@Blue Onion,
The voice lines work for all official campaigns, they should actually work also for workshop ones too as long as those campaigns don't replace the voices themself (what's very rare).
Onion 4 Jan @ 11:37am 
I had a quick question since I'm excited to see this mod in action: Will the voice lines work in campaigns like The Passing? Just curious

I think I'm gonna call it quits for now I'm done messing with it today. Thanks for your help though.

If just one voice works ingame i recommend a file integrity check for your lfd2 files.
Just to make everything standard again.
The folder structure is the same for all 8 survivors, that's why i recommend to make a temporary folder somewhere and put the exports from gcfscape into these.
So you copy multiple left4dead2_dlc1 and so on folders into the same temporary folder.
When finished you can copy the 4 folders (left4dead2, left4dead2_dlc1-3) directly into your l4d2 main folder and overwrite. (It should overwrite ~ 21.000 files).

I don't know how I did it, but Ruby's voice works now. The others are still not working though.
Serious  [author] 13 Jul, 2022 @ 1:21pm 
@Sinful,
Did you try to open multiple files at once?
Maybe copy the vpk files somwhere else e.g. desktop. Maybe it's a permission issue.
Sinful 13 Jul, 2022 @ 12:57pm 
When I try to open the files with GCF it says "Failed to create file mapping object for file.
The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid."

Please help.

I reworked the install instructions and changed their location to the collection page.
As it is the same process for all characters i think it's a better place for them.
Thanks for the comments and feedback :Olaf_Emoticon:

@Serious many thanks, I appreciate you taking the time friend. Im still learning about these things
:steamhappy:
Serious  [author] 11 Apr, 2021 @ 4:21am 
@HalfLifeTony
in short... no.

The survivors have different amount and name of voice files. Some of them like hello01 are equal in name for all, but man of them are different (for example reaction files when yang get attacked... yang has no voicefile about "yang beeing attacked").
-> if you use the "wrong" voice replace it will result in some files which might work, some are only present but unused from the workshop item and other original won't be replaced and still be active in game.

There is the option to rename and replace them manually or with programms like audacity but thats many hours of work.

Hi, I moreso have a question about voice packs in general. Can I use this for another survivor other than rochelle or is it only designated for rochelle?
Serious  [author] 16 Jan, 2021 @ 7:08pm 
VPK is the standard valve download archive.
In general it would be processed through steam or the game, but with gcf scape you are able to open it manually.
You get the vpk from l4d2 in this folder
...:\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons\workshop
But first you need to fully download the workshopitem and start l4d2 once and wait till its copied.

Whats a VPK? and how do i get to it
Serious  [author] 16 Oct, 2020 @ 2:16am 
Just download the .exe or the zip whatever you prefer
https://gamebanana.com/tools/download/26
Then open the vpk with gcfscape -> right click -> extract
TheColdWhiteRose 16 Oct, 2020 @ 2:05am 
i was looking at the instructions and im confused, i go into Nemesis, still down, i go into gamebanana and idk what im looking for, im really confused
mutepin 12 Oct, 2020 @ 11:10am 
okay thank you kind sir
Serious  [author] 7 Oct, 2020 @ 8:41am 
I found the responsible files and i will update the vpk after checking on another pc today or tomorrow.
The changed files are: left4dead2_dlc3\sound\player\survivor\voice\biker
• reactiondisgusted03.wav ... this file was no part of my vpk, but it's now part of the official
• taunt.wav ... this file was only in my vpk now.
• reactionstartled03.wav .... this is bugged.

If you want to fix it before my update you can do the following:
• Copy any file from the same folder from ren e.g. reactionboomervomit05.wav and rename it to reactiondisgusted03.wav
• delete the file taunt.wav (only this file not taunt01.wav - taunt10.wav)
• delete the file reactionstartled03.wav from rens folder, copy e.g. reactionpositive11.wav and rename it to reactionstartled03.wav
mutepin 7 Oct, 2020 @ 7:09am 
okay thanks will do
Serious  [author] 7 Oct, 2020 @ 4:31am 
I completely reinstalled the game as i hear some bugged voice lines (pitched, slowmo).
I'm currently checking which files are changed.
So far TEAM RWBY is working without issue, installation and ingame.
Jaune and Phyrra also working. Nora and Ren seem to have at least one file changed.

