Never get "Plugin EDDI 3.4.2 initialized" in VA Startup

[incryptx]

V3.5.2

First Question: I have EDDI running successfully and it gives me information in the game as well as responds to questions. I have EDDI configured correctly and in VA's "Enable Plugins", I see the EDDI plugin with a version number "EDDI 3.5.2 (v4EDDIVoiceAttackResponder.dll) with a check mark in the box.

But one thing I never see, according to your install instructions, is when VA starts up, I never get the "Plugin EDDI 3.4.1 initialized" dialog in VA's screen.

Now, I don't have VA installed at the default location, i.e. in "Program Files(x86)\VoiceAttack" as I use the Steam Version.

I have it installed at "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\VoiceAttack" with EDDI installed at "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\VoiceAttack\Apps\EDDI"

I get no errors, EDDI seems to run fine from there, but I don't get the "Plugin EDDI 3.4.2 initialized" dialog in VA startup, but I also get no errors in VA startup.

Second question: Do I need to "import" into VA as a profile, the EDDI.vap file, or is it sufficient to just enable the plugin for EDDI in VA's plugin manager?

Odd, I see

Plugin 'EDDI 3.5.3-b1' initialized.
The EDDI plugin is fully operational.

The log file seems to show EDDI is running just fine.

Note that "Plugin 'EDDI 3.5.3-b1' initialized." is written by VoiceAttack while "The EDDI plugin is fully operational." is written by the EDDI plugin.

Loading EDDI.vap is not required for interacting with the plugin but it is recommended since it includes example plugin commands which are designed to help you interact with EDDI in VoiceAttack. What I like to do is to add EDDI.vap as a reference / child profile for whatever my primary profile is.

I'm not clear on what your saying?

Where in the log does it refer to "EDDI 3.5.3-b1 initialized"?

I see in the logs references to EDDI 3.5.2

I agree EDDI is fully operational, but the install instructions state if it is done properly, I should see the "Plugin EDDI 3.4.2 initialized" dialog as VA starts up. I don't see this at all.

My EDDI plugin version is 3.5.2 and seems to be the EDDI version, not the one written by VA?

Am I missing the EDDI version of the plugin?

You should see

Plugin 'EDDI 3.5.2' initialized.
The EDDI plugin is fully operational.

in the VoiceAttack event log (I see "EDDI 3.5.3-b1 initialized" on my development build). You might need to scroll the VoiceAttack event log a bit to get past the HCS text?

This is all I see in my VA window. There is plenty of space in the window to display all dialog.

I don't get any of this: Plugin 'EDDI 3.5.2' initialized. The EDDI plugin is fully operational

Where is the VoiceAttack event log?

Got it. I had to unckeck "enable log quiet mode" in VA Settings.

Now I get:

Does this create a VA log file somewhere. That would be helpful in the future.

Close this, not a bug. Sorry.

I don't believe that the event log is automatically recorded outside of the play session but I could be wrong.
