  • Voice lines
    Press and hold key for a desired menu, then choose a voice line. All other players will hear what your character is saying.

  • Going idle
    Press and hold the key for Character selection menu and choose IDLE.

  • Character switching

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

What is "limited use"
These voice lines will work only on local servers and dedicated servers where this add-on is installed, and in single player. They CANNOT WORK on official Valve servers!

Miscellaneous menus
Some voice lines in these menus work only for L4D1 and some only for L4D2 characters.

Some voice lines can't always work
For some lines to work, certain conditions have to be met (for example, you must not be in fight). Also, many voice lines are not available in Scavenge and Survival.

When can't go idle
You can't go idle if you are the only player, or if all other players are already idle.

Note on switching characters
After switching characters, you will need to select your new character again to properly mount all of its character-specific menus.

Vocalizer in Versus and Scavenge on official servers
All add-ons are disabled when playing competitive modes on official Valve servers. However, you can follow my guide to make the vocalizer work there.



DEDICATED SERVER INSTALLATION
(for server admins only)

Install the add-on on your server, so players can use all radial menus and all responses:
  1. Download my vocalizer from GameMaps[www.gamemaps.com]
  2. Put the VPK file in \left4dead2\addons
  3. Restart your server


CREDITS

  • Add-on is derived from earlier version of VOX vocalizer
  • Add-on thumbnail image is made by StoneRabbit[garrysmods.org]


NOTICE FOR MODDERS

You can use my vocalizer (in whole or part of it) as a foundation for your own mod. But if you release that mod anywhere, you're required to give me proper credit — write in your mod's description that it's based on ion's Vocalizer (with link to this page).

@DocktorMedic: Removing cooldowns on those lines would allow you to freely spam them, yes. But it would also affect how they work when they automatically and normally happen in the game (when you're being choked, pounced, ridden, pounded etc) - those voice lines would play without any pause. That's why I've decided to leave the cooldowns as they are.

@Aurelíos: Unfortunately no. Those lines are not available for vocalization.
DocktorMedic 1 Aug @ 8:13am 
I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere, but is there some way to reduce or even disable the cooldown on certain lines such as "choke" or "pulled" ones? They seem to work fine in Helrika's vocalizer, but I'd much rather use this one instead. :steamsad:

Can you add the "storm" lines?
ion  [author] 29 Jul @ 2:16pm 
@headassfredo: It does not conflict, both should work fine together.
headassfredo 27 Jul @ 8:28pm 
Anyone know if this conflicts with MANACAT's Active Talker add-on?
Ewgene 14 Jul @ 6:45am 
@Corda: a lot of the lines only work on locally hosted servers or custom servers that have them enabled. It's sad but it's what it is, this is how Valve coded it.
