A heavily modified TLS Talker Script File, made to be lore-friendly and fit into "Vanilla+". I've been working on this for on and off 3 years now.


A talker is a script file that controls what survivors can say.


-Restored a bunch of cut lines

-New "Custom" Lines (E.g. Coach will yell "This used be be a nice neighbourhood!" When picking up a Chrome Shotgun or Chainsaw and Zoey can say "Yoink!" when picking up any item.)

-New "Swear", "No", "Yes", "Run!" and other radial menu lines

-New "No" and "Laugh" lines when looking at a specific character "Tell me this boy ain't for real!"

-Lines that were previously rare now have a slightly higher chance of playing.

-New Character specific Watch Out! Lines (E.g: When playing as Coach and a zombie is behind Ellis Coach now has a chance to yell out Ellis's name instead of always using "LOOK OUT!")

-When staring at a bot survivor in the saferoom they will sometimes say a funni line, rather than "Ready?"

-Added lines that were removed in The Last Stand update. Most notably "Jesus Christ, Ellis, like the g*ddamn zombies aren't bad enough!"

-Jockey'ed on lines have been completely overhauled.

-Added HurrahAlso to L4D2 survivors

-Added tons of new HurrahAlso's to the L4D1 gang

-Made HurrahAlso play even if the survivor is a human player. (To make sure its not constant and annoying HurrahAlso will only have a 50% Chance to play.)

-Jockey Reaction lines will now play during the initial line, instead of after (Gone are the days of Rochelle yelling "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, that thing's riding him!" a solid 10 secs after the jockey was killed)

-After revisiting L4D1 I was curious and found a few changes in the Talker when they moved L4D1 into L4D2 Most notably - Friendly Fire lines that are just the loud name calling lines, so I've put those back in as well as adding them for the L4D2 gang. "FRAAAAANCISSSSSS!"

-Removed some TransitionClose lines. (Ones that were too upbeat for a survivor dying.) Idea taken from THIS mod.

-Integrated LostCall lines into trapped in closet lines. (A feature that was in L4D1's Talker.)

-HurrahAlso added onto player transitions, making it more inclusive rather then just one person celebrating. (NOTE: Some lines might be cut off if both lines are long ones, I'll be monitoring this closely and fixing it accordingly.)

-Added Sole Survivor transition lines for ALL survivors. Before Nick and Coach only had 1 line each for this and Imma be honest, were WAY too laid back for someone knowing they are F$CKED.

-New Witch Cr0wn3d Lines for all survivors

-Shuffled up the Dead Center SI lines so its more confusing, perfect for how the survivors feel when seeing these horrors for the first time. (E.g: Rochelle will use her "HOLY SH*T WHATS THAT?!" for seeing the Charger, Smoker and Spitter.)

-Shuffled up all of the Grabbed by SI lines to play with other Grabbed by SI lines. (e.g. Coach's tank pound line "GET IT OFF - GAH DAMN - GET IT OFF ME!" will now play as a pounced by hunter line as well.)

-Ellis will say his Dead Center SI call outs normally. (Its in character) "HUMPER!"

-Added lines for killing the Witch while she is aggro (Mostly "That was close!" lines)

-Added new reloading intense lines for both sets of survivors, think THIS mod but not overwriting any previous lines

-Restored cut Back Up Quiet Lines. Plays in "Witchville" (Hard Rain Chapter 2, the area with a bunch of Witches.)

-Made Nick a bit more mean when you melee him. Restored the classic "WHAT THE-" Friendly Fire line that was taken out in the TLS update.

-Added Tank Specific Molotov Throw Lines.

-Added LeavingSafeArea & LeavingSafeRoom lines

-Added PlayerTransitions for c1m1_hotel instead of dead silence (Mostly "That was close" lines with some story ones sprinkled in.)

-Added "IsNotIncap'd" to tons of responses (Kill confirmations, nice shot lines, hearing SI, etc...)

-Overhauled Friendly fire melee lines and made a few changes to Bullet Friendly Fire Lines (for example: Before Ellis had 3 Melee FF lines, now he has 16.)

-L4D1 Survivors now use player specific lines for Melee Friendly fire, meaning if you smack Francis over the head will a guitar while playing as Bill he can say "You havin' some kinda flashback old man?!" instead of always using a generic one

-Added lines to L4D1 Survivors reacting to L4D2 things (Picking up a Bile jar, reaction to someone getting jockey'ed)

-New SI Kill Melee lines

-Added specific rare GoingToDie die lines for Nick on The Passing Map 1 & 2 "Curse you Jimmy Gibbs!"

-Added better, more realistic reaction lines for shooting and reacting to someone shooting a car "Have you lost your MIND?!"

-Added a few Easter eggs. (Louis calling Bill a boomer, Ellis not knowing what twitter is.)

-Many more changes. Too much to list (Edit: This line is no longer a joke, I've legit hit the steam character limit!)

Inspiration and some Ideas for lines taken from Rise's 8 Player Modified Talker and Helrika's Vocalizer so big thanks to them.

Also big thanks to Xanaguy for making the TLS Talker!
