WoW VoiceBox Beta 0.4 Now released

[noir]

My carpal tunnel's in overdrive, so I'll be testing this tonight...

Hope it works well for you.

On a side note, I had a hard drive failure a few days ago and lost all my code since Alpha 1 (I was being lazy about uploading it to SF). So I'm having to redo everything since then. But I'm almost done.

the question begs to differ: voice commander... or wowvoicebox... which is better?

all i care about is ease of setup and use.

[Anozireth]

I'm not 100% sure of Voice Commander's capability, but I don't think it allows for you to dictate a chat message. You also have to edit the commands in a text file with it, where mine has a simple UI for editing commands.

I'm guessing from his documentation that he's using the method of simulating keystrokes that will get picked up by keyclone. My current version does not, but I plan to allow the option to switch methods in my next release, since my method is quicker and more reliable for entering more than a single key press. I do already have a means to broadcast to all instances on the local machine, just not over the network.

Hi there,

i just started to try out ur program and i find myself getting a crash every time i try to either edit a command or when i add a new one, so that leaves me with the fact that i can only use the pre-existing commands.. im running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Service pack 1 (English version) and ive tryed running it as administrator without any success.. my "error.log" is empty and there's nothing weird in my "logfile.log" , am i doing something wrong?

If not, maybe u can look in to it I would love to be able to use this program fully.



And oh, while im at it, im using Hotkeynet as my dual-boxing software, and it renames my 2 copies of world of warcraft to wow1 and wow2, will that cause confusion with your program, becouse i now find your program not responding anymore after i renamed my wow's.. If thats the reason, is there maybe an easy way to change it, or maybe u can include a function in ur next release that allows users to type in an input for what their wow's are named.. that would solve it.. if now thats the case :P



SRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT!

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your interest in my app, it's good to know someone is using it! I haven't worked with it in quite a while, but it sounds like you must have an error in your commands.xml file. If you can PM or email me the contents of that file, I might be able to help you out more.


For the second question, my app looks for windows with the title "World of Warcraft". I haven't used HotKeyNet, so I'm not sure how it renames the windows. If the windows don't say "World of Warcraft" as the title (on the start bar or if in windowed mode, at the top of the window), then my program wouldn't be able to find them. Fixing this would require a code change that I'm afraid I can't promise right now.

[Henka44]

Have u found any solution for my problem/s ?

Btw Anozireth.. im not good at coding AT ALL but i took a look at the code of ur app, couln't this be solved by changing

 
if (p.MainWindowTitle.CompareTo("World Of Warcraft") == 0)

to lets say...

 
if (p.MainWindowTitle.CompareTo("WoW1,WoW2") == 0)

??

[Anozireth]

Yes, that's where the change needs to be made. I would need to have a setting for that so it could be easily changed. I'm going to work on this tonight and I should be able to have a fix in a couple of days. I wasn't able to find any obvious problems in your commands file, but I'll do some more digging and try to add better error handling around the loading of that.



I'd like to get this project off the ground again since I have some more free time lately and I think it has a lot of potential. With that, I think I will move it to codeplex.com.

Please keep us informed, as I liked how it worked. Only problem I ever had was when I had to play more then one toon and be on vent at the same time, But the program worked real well. Would love to try it again.

Yeah needing to talk on vent at the same time would definitely be a conflict. Perhaps I can add a hot-key that temporarily disables the speech recognizer, which would of course be set to the same key as your vent push-to-talk button. Though if you don't use push to talk, it's a harder problem to solve.
