The title of this blog post is just a ‘sample’ of the hairpulling ‘fun’ I’ve been going though with this thing (since the issues I had last night). And it seems I will likely have to wait ’till Monday to get the help I need.
Tried to make an account to the Voice Attack forum (since they don’t have a Discord server), and used my ISP’s email. Now the forum wants me to confirm my email address before it’ll allow me to post anything, and I had no fucking idea there’s something wrong with it (with so many Google-related issues going on (Wurm’s two-factor authentication, and Discord going down a few days ago)), it’s safe to blame this thing on Google. 😛
I finally managed to get ahold of the webmail part of my ISP, and it’s down and forever loading (proving there’s an issue).
This is almost similar to an issue I had with this thing last year (where they were blaming it on Thunderbird). But that time it wasn’t down.
Thankfully I have a Frontier forum account, and made a post asking for help in it… it’s been several hours of waiting for a moderator to approve it so it’ll show up. Just not my day, I guess.
I’m pretty much SoL until Monday. God damn business days!

So what’s the problem here? I don’t understand how Voice Packs work (or even why in the fuck they’re ‘required’ to play E:D). Though I did find a video showing the base idea of teaching KICS the keybinds it needs, I have no idea to use another profile to override some of her default settings (for something as fucking simple as setting pips to certain systems).
–
Saying “weapons” makes KICS think I want to deploy my hardpoints, instead of put full pips to WEP. I don’t know how (or even if I need to) edit the default settings to not do this.
Not to mention I’m scared to even touch this coded crap as the sequence, thinking I’ll break the script if I edit it. And there is no documentation (or a Youtube video), to tell me if it’s safe (or not) to do so.
From what I can see, all of these are commands inside of other commands (which are also inside of other commands). It’s just one huge mess that I wish was explained a lot easier (for dumb people like me). There’s just GOT to be something so simple that I’m not seeing (that’s right under my nose)! However, I feel that ‘something’ may not be as easy (especially after reading this…). I pray this isn’t the only way to do what I want to do.
If so, then I just wasted $12. Sadly it’s past the two hour point, so I’m stuck with it.
But, I’ll keep playing with it. Surely there’s a way to get it (and hopefully not feel like I wasted money).
