and this shoot, what is it?
edit:
if i read this correctly, you say the phrase, and then the stuff is executed? what about saying "comm fighters" "comm wings" to see lists of stuff? when wings die, it get's kinda hard to remember who is what number. and you command more then 3 wings, IIRC.
For the sake of simplicity, I made them just
[number] wing [do blah]
Where blah is like attack target or whatever.
Here's Shoot, basically the xml just defines what phrases does what, for example for the phrase "Target" it does a keyboard T, and you can program it to do repetitions, sequences, etc.
So what I did for example for, first wing attack target, this would execute. c211
I decided not to use the naming conventions of wings alpha, beta, gamma etc. because they change randomly and aren't in any order. I also decided not to have individual wingman control i.e alpha 2, alpha 3 controls because I never really needed it, but if you do you can easily add them in.
The way I do it, is first wing is the leftmost squad (usually your own, Alpha) then second wing is to the right of that etc, third wing to the right of that etc. Of course you can just open up the xml and change it to whatever you want.
The best thing about Shoot is that it's free, and with it I now have a complete hotas setup for freespace i.e I never have to touch the kb in an entire mission. (My cyborg 3d already has throttle, roll, pitch/yaw.
http://clans.gameclubcentral.com/shoot/*site is down for some reason.
If you already have microsoft speech recognition engine then the download is only ~200kb.
This really upped the immersion for me, just to be able to say first wing protect target and have them respond is awesome.
