Chatsounds Revisited

Chatsounds Revisited is an updated and improved version of the original chatsounds add-on.

What this add-on simply does is it plays a sound (from another game) that corresponds with the in-game text message that a player types.
For example, typing “cheese” in-game will play the Half-Life 2 citizen quote, “Sometimes, I dream about cheese”.

This adds a fun, humor, and roleplay factor to the gameplay that works great for most any server; it is especially designed for roleplaying and sandbox servers.

In order for a player to hear a sound, they must have the associated game mounted. This add-on uses sounds from Half-Life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, and Portal.

Clients do not need to subscribe to the add-on, only the server needs to host it and then it should work for all players connected.

To install Chatsounds Revisited to your server, subscribe to the add-on and (if you are running dedicated) add it to the server’s workshop collection.
If you want to add your own custom sounds, you must install it manually from here: https://garrysmods.org/download/62295/chatsounds-revisited
