MapPoint plus speech for NetStumbler 0.4 - Page 11

krgottschall · 07-11-2004

I have a Garmin GPS, Netstumbler 0.4, MS Streets & Trips 2002 and your script. I don't have Mappoint. Based on some text I saw while installing Streets & Trips, I think it may have some of the same core code as Mappoint I know S&T supports a GPS. I gather from what I read here that Mappoint has a menu option that lets you load the script but I can't find that option in Streets & Trips. Is there a way to load the script into Streets & Trips? If so, will it work with S&T? One last thing, the script I downloaded has a .TXT extension. Does that need to be changed to .SCR or .VBS or somthing else? I know almost nothing about scripts, can you tell? Thanks for any help you can provide on this.

The script "gets loaded" into NetStumbler. No it will not work with S&T! It gets loaded as .txt (as was said somewhere in this topic).

I figured out how to have the speech off and it still give you the ding when you find a new network:

Code:

    If UseSpeech Then     '20040511 (If speech = true then the following)
        If (New_SSIDs.Count > 0) Then     '20040511
            Dim n, a
            n = New_SSIDs.Count
            a = New_SSIDs.Keys
            For i = 0 To n - 1
                TTS.Speak a(i), SVSFlagsAsync
            Next
            New_SSIDs.RemoveAll
            End If
     ElseIf UseAudio Then  'If Speech = false then if audio = true do following
            If FoundNew > 0 Then
                PlaySound "ns-aos-new.WAV"
            ElseIf LostContact = 5.5 Then
                PlaySound "ns-los.WAV"
            ElseIf SeenBefore > 0 Then
                If UseSignalStr Then     '20040426
                    ' Still seeing some
                    If BestSNR >= 60 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-6.WAV"
                    ElseIf BestSNR >= 50 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-5.WAV"
                    ElseIf BestSNR >= 40 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-4.WAV"
                    ElseIf BestSNR >= 30 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-3.WAV"
                    ElseIf BestSNR >= 20 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-2.WAV"
                    ElseIf BestSNR >= 10 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-1.WAV"
                    Else
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-0.WAV"
                    End If
                End If     '20040426
            Else
            ' Nothing seen
    '       PlaySound "ns-tick.WAV"
            End If
        'End If     '20040511
    End If
End Sub

I more or less moved the if statment to see if you want speech. If you dont want speech, then it will check to see if you want audio.

Original from 0024:

Code:

If UseSpeech Then     '20040511 
        If (New_SSIDs.Count > 0) Then     '20040511
            Dim n, a
            n = New_SSIDs.Count
            a = New_SSIDs.Keys
            For i = 0 To n - 1
                TTS.Speak a(i), SVSFlagsAsync
            Next
            New_SSIDs.RemoveAll
        ElseIf UseAudio Then
            If FoundNew > 0 Then
                PlaySound "ns-aos-new.WAV"
            ElseIf LostContact > 0 Then
                PlaySound "ns-los.WAV"
            ElseIf SeenBefore > 0 Then
                If UseSignalStr Then     '20040426
                    ' Still seeing some
                    If BestSNR >= 60 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-6.WAV"
                    ElseIf BestSNR >= 50 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-5.WAV"
                    ElseIf BestSNR >= 40 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-4.WAV"
                    ElseIf BestSNR >= 30 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-3.WAV"
                    ElseIf BestSNR >= 20 Then
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-2.WAV"

                    Else
                        PlaySound "ns-signal-0.WAV"
                    End If

    End If

Could you tell me how you've done that?
When I go into the CP, Windows just offers me the Sam Voice.
And there is no other Voice in the Dropdownmenu to choose.

I downloaded the Mike and Mary voices (http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...Sp5TTIntXP.exe) from http://www.microsoft.com/speech/download/sdk51/ but have no clue what to do with the extracted .msm File.

Currently I'm trying to get the german voice output working (still downloading

)

Ok, German Sound Output works fine.
But the voice sounds a little bit rough.. A smotter woman voice would be nice.

MfG Khark

helio · 07-13-2004

I don't recall anything about any .msm files; all I did was install the SDK and the extra voices were there in the CP after that. Did nothing special. If someone has found some other female voices (I'd like a Brit or maybe Brazilian accent, please

), plz post linx....

radioguy · 07-13-2004

One thing I'd like added to the script is the voice announcing any change in the GPS working. If it does down, say "GPS down" and when it is working announce "GPS up". Since I ride my bike through our neighborhood with the laptop in a backpack I can't check its status. Otherwise the script works great!
Thanks.

Hi peeps... quite new to this

trying to get stuff onto map..

but i'm running microsoft autoroute 2004 europe

anyone know how to get it working in ar?

Madhadder · 07-14-2004

You Can't... The scripts only support Mappoint 2002/2004 US/EU versions
as it's the only Mapping SW to have a system of automation/scripting.

AR doesn't, which is why MP costs $400+ and AR is $50

I don't think it is possible. But then again this is the MapPoint script topic.

daedalus04 · 07-14-2004

Just wanted to say "thanks". The script works great for me with the following setup:

NS 0.4(Duh!), MP2K4, XP Pro, Proxim 8470-WD (802.11b/g), Delorme Earthmate USB, Breezecom 8dbi Omni, Dell Latitude D800.

oh well.... i'll raid the MS select cd's at work tomorow and see if we have a copy

mrn121 · 07-15-2004

I have done some searching on this, and I am reasonably sure that you can't do it, but I wanted to ask here before I gave up entirely...

Is there any way to make the script start from the command line, like if I ran stumbler.exe -script or something? A lot of times I want to just run netstubler without my gps just to find local open networks. Other time, of course, I want to go driving.

Any ideas? How do the rest of you deal with this? Right now, everytime I open up stumbler I have to wait for freaking mappoint to open.

Just want to also state that this is a very helpful script. Works great on my Setup: Win2k, Map2k4, Garmin E-trex, Senao 2511-Ext2, and one of those cheapy 5dbi wire omnis.

I was suprised at how many people in my area had AP's. I live in a fairly economically depressed area, and it was just suprising to find 15 Ap's in my subdivison.

Yep home networking is right up there with food and clothing.

I've not seen command line support in Netstumbler (I may be wrong!) One way to do it would be to rem out this line in the script -
'Set MapPointApp = CreateObject("MapPoint.Application")
- by putting the ' in front of it and then creating a batch file with something like this inside -
Start D:\"Program Files\Microsoft MapPoint Europe"\MapPoint.exe
Start D:\"Program Files\Network Stumbler"\NetStumbler.exe
- that opens Mappoint first, then opens NetStumbler. (Note where the quotes are for WinXP!!)

Run the batch file when you want MapPoint to start or just run NetStumbler if not
