Talker/Vocalizer changes post TLS

By Xanaguy

After The Last Stand update, talker scripts have been overhauled which led to custom vocalizer mods being unable to utilize the usual inputs. Because some of them have been abandoned or deprecated. People want to vocalize their favorite voicelines. This guide will explain what has changed.

SI Callouts

The vocalize command used to call out SI manually used to be IPre-TLS) PlayerAlsoWarnHunter, PlayerAlsoWarnSmoker, PlayerAlsoWarnBoomer, and PlayerAlsoWarnTank.

The following vocalization commands can now be used by vocalizer mods (If you do not know how to edit the script, please contact the author if they are still active):

- PlayerWarnHunter
- PlayerWarnSmoker
- PlayerWarnBoomer
- PlayerWarnJockey
- PlayerWarnCharger
- PlayerWarnSpitter
- PlayerWarnTank
- PlayerWarnWitch

"Swear" is issuing the incorrect response

This input: "PlayerAnswerLostCall" has been changed to use "I'm here!" lines instead of swears.

- Please change this to "PlayerNegative" so swear responses will generate.

The L4D2 Survivors won't say "Clear!" with the vocalizer

This is likely because the input used is "PlayerAreaClear" which has not been added for the L4D2 survivors, but remains available for the L4D1 survivors. No plans have been made to add L4D2 variants at this time.

L4D2 Survivors won't say "Hello!"

Just like the previous section, only the L4D1 crew is able to use "PlayerScenarioJoin". There are no plans to extend this to the L4D2 cast at this time.

The survivors aren't saying story related voicelines.

Many of the related Talker rules have been edited to fit the context in vanilla, unfortunately for Vocalizer mods, this makes many of the rules impossible to activate with a vocalizer.

Your best bet is to dive into the talker scripts to determine what can still be used per survivor.

@SteveZee, no this hasn't been fixed and if you look below at the comments from the author they have no plans on fixing it. Just have to put up with playing the game their way.
