LC-VEGA

Description

VEGA is a sentient AI from the modern DOOM games that can assist you in many different ways through voice commands. You can ask him to do almost anything, and can even give you info about moons, creatures and a lot more.

Version 3.1.0

• You can now load the mod if you disable VoiceRecognitionAPI, allowing people with Unix / OS X systems to load the mod without any voice commands.
• File size of all audio files has been reduced considerably (from 132 mb total to 41 mb total) thanks to JacuJ.
• The config options Player name colors, Enable VEGA listening automatically and Enable the Advanced Scanner automatically no longer require a restart.
• All config options related to the Advanced Scanner will now apply instantly in-game without the need of a game / lobby restart.
• Added 5 new config options for the Advanced Scanner:
  • Info display mode: Changes how the Advanced Scanner displays information.
  • Horizontal gap: Allows you to modify the horizontal gap between nearby Entities and Items.
  • Vertical gap: Allows you to modify the vertical gap between nearby Entities and Items.
  • Entities text length: Determines how much text fits in a single line in the Entities section of the scanner.
  • Items text length: Determines how much text fits in a single line in the Items section of the scanner.
• The Alignment and the Tilt config options have been split into 2 to allow for better customization.
• The config sections have been moved around a bit.
• Fixed the new Remote Entity Identification feature not working 99% of the time.

Version 3.0.1

• Fixed an issue that caused VEGA to prevent the ship to go back in orbit.
• Fixed an issue that caused errors to pop up when executing voice commands while in the main menu.

Version 3.0.0

Here's a list of all the biggest changes and additions. Smaller ones are listed at the end:

Confidence rework

The Confidence value that was present in all previous versions of the mod has been replaced by 16 new values. Each value represents a different category, where a couple of voice commands are listed in their descriptions, although some voice commands have their own values as well.

Customizable voice commands

You can now change existing phrases and add your own for every voice command present in the mod. This means that you can now change, for example, how you refer to VEGA for every single command, or the number of phrases that can be used to trigger a command.

Different phrases are separated by a '/'.

loaforcsSoundAPI Template

I wanted to give players the ability to replace any audio files they wanted and be able to share their creations online for a while now, so while I was working on this update I thought, why not make a template that uses SoundAPI for everyone to be able to do exactly that?

And so that's what I did.

I made a SoundAPI template that has everything one needs to be able to create a basic audio replacement pack for VEGA. It contains over 20 different JSON replacer files that have all of the audio files listed in them. It also contains the basic folder structure I use with VEGA's audio files, but it does not include the audio files themselves.

This is because I am also releasing all of the original, unedited audio files separately for those who may want or need only the audio files.

Feel free to do whatever you want with both the template and the audio files. You can use them and upload them wherever you want, you can edit them, improve them, anything. Go crazy.

The template is available in LC-VEGA's GitHub repository here. All future versions of the template and audio files will be uploaded there as well.

As a side note, if you've never done a sound pack with SoundAPI before and would like to make some changes, add things, or have no idea how it all works, take a look at these tutorials.

Compatibility with EladsHUD

I know this is something some people were asking for, and I figured it was about time. The Advanced Scanner is now fully compatible with EladsHUD.

Customizable Advanced Scanner

You can now customize the following aspects of the Advanced Scanner:

• Horizontal and vertical position
• Scale
• Tilt
• Alignment
• "Clear" text color
• "Entities nearby" text color
• "Items nearby" text color
• "Data unavailable" text color

For the all of the color related options, you can either choose a color from the predetermined list or add your own color through hex codes.

For the custom colors to work, you must first choose the Custom value in the options you want your colors to be applied to. The order of the hex codes is the same as the order of the config options (Clear, Entities, Items, Data)

Chat messages

VEGA is now capable of sending a chat message when you use the signal translator, teleporter, discombobulator and when you change the focus of the ship's map. You can change the color in which different usernames will appear when VEGA sends a message in the chat by typing in a username followed by ':' and the hex code of the color you want. To add another username, you simply have to add a comma and a space after it, like so:

You can add as many usernames as you want.

Enhanced teleport commands

The teleport commands will now perform a Radar Switch before activating the teleporter to try and avoid teleporting the wrong person.

This is a completely optional feature that can be changed in the config under the Voice Commands section.

Remote Entity Identification

When someone from your crew scans a new entity, VEGA will now be able to tell you which creature it is. You can of course disable this in the config if you want to.

Other changes and additions

• Added corresponding voice lines for the Barber, Kidnapper Fox and Vain Shrouds.

• Added an option to disable the apparatus warnings under the Dialogue & Interactions section.

• Added an option to disable the ReadInput patch under a new section called Patches.

• Vocal Levels Medium and Low have recieved a slight change. Medium will no longer play the new enemy scan voice lines and Low now makes some of VEGA's voice lines shorter.

• VEGA can now activate / deactivate the ship's magnet with the following commands:

  • VEGA, activate magnet / enable magnet / turn on magnet
  • VEGA, deactivate magnet / disable magnet / turn off magnet

• The way VEGA disables landmines and spike traps is now the same as turrets. You no longer need to be close to them, and only visible mines and traps will be taken into account.

Fixes
