🔨 Building

Note

Building this plugin requires 64-bit Windows and the MSVC toolchain

• Due to reliance on the Windows SDK and the need for ABI compatibility with Rocket League

1. Initialize Submodules

Run ./scripts/init-submodules.bat after cloning the repo to initialize the submodules optimally.

🔍 Why this instead of git submodule update --init ?

Uses a specific version of the asio library (1.18.2) required for compatibility with websocketpp

Avoids downloading 200MB of history for the nlohmann/json library

Ensures Git can detect updates for the other submodules

2. Build with CMake

Note

If not using the CMake Tools extension in VS Code, you probably need to run this script before configuring/building with cmake, which will set the proper environment variables:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat

1. Install CMake and Ninja (or another build system if you prefer)
2. Run this to configure:

   cmake --preset stt-off
   

   • Use stt-on for the STT version
3. Run this to build:

   cmake --build --preset build
   

   • Use build-stt for the STT version

The built binaries will be in ./plugins

Tip

Create your own presets in a CMakeUserPresets.json to set up custom builds

3. Bundle the Python Script

This project includes speech-to-text-server.pyw which is a Python server that must be converted into an executable.

Instructions:

• Use PyInstaller (or the GUI wrapper auto-py-to-exe) with these command-line arguments:

  pyinstaller ./speech_to_text_server/speech-to-text-server.pyw --noconfirm --onedir --console --name "SpeechToText"
  

• Place the resulting SpeechToText folder here:

  bakkesmod/data/CustomQuickchat/SpeechToText
  

  (You can create the CustomQuickchat folder if it doesn't already exist)
