Hi Bullet, -- I hope you don't mind if I just call you Bullet for short
Welcome to VoxCommando. A fellow Canadian I see...
What is your OS, and is it 32 or 64bit, and what version of SKYPE, what version of VoxCommando?
I assume you have the Skype plugin enabled in VC options?
I have no problems when running the latest version of Skype on my 32 bit machine, but on my Win7 x64 machine, I have problems connecting to Skype 5 so I use the latest version 4 of Skype and it works perfectly.
If you want to zip up your whole VC folder and send it to me, so I can check that you have configured things correctly.
Your license will entitle you to updates for AT LEAST 6 months. If you decide to upgrade within the first couple months of purchasing I would be happy to accept the difference ($10).
to get a space with dxinput.type you just put a space between words:
dxinput.type hello there
If you are just sending a single character (i.e. for gaming) I recommend you use
DxInput.KeyPress {space}
the DxInput commands are actually doing fairly low level keyboard emulation and there is no such actual key as underscore. So you need to do
DxInput.KeyCombo {shift} {minus}
where {shift} and {minus} are the first and second parameters respectively.
