What commands does CASI support?

To drop a bug report, reply here (unless someone wants to make me a sub-thead? ), or drop me a mail at casibymarak@gmail.com, best ways to reach me at the moment(considering spooling up my own forum though).

Please drop me some bug reports - or features, i love features.

Fly safe,
Marak

(Note: Benjamin said i should/can move this here as its related to Starcitizen, and i figure it will get a little more traffic this way).

Update: A big thank you to Triton and Dargoth, who kept me company blowing up a s#%-ton of vanduul and get the final testing in.  CASI is now working great for a Beta release, ill be putting the login system (and some slight changes to the HUD movement system) and everyone should be able to play around with her tomorrow.

Note: I'm going to drop a free fly key for all OPF members for the next week or two at least.

Hey guys, so i thought id take a little break from coding and fill you in on what im working on. 

Many of us use Voice Attack to give our ships commands, which i enjoy, but i wanted to go further than it does.  So i have been working on something... better

Ill try and give you a quick run down of the features that are currently in, and whats planned for the (near) future and the (far) future.  Before we get into any details though, know that i have been speaking to CIG about features i can/cannot/should not put in (while i agree there WILL be software to auto-dump flares, CASI wont) - so dont worry too much about being flagged as a cheat.  Also for a side note i have also been speaking to Benjamin, and got his permission to post about this.

So what is CASI?
CASI is a voice command and control software.  Basically it will take your voice and convert that into ingame commands.

There are two primary systems for this:

• the standard command set will fire any command listed on the keybindings page when you say its name
• the expanded command system, this is where i have built extra functionality into a standard command.  Some of the most popular currently being used by the testers are: Hard Left/Right/Up/Down (basically slide your ship for approx 10 seconds), Multi-Flare/Dump flares (fires 3-4 flares in a row depending on settings), Multi-Lock* (locks 3-4 missiles depending on settings) and Fire Missiles*(fires previously locked missiles).

* this is in relation to what i mentioned earlier, its okay to lock and fire missiles on separate commands, but NOT one command.

HUD System
CASI contains a HUD overlay for starcitizen that currently gives you a visual indicator of what CASI is currently performing, it currently has icons for Hard Left/Right/Up/Down, Flares, Boost(afterburner for x time), Bank (Hits the breaks for x time while you turn, then hits the afterburner for x time).
This will be being expanded later.

The HUD is customisable position wise, so inside CASI you can move the icons around and see them reflected in real time.

Multi-Command System
I wasn't particularly happy with how other software handled multiple commands being run simultaneously, so i ended up writing a new system.  CASI can currently support 10 commands being run at the same time (which is quite a bit when you imagine most commands last less than half a second).  If we need more, ill throw some more in there.

Other Features
Keybinding modification

Features Coming Soon
Command Customisation - during initial testing it was found that hard coded commands were faster, i am currently testing a new system to allow custom commands at the same speed (pretty much got that one done, just need to put it into the main build).

Importing Voice Attack Profiles - this is tied to the above command customisation system, once thats in, i can plug this one back in (it was in, on a much earlier version before we changed how the command system runs)

Voice Artist -  I have some recordings from a voice artist, but at the moment their disabled as the command names were changing a lot and i was sick of re-recording

Things to come (late future)
I have successfully tested a natural speaking system where instead of having to speak a certain command phrase, you can speak a normal sentence, and CASI will figure out what you want her to do.  This system under testing was successfully able to adjust to her mistakes (if you told her that that command was incorrect, you were able to adjust the attempted result to what you want her to specifically do).  This feature is quite a lot of fun to work with, but before i put it in (as it generates a LOT of over head when it comes to bugs etc and requires my full attention), im waiting until all the main bugs are gone first.

Looking good, here!

I've decided I'm getting a new computer this February, so I should be able to play SC on MAXIMUM settings. I'll be sure to get CASI on that one as well.
