hold" for the L-key to work.

@@NotFranksPlanet Ok, so when I switched to L as Hold in-game and in the F_commandStart command in VA I did notice some intermittent misses in the commands. The problem went away when I switched it all back to use L-Ctrl instead. I can't say why this happens though. The problem people have had with these intermittent command failures with commands not completing is something of a mystery to me still.

That is very weird and also the most frustrating type of bug. Did you try it with the profile in a slower mode (with the command "voice attack slow")? I confirmed it working on my end.

You got the gist of it. Gary that makes voiceattack says he will work on updating va for voice access as soon a the documentation for it becomes available. Both the old and the new systems should overlap though. Your best bet is gonna be the voiceattack forums for this one as I'm still on win 10.

Oh damn. Do you think it comes with the wrong default setting? Can't check at the moment.

Set pauses to 0.05 seconds and you'll have no problems.

Yeah. The speed is by design. I play about half my missions with voice. The manual commands come in at 7 or higher difficulty basically because it is just so much faster overall.

You'll have to press the button "edit profile" on the main screen, find the two prefixes with those commands and double click each. In the top text box you then just replace the contents with your own stuff.

each alternative wording is separated by a semicolon. The default one for requests is named "request;request and deploy;request and activate;request on my marker;on my marker request;request on my position;on my position request;requisition and deploy;requisition and activate" But you can replace all that with whatever you like.

The fire mission one is shorter, it is named "call;call in;fire mission;fire"

Maybe a set of generic ones that it can randomize between?

Oh yeah. It's made to be customized. When updates to the profile comes out, you can then update only the background framework and get any new commands. So if you only change the phrasing then it's no problem. I'll have to remake it a bit so that the prefix system can be removed if anyone so desire. Will be looking at that soon(tm)

good point on the magnets! And yes, I kept the original resistor since the batteries get close enough to 5V anyway. Still going strong, but the micro switch can get pushed in too far now. So when that gives up the ghost I'll do the magnet solution instead!

I used the flashlight shell and took the LEDs out and soldered the trackIR wires into one of the led spots. Since the arm was broken it attaches to the inside of the flashlight tube. Magnets on outside of tube. Switch in back functions as normal.

Wish i could make TH-cam but hat hearing my voice.

@@ummyeah641 I get that. Usually others don't though which is how I got past it in the beginning.

I'm super happy that it helps you. It's cool that they ship windows speech as just a part of the basic system.

Honestly dunno. But probably not. Best I got, I'm afraid.

Hey! The disabled rows in the "open map" command are there so that the profile doesn't press the stratagem key before pressing tab. Does that not work for you? Otherwise you just enable disabled rows by marking them, right clicking them and select "enable actions".

@@woofer_808 Doesn't seem to work for me. I did change the map key to b but I changed the key to b in VA too. Will test some more, but even before I changed the key to b I couldn't open the map by speaking "Open Map". It also didn't register in VA. EDIT: FIXED-ALL GOOD-DISREGARD. not sure exactly, but a restart of VA and a "Voice Attack Modified" seemed to resolve it lol. opening the map was the only cmd I had an issue with. so weird. thanx again.

Haha! Right?

Because of how windows deals with some controllers, it may. But generally it works with some setup. This particular profile is keyboard and mouse for now. It's pretty easy to modify in just a few places though.

@@woofer_808 Yeah, I will test it out shortly and let you know how it works for me.

​@@woofer_808I had a weird bug where the game wouldn't recognize my Ctrl key input, but closing and relaunching the game fixed it. Happy to say that it works perfectly so far with controller with your default profile. It does not interrupt controller input while receiving the arrow key inputs. It's so nice to use. Thanks again.

@@TaterMater22 Thank you! That is awesome information to have.

Please can you explain better?!? I have some commands perfectly recognized and others blocking in the middle...do not understand why...using 0.1 sec between one key and the other

What do you mean 0.1 seconds between key presses? Are you not using the "F_(Direction)" commands? Regardless, I'll paraphrase the start of my example command I made, perhaps it'll help you figure out what's wrong. Command "F_commandStart", above the "DO NOT EDIT ABOVE THIS LINE" Comment Command "F_Down" Command "F_Up" "F_Right" x2 "F_Up" Pause 0.5 seconds Click Mouse Pause 1 seconds Press Ctrl "F_Down" Etc. "F_commandEnd", under the "DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE" Comment.

That looks a bit like a typo, so I am assuming you are using a Xbox 360 controller on a pc. With that I went on the voiceattack forum. It seems like as long as the windows game controller window recognizes the controller it should show up in VA as well. Is that the case? Otherwise if the controller is one of those that uses something other than the generic game controller driver it might be an issue. If that is the case you could try setting it up with a vJoy intermediate. That's what I do for my arduino controllers. But an Xbox 360 really shouldn't be a problem from what I know, so there may be something else going on.

@@woofer_808 yes a wired Xbox 360 controller on PC. So in the Options>General>Joystick Options, I enabled my Xbox 360 controller and it recognizes my button presses. For example, I have responses set up for when I press Button 3(X) to reload. I linked it to a random integer (so it doesn't happen ever reload). However, when I go to a profile to create a voice activated command, when I select keypress the joystick does not come up. It only wants to recognize keyboard presses. I want to ask for an Autocannon, and it presses A X A Y Y B (I have Stratagems set to X/Y/A/B). I tried looking for a profile specific setting to enable joysticks within the command or select joysticks but found nothing. Is there something I am missing?

@@woofer_808 I figured it out. Even though I'm playing on a 360 controller I can still use the keyboard Stratagem key bindings for everything I need and it doesn't disrupt my controller. Sorry for the confusion

Wish you have a good time expending plenty of liberty!

A couple of questions: Do you hear the beeps when you run commands? Also, have you made sure that the keys for inputting sequences are the same in the game and in VA - so they both use either WASD or arrows? I've had a couple of people having trouble with the commands not executing the keypress functions (F_Up for example) in each command.
