Problems making Game Commander 2 work...

[Henners91]

Hey guys,

I've been trying to get back into BC... I got it when it came out years ago but never finished it; I wanted the immersion of voice control and never got it to work... But anyhoo, I've got Game Commander 2 and I really want to use it with BC, I've been following the instructions below:

"Enclosed is the custom Game Commander 2 profile for Star Trek: Bridge Commander.

To enable Voice Activated Technology, Place this profile in the "Profiles\My Profile" directory within the Game Commander 2 program directory. 

Example: C:\Program Files\Game Commander 2\Profiles\My Profile\

Then, select Bridge Commander from the list of custom game profiles (under My Profile), enable Audible Feedback, and launch Star Trek: Bridge Commander with Game Commander 2 (v2.1.001) running in the background.

A patch for Game Commander 2 is located at:

Make sure your microphone is properly connected.  See instructions included with Game Commander 2 for more information on configuring and operating the Game Commander 2 software, or to learn how to modify this profile or make your own.

Enjoy!"


I have no idea what it means when it says "Then, select Bridge Commander from the list of custom game profiles (under My Profile)"; maybe I am just stupid but it seems entirely out of context; I have no idea what to do... all I know is that when it says "my profile" and I speak; it says not recognised... any help? I am reluctant to play the game if only half of it is with the awesome immersion of using my voice to command my crew :-/

From what I read in your post, the "profile" file that you put under the MyProfiles (the one for Bridge Commander) can be launched/executed.

Do so, leave it running, and then start Bridge Commander. And that implies that if you do it in this order you will enable voice command in BC.

How do I launch it? I've tried just running it with it turned on... I wasn't aware of any way to launch?

[MLeo]

There probably is (in Game Commander 2) some sort of launch button, try it with the Bridge Commander profile, before actually running BC.

I don't understand what you mean I'm afraid >.<

ok after you installed GC2 and BC's profile did you run GC2's exe... ??

did any window pop up after doing that?

[Henners91]
