Hey Rats! Chasenuva1 here with his RatSqueakVoice RatSqueak pack for Voice Attack!
Let's see.... how to start this....
---"Describe when someone would need this information. For example "when connecting to wi-fi for the first time"."
Ok, uhmmm.... "when you're lazy and want to TALK to dispatch"? XD
In all seriousness though, this is AMAZING for Ratting in VR.

0. If you are updating from a previous version, delete the old pack and commands from voice attack. If you combined the old version with HCS or other packs, simply delete any command with a group name beginning with 'RatSqueak'.
- Download RatSqueak_v2.0.1.vap available below.
- If you do not have Voice Attack installed, please install and set it up. Please note: to import profiles, you will need the full version. https://voiceattack.com/
- Start Voice Attack in Administrator Mode.
Click 'Import Profile'. (it might be under a funny looking icon with an 'X' a '+' a 'raising left arrow' and a 'right arrow with no tail')
Navigate to your downloads directory and select 'RatSqueak_v2.vap'.
- Click the Edit Profile button. (right between the profile selector and funny import button)
- If you wish to use these commands with an HCS voice pack, right-click each command in the profile and choose 'copy to...' -> {the pack you want to use}.
- For the commands that give a 'already contains a command called...' warning, DO NOT copy them over. I have named the keybind commands the same as HCS for ease of integration. Just select 'No' and try copying the next command in the list.
- Please note: if you are using HCS, you must SKIP THIS STEP! In the 'Key Mappings' group, you will need to edit each command and set each contained 'Press {X} key and hold for..' command to reflect your key map settings in Elite.
- I am working on an auto-import keybinds feature, but it's taking a while. I wanted to get the base pack out to you guys earlier. :)
- I have included a way for you to specify specific titles for the windows you will be switching between. The default settings work great, but if for whatever reason you need to change where you get or put information, just edit the ((swapto...)) commands.
- Make sure your #fuelrats IRC window will always be available. (in a window by itself, not in a tab that might be hidden) the pack searches your active windows for a title containing '#fuelrats' by default.
- If you want to use the dispatch board import feature, you'll need to do the same with the dispatch board. the board search looks for a title containing 'Fuel Rats - Dispatch Board' by default.
- Read the How to Use section and try it out on your next rescue!

I have included basic macros for the standard debrief topics. Be sure you are ready to start typing in the chatbox before issuing these commands.
Please do not just use these without context. The Human element of the Fuel Rats must be preserved - type or talk to the client, and use these macros like slides in a slide-show.
