Master the Thu'um using your PC Mic!

 

**UPDATED - FIRST RELEASE**

 

WHAT YOU NEED

 

 

OPTIONAL

 

THE STORY:

 

So there I am, fighting a frost dragon when it dawns on me..

 

"There should definitely be voice control for shouts! and when you whistle you should call your horse over!"

 

"yeah baby.." replies my girlfriend, probably not too enthused as she plays her 360 version on the other end of the room.

"you know some guy set it up with Kinect right?"

 

This was news to me - so a quick Google showed off the video. the Kinect stuff was OK, the same as all the other FAAST stuff, give me my 360 controller any day. but the real kicker - he was using voice control. in a very well.. unimmersive way.

 

"Sword!" the sword would be selected

"Fast Heal!" he would switch out his left hand for the spell.

 

Yeh.. my dragonborn dark elf thief doesn't shout out every time he pulls out his bow like hes in the middle of a LARP session.

 

but still.. the guy had done it, and props to him. the article i read had the only bit of info i needed. VAC, a program that lets you record voice commands then setup hotkeys to play when a command is recognized. he had given me the key.

 

ALREADY INCORPORATED

  • Uses 360 controller rather than kinect. FAAST is great to see working in a tech demo sense, but really Kinect isnt that much fun compared to a controller/keyboard. (Also note all of this if keyboard compatible also, I just prefer the controller
  • No "Sword" or "Axe" commands that make you feel like your more inspector gadget than dragonborn...
  • direct one to one shouts. shout "FUS" you get "FUS" shout "FUS RO DA" thats what you get.
  • all 'shout' character voices replaced with silent replacement .fuz files to enhance immersion when shouting.
  • Script Dragon integration for Shout Hotkey and Horse Whistle mods!
  • Doesn't mess with your hotkeys ^_^
  • About a third of the shouts have been mapped thus far, though its very easy to add your own (or change to any hot-key enabled action, magic/race powers/werewolf)

 

PLANNED

  • push to talk function to combat unwanted shouting (in towns etc)
  • added companion commands as these mods are released over the coming weeks/months
  • add werewolf (howl anyone?) :devil:

 

THE FUTURE

 

more shouts mapped to the VAC profile as I unlock them in the game (not one for spoilers)

perhaps a 'HAIL!' rather than the activate button to talk to people, so we can rid ourselves of more onscreen prompts. (i already have the crosshair and compass off)

 

keep your eye on this space and happy shouting 8)

 

THANKS

The devs of VAC - this wouldnt be possible without this program

The guys over @ Kinect FAAST for pointing me to VAC

Alexander Blade - for making Script Dragon

Eldiran - for making Extra Shout Hotkeys (http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2241) **requires script dragon

n00854180t - for making Horse Whistle (http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1767) **requires script dragon **may not work with skyrim 1.3 (tbc)

NVShacker - for making 360 Hotkey Enabler (http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=310) - this taught me a lot about the controlmap.txt in Data/Interface/

BETHESDA SOFTWORKS for creating the greatest game series of all time

OMG, I would like this ~!!

 

BTW, instead of Hello, can we use something else ? 'Hail~!' like in Morrowind perhaps ? You know, something shorter than 'Hello'..

Or better if you can make it so that 'Trade!' would jump to Barter screen right away, skipping the dialogue screen altogether.

Voice Command your Companions would be so thrilling. (without selecting him/her first, of course.)

well ofcourse, the idea requires that everyone records his or her voice so the software can recognise it, theres no hard/fast rule to it.

 

maybe if it got quite popular we could upload our own and make a library so one day it will be as simple as an install, but theres definately a process that has to be followed to make it work for the individual.

 

And that being said, the actual words you use in such case could be anything you like, if you want hail (much better than hello i agree) then thats what you woud record.

 

Best I can do is ease the process by supplying you guys in indepth tut and supplying some of the work intensive stuff pre-made.

 

Thanks for the supportive comments guys. I will make the tut and upload after i have horse calling in there and all the shouts I already have in my game unlocked.

 

for spoilery reasons I wont define what the shouts actually are as that is irrelevent. seeing that the user is who sets the final hotkeys and records the voice theres no need to say what they are here.

What about the some of us who can't whistle? >.>

To recognise your voice you have to record the parts yourself to teach the program what to listen for. so if you cant whistle, whatever you record to replace that will work.

you can give it a name if you really want.. "Bubbles!" would probaby be recognised far better than a whistle anyway ^_^

 

read the posts fellas ;)

I was inspired by this and other threads on making shouts voice-activated commands to try the DVAC program with these two hotkey mods:

 

http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2241

http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2241

 

I had to reduce the duration to 100ms because otherwise it double equipped the spell.

 

Is there a way to train it to distinguish your accent better? Edit: nvm, it's in the previous post.
