Now Norton AntiVirus believes it to be a malicious script (every two seconds, or so , when it scans again for a WAP).
Also, I have AT&T Natural Voices 1.4 installed (which was using "Crystal's" voice quite nicely). Now it uses "Mike's" voice and over-rides the default settings.

On the positive side, it does add '...is closed' and '...is open' to the end of each announcement

Doooh! Sorry!

Works fine on mine...

I haven't tried with 2004, only 2002 but not sure why it wouldn't open it. I didn't change anything there! Did you set 'UseMappoint = True' ??
I guess the NAV problem is with the script reading the zoomcontrol.txt file (and potentially writing to it), not much I can do about that...stop NAV while you're stumbling, maybe? You did create a zoomcontrol.txt file in the NetStumbler folder, didn't you?
and you can change the voice by changing this line - Set TTS.voice = TTS.getvoices().item(0) ' 20040429a
Change the number in the brackets, 0 is the lady

I tested it last night with a quick spin through Madrid...can you tell where I went?

Map
Closer

It's not perfect but it's good fun!

I'm not sure that all the ap's get plotted on the map. I wrote a quick VB proggy that opens NetStumbler & MapPoint on the same screen, NetStumbler across the top and a MapPoint map underneath it, with zoom control buttons, simple but works ok.

So now you can ...
Use it without MapPoint
Turn off signal strength sounds
Change the voice
Add open & closed on to the end of AP name
Should keep you on the map (re-centre)
And, by using zoomcontrol.txt file, will let you zoom in & out

Fantastic. If I get a wild hair to make anymore changes, I'll update this one.

You can also comment this lineout by using a ' in the front of it, and it will not override the system default voice. Hmmm. Maybe someone should add a switch to this script to set a voice.

Ok. Switch is "OverrideDefaultVoice". Here's the new version.

By the way, thanks Laidback, for combining them all.

Enjoy,

Ted

EDIT: Cannot leave well enough alone. Added VoiceNum as the number of the voice you want to use, and if you override the default voice, it will speak the name of the voice you are using.

Ok, I just highlighted where the user configurable switches are in the script with
********* User Switches ***********

Added a place to enter your starting location,
made it so MapPoint will start up without the GPS running
and will zoom to your starting location if set so.

Changes to Voice stuff. If VoiceNum = Empty, the default voice will used. Modified the hello world message to be the name of the voice used. Reorganized the user changeable switches/variables a little and changed all mappoint stuff to not be checked unless UseMAppoint = True.

Someone tell me if it still works with mappoint

Is there a way to have the script open the same map each time??

washu · 05-05-2004

my perl scripts are in final testing. they perform all the functions currently by the ns04mappoint.txt plus can run via command line to import a summary into your map, and has an autosave/reload map feature

You can open the map you want to use first...

washu · 05-06-2004

Here it is, you need to install activestate perl to use the module. ::NOTE:: the install feature has not been tested well, use at your own risk. otherwise simply type the name of the script at a cmd prompt after you install perl for a simple help, or opent he script and have a look.. enjoy

Madhadder · 05-06-2004

Schweeeeetttttt........

It's going with me this weekend, for a test run...

washu · 05-07-2004

Attached is a new version of the zipfile, with some bug fixes, mostly for autosaving file, and a problem where not all AP getting pushpins, and cmdline enhancements

Make sure you edit the PerlStumbler.pl script to suit your paths

Just an observation -- it appears that this is much "easier" to get up and running (the voice/mp script) in XP than win2k.

I have speech and text on, but this script fails consistently at line 37 (char 2) which happens to be the DIMM TTF create basic object point (bssid, newssid). With this failure, the script won't do too much.

Anyone got any insight into this script on a win2k box?

Madhadder · 05-08-2004

Here's an Idea for all you script programmers out there..

Add ver. numbers to the files you post here so people know which ver.
is the newest.

You can even create a "Sticky" post that you can update with the new
version (Edit Message/Replace .ZIP) instead of multiple postings..
