Hi Coffee,
Great to have you onboard with VAC and good to hear you are enjoying the program.
The VAC Builder was designed to create or edit your profile then close and that’s reason I didn’t add a minimize button. That is also why I split VAC into two programs the builder and the system, I wanted to make the VAC System the smallest and lowest impact on computer resources while it is running.
To keep the price down I didn’t add a flashy graphics laden front-end to the builder, just clean and simple. It makes it easier for me to maintain that way. That also includes the window sizing, I could add resizing abilities to the builder, but that would add to the price and I don’t really want to do that.
Yea, the PTA key has been challenging bit for VAC. Unfortunately when using the PTA key, PTA key and the VAC command is seen as a keyboard combination by the game and the game won’t accept the command. That is why the mouse and keyboard media button work the best as the PTA key. Most games won’t see a mouse button or keyboard media key button press and the VAC command as a key combination. But, then again I would only use the PTA key if I had too, I personally never use it, VAC is pretty good at not being trigger by ambient noises.
I like your idea about hard wiring the microphone, maybe add a PTA switch the microphone wire.
Enjoy,
