How do I trouble shoot a Plugin Problem

[Toruk]

I have been running voice attack for a long long time.  I now have a problem with a plugin or plugin compatibility.  I am running HCS Voice Packs for Elite Dangerous Singularity and a plugin named EDDI.  I do not know how to see if there are other plugins running than those two.  When I first load VA, everything works fine.  Then something happens after a little while and it simply stop responding.  The form is frozen.  There is some thread locked causing the problem.

Any help solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help received!

I do not know how to see if there are other plugins running than those twoWhen you start VoiceAttack you should see a "Plugin '' initialized." log entry for each running plugin.

Latest beta also has a simple plugin manager feature you can look at as well (Options > General tab).

16:23:09 - At this point it is finished initializing.  As I suspected, this means that those ARE the only two plugins running.
16:22:42 - Listening resumed

Thanks, I suppose that it will selectively enable/disable plugins.  Then, I can decide to disable EDDI.  Is there a way for me to modify a plugin?  I'd like to isolate the problem.

Thanks,

I see 3 plugins loading.

BindED (which is no longer needed for the HCS stuff)
EDDI
HCS Plugin 2.01 (which is out of date and would need updating by redownloading your pack rerunning the installer for installplugins.exe)

[Toruk]

Now everything is foobar'ed.  VA recognizes the HCS Singularity voice pack, says the command, but nothing happens IE no commands are actually executed.  And I see no way to disable a single plugin, only to disable all plugin support.  And, Elite Dangerous reinstalled itself.   Fortunately, it does not appeared to have wrecked it, only the keybindings I changed or added appear to me missing or not functioning.  What a mess grrrrrr

[Toruk]

Fortunately, I did not overwrite or uninstall the old version which is working properly now. Until it freezes again at least!

I see no way to disable a single plugin, only to disable all plugin support.

As Gary mentioned, the plugin manager feature is only in the beta(from v1.7.0.2 and up), you won't see it if you have the release version(v1.7) or an earlier beta(v1.7.0.1).

[Toruk]

And I DID load the beta.

[Toruk]

V1.7.04 was run and has a lot of problems for me, nor can I find a Plugin Manager in it.   Where as V1.7.0.0 works then freezes after a little while.

[Gary]

You'll want to look on the Options page, General tab.  There's a button below, 'Enable Plugins'.

There's not a lot of difference between 1.7 and 1.7.0.4.  Could you be more specific on what problems you are experiencing?

[Toruk]

That just disables all plugins which Is not what I am looking for.  Either I remove the HCS or EDDI.  I think EDDI is the problem and I cannot describe the problem and better than it works for a while then freezes with no indication of why or on what command it dies on.  The code thread being executed simply becomes hung/frozen.

You'll want to look on the Options page, General tab.  There's a button below, 'Enable Plugins'.

That just disables all plugins which Is not what I am looking for.

Unchecking the "Enable Plugin Support" option would, however the "Plugin Manager" button below it will open a dialog window which allows you to disable individual plugins:
