VAC Update

Postby Shift_E on Wed Apr 12, 2006 2:49 am

Here’s a quick VAC update:

I think I have figured out the coding for the numeric enter key for sending the correct code.

Added the ability to add another key set for the PTD key, both assigned key sets will work for the PTD mode.

Added a new special function sleep/awake, you can add action to put VAC in sleep mode and wake VAC from sleep mode.

Added two functions to the PTA keys, you can assign the keys to modes ‘toggle’ and ‘arm’. In the toggle mode you press the assigned key and the recognized commands will be processed. In the ‘armed’ mode you press the assigned key and the recognized command will be processed, then the mode will turned off until the key is pressed again to re-arm the PTA key.

As soon as the testing and help file is done, I’ll update the web site.

Hi,

Sounds great! Especially the new sleep/wake option.

Why did you implement the toggle/arm mode? (Don´t quite understand what the arm function will do...)

Hi Dutch,

The toggle/arm switch was sugguested in a tread you started http://www.airwarfare.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1185 by Lanser. :D I think it's a pretty good feature.

Hi,

Okay, i guess i didn´t understood it correcly the first time :oops:
Does this mean that using the toggle function for the PTA is the same like turning VAC ON/Off, but without the delay caused by the (de-)activation of the microphone?
This is a nice feature indeed. I can program my Cougar to use this with a press and release function and use a key instead of the middle mouse button.

Regards and keep up the good work!

Hi Shift_E,

Maybe I'm doing something wrong with the "NumPad Enter" setup. I've tried the NumPad enter in BOB2 and IL2 without success. I get a verbal response but no action.

If I change the command to "Enter" it works. My command setup in VAC Builder is - Qualifying Key = None; Extended Key = NumPad Enter.

Let me know if you need additional information.

Thanks,

Hi Mag_Maverick,

Dang it again! It's my fault again. I don't have a game I can test the numeric keypad enter on, all I have is the keyboard tester. Would you be willing to test it for me in your games?

I can send you an update, which I believe I have the keypad enter working correctly on. Send me an email if you wouldn't mind testing the fix out.

Sorry about that,
Shift_E

Hi,

I finally had some time to play around with your latest version.
I wanted to use the Arm and Toggle features for the PTA, but when selecting any of the mouse buttons for PTA, you can choose the arm or toggle modes....
It is possible with any other selected key. Why is this not possible?

Keep up the good work!

Hi Dutch,

The reason I couldn’t allow the mouse buttons in the ‘toggle and arm’ in the PTA features is because they are not keys and I couldn’t detect them in that put of the routine. I’m still working on it though.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply. The Middle mouse button is, at this moment, the only button i can use which doesn´t interfere with anything else, so it would be nice if i could use it with arm and toggle functions

I´m sure you´ll find a way to solve this somewhere in the future.

Regards,
Dutch