As temporary solution i recommend to only copy/install the voicereplace for TEAM RWBY.
mutepin 6 Oct, 2020 @ 7:13pm 
currently running well with the orig files
mutepin 6 Oct, 2020 @ 2:23am 
thank you for the response, yes ill try to do the orig files and update you
Serious  [author] 5 Oct, 2020 @ 11:18am 
Even with the original files?
Change back to the original files and then type the snd_rebuildaudiocache command again. If its crashing its no mod issue.
Anyway it seems like they have changed some of the audiofiles changed by this and other mods so i have to check whats exactly changed and will update the mods asap
mutepin 5 Oct, 2020 @ 10:34am 
crashes*
mutepin 5 Oct, 2020 @ 10:34am 
whenever i do snd_rebuildaudiocache
it just exits the game
Serious  [author] 28 Sep, 2020 @ 12:53pm 
if you subscripe to the item, wait for the download and start your game aftewards the vpk should be in your workshop folder.
It's a client-side only mod. As far as i know, it doesn't matter which mods the server you are playing on has active.
Moldy Vanilla 28 Sep, 2020 @ 12:48pm 
Can't download vpk file, he said "You don't have permission to access / on this server." where can found the file?
Serious  [author] 25 Sep, 2020 @ 7:23pm 
Which step is it your have problems with?
As far as i know it's unfortunately imposible to automize these mods as they change files in multiple main folders.
Kyachii 25 Sep, 2020 @ 10:41am 
Oh dear, this would be a lot easier if somebody was here telling me what to do and when, following instructions like this isnt my good part, i cant find L4D2 in my steamapps>common file. However I did find a file with a lot of other files that were just numbers so.. its all under workshop
Serious  [author] 11 Dec, 2019 @ 4:30pm 
These are only audio files. No subtitle/font or other files are replaced.
So far i didn't check subtitle files and how much work it is to change them.
Vanilla 11 Dec, 2019 @ 3:40pm 
can this also change subtitles?
if not, how can you change in-game subtitles?
i would like to try
Serious  [author] 4 Dec, 2019 @ 6:59pm 
Zoey is already replaced by Nora.
So far i have no plans to make an additional Zoey-Ruby Replace. As it is much work, and its not fitting with the Character replaces ("Team JNPR for the old Survivors").
The Combine Assassin 4 Dec, 2019 @ 5:21pm 
If I may ask I was wondering if their will be a changer to change zoey's voice to ruby?
Serious  [author] 12 Nov, 2019 @ 11:36am 
Sry for the late reply.
Just start gcfscape.
File -> open ("the VPK of this Voice Replace 1322164873 in the folder ...:\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons\workshop").
When open it should look like:
root
+ Left4Dead2_.... e.g.

Right click on root -> extract to a place you want.
After extracting go to the extractet files and copy them to your l4d2 main folder.
If you install all of the voice replaces, it's more easy to extract all of the VPK before the copy.
OJ Shrimpson 10 Nov, 2019 @ 3:23am 
Hey sorry, but how do I extract the VPKs, Its a lil confusing with GCFScape
Serious  [author] 30 Oct, 2019 @ 3:08am 
Right.
After subscribe you have to check the folder ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons\workshop
Here you will find all your downloaded workshop items (VPK's).
"Maybe you have to start you game once so its for sure in this folder"
But as this is no map or weapons skin or whatever the official tool is made for, you need a programm to unpack it. This is what GCFScape is for.
Extract it with GCFScape and copy the the folders into your main l4d2 folder and overwrite the original files.
Period collector 30 Oct, 2019 @ 12:27am 
You haven't read the instructions then. READ THEM.

1 - This addon is not installed by just subscribe.

2 - you have to extract the downloaded vpk 1322164873 with a program like GCFScape
http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/?p=26

Follow instructions from there, and it should work

I have just subscribed the group of mods but it can't work.I donot know how to download the document and use it to replace the original voice.
Serious  [author] 28 Oct, 2019 @ 5:22am 
Hi. Where do you have issues? At which step of the description?
Period collector 28 Oct, 2019 @ 1:52am 
What's your issue? Can you describe what's happening?
网友初顺音 28 Oct, 2019 @ 12:04am 
How can i let it work?
Serious  [author] 4 Oct, 2019 @ 4:24pm 
I'm not sure if you need net framework for this.
But net framework is a windows program you need for many application and runtimes.
It's 100% Safe if you download it directly from Windows homepage.
Period collector 2 Oct, 2019 @ 4:01am 
Yeah, looks like a dumb question - I'm not good with technical stuff, but I think I can pull this off. I have managed things like installing Windows 10 and Ubuntu installation processes :P
Period collector 2 Oct, 2019 @ 3:58am 
Will I need the .NET framework that is mentioned under the GCFscape program?
Serious  [author] 2 Jan, 2019 @ 7:46am 
It should be... i don't think there are new voicefiles added the last months.
The DLC Voice Files are also replaced, e.g. "the sacrifice" campaign related voiceclips.
💮It's Vinnie Bae💮 2 Jan, 2019 @ 3:34am 
Does this replace every voice sound file of Rochelle?
Serious  [author] 8 Oct, 2018 @ 9:13am 
After the download of the workshop itmes you have to start l4d2 once. During this process the temp files from the workshop are copied to the l4d2 folder.
After this found the vpk.files in Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons\workshop
HIS HOLY CRUSADER 8 Oct, 2018 @ 1:19am 
cant find the files. oof
Serious  [author] 24 Sep, 2018 @ 2:57pm 
Check if you have the folder from step 3. And then just copy them into your prime directory from L4D2. If it doesn't ask you if you want to overwrite some files you've done sth wrong.
Let the mod files overwrite the original ones.
After this start l4d2 open console and type "snd_rebuildaudiocache" without quotes.
Wait ~5min and "exit" after the install progress has finished.

If you want your original voice files back just verify the integrity of you game files via steam.
