Ninpan's W.I.P. Talker

A talker mod, what does it do? Well, a lot, a lot a lot.

The biggest thing is more variety in L4D1 objective dialogue. For example, Bill doesn't talk much in Death Toll normally, but with this talker, he'll be able to mention their goal of making it to the river, among other things.

This isn't a problem with L4D2 survivors, so that part is a L4D1 thing.

Among other things, I also aim to give the L4D1 survivors better responses to L4D2 mechanics. Francis will say "Get ready with some fire" when deploying fire bullets. Survivors will also scream at the others to run from Spitter acid, as well as exclaim how much the acid hurts by re purposing vague friendly fire lines (such as "Augh! That hurt!")

I also aim to add a bit extra to conversations when I can, and hope to make at least one custom saferoom convo. Right now the best example of a conversation is- Francis: "For lease, anybody gotta pen? I wanna write this number down." Bill: "No one's gonna be answerin' that phone."

You may have noticed that the second line in the above example is unused (actually it's a community line, but it's so esoteric I've never heard it used anyways), and that's another goal, to restore lines so unused (or just community lines) that even TLS didn't restore them (granted for L4D1 it's mostly just a couple spare Crash Course lines that don't mean much.)

This mod also increases the odds of rare lines playing, since some of them are just, too damn rare. Ones meant to be rare have only been increased a little, but stuff like Francis's "They're coming!" have been cranked up to 80, because...TLS, why the ♥♥♥♥ does that line need to have only a 1% chance of playing, if even??? I've heard it literally only ONCE. EVER.

This mod also reimplements a L4D1 thing, kinda. In L4D1, the survivor's had more varied reactions to a horde scream. That's once again the case with all 8 survivors, not just the original 4, in this mod.

I think that's it, I'll make a full list of changes in a forum discussion below once this is done, because this is very W.I.P.. Bill is the only one truly complete right now.

Oh, and because of the variety in objective dialogue, some custom campaigns might have weird and sudden random lines that make no sense (biggest culprit being Bill telling Francis he can go find a boat on his own in response to him telling him to keep his beard on)

Of course this addon has some stupid little goofy additions too. For example, Bill will sometimes call out a Spitter by saying "M-Mother?" (and by sometimes I mean very rarely, but, like, still you'll see it every once and awhile). Bill will also very rarely say "I'll give you something to cry about, Francis" when jumping off the bridge in the Sacrifice.

Anyways that's it for now, the thumbnail was made specifically to piss off a friend.

DOES NOT (for now[?]) SUPPORT 8 PLAYER

Perfectly compatible with VSCRIPT Talker Addons, such as those from Chimmi
