Dialogue Suggestion Thread!
Greetings Friends! As I continue to evolve and add onto this pack and continue to polish things up and make this pack as complete as I can. Being 1 person working on the mod making lines for 8 characters, can be a bit challenging. and I know for some characters such as Francis for example. Some of you more beloved Left 4 Dead 2 fan's likely have your own ideas that you wish the character's could say, or lines that you think could be polished/replaced.

This thread is made with the intent to include more collaboration from anyone who has ideas for the mod, or lines they feel require polish.

To encourage, and show appreciation for anyone that chooses to contribute. I have created a Pastebin which will display the credits of anyone who's contributed. The link is listed below.
https://pastebin.com/H6pELRd7

NOTE: I will welcome just about any idea that you have for this pack, I ask however to keep in mind the focus of the pack. The pack's intention is to add lines in that are absent or have lines that are too generic or break immersion. I also have to keep in mind optimization and not fill the pack to the brim with new lines of dialogue. I have to be careful of what I make, and add to the pack. Therefore things like the L4D1 cast screaming while being pounded by the Charger, or the L4D1 cast not having lines for being ridden by the Jockey. I don't intend to make dialogue for these because what exists in the game already works well enough and is appropriate for what is happening. To give you an idea or impression of what I will not take requests for. That said I still welcome any idea or suggestion given, just keep this in mind when making suggestions.

heres an idea you have most certainly not already heard, how about unique lines for the spitter goo incoming in maps 1 and 2 of dead center?

That is actually a really good idea! I didn't think about that. I'll definitely be sure to give that a shot.

heres another dead center related one, when a survivor angers a witch they still shout "witch coming!" despite not knowing that its called a witch. so maybe you could have some unique lines for that too

I think I got one... maybe more, but let's start with this one. Perhaps some lines where you get carried away by the charger, for the l4d1 survivors - as well as Nick and Coach, whereas Rochelle and Ellis has lines for them, but Nick and Coach don't.

i got one, add some heal me lines for the l4d2 survivors. Voice lines that they request to be healed or be given a medkit by their fellow survivor who have one. l4d1 survivors have this particular line but there's no for the l4d2 survivors, so hope this can be added :))

I've thought of another one, scavenge lines for l4d1 survivors, like pouring gas in the generator, or a vehicle, or just in general. Even shouting out a specific number of how much gas they need. Would go great with custom campaigns that have events like this. I think The Last Stand has this in the finale.

Survivors asking for pills/shot, survivor lines for being overwhelmed by commons (lets say Ellis gets more surrounded by the commons than the team, getting hit too many times and unable to maintain crowd control, Ellis would shout that he's getting overwhelmed "AH THEY'RE JUMPIN ME!" or somewhere around that, of course variety of this should exist like when Ellis is the only teammate alive, Ellis is too far from the team or Ellis is covered in boomer bile), survivor comments on the other special infected especially when they die (take dead center tank dying and jockey comments for example), survivors grieving rather than mourn if special finishes off a teammate they failed to help (like if the teammate is bw or died before they could reach to revive him), new survivor screams would be interesting, new Ellis/Louis referencing a game lines (i.e. "Dude this is just like Half Life!"; though if you wanna be more accurate don't reference any games after 2009), same case with Zoey making movie references, Survivor lines for throwing a pipebomb whilst fighting a tank (Two variations, i.e. "random ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ go!" type of energy for no commons and "Get outta the way!" energy for commons, Whitaker making a comment if he kills somebody near the tanker when he blows it up for them would be cool, l4d1 survivors calling out two tanks, survivors calling out more than two tanks (good for custom campaigns like tank playground and tank arena). That's all I can think of for now.

Suggestion 1: On Dead Center, map 2 to be specific, the survivors are able to identify specials, Rochelle can identify all of them, Nick and Coach has all but the Smoker, and then there's Ellis who doesn't have a single one.

Suggestion 2: Same map and campaign; The tank battle cry where they don't know the Tank, until they killed it, can be something along the lines of horror, despair, encouraging, or foolishly brave. Unless Ellis finds thrill to it I guess.

You could expand how revive lines work. You could have intense combat-specific ledge save and critical revive lines and add the friendly fire revive lines to the l4d1 survivors

I actually like that idea quite a bit. I'll see what I can do there once I get my glasses repaired.

Maybe have unique lines of l4d1 survivors reacting to getting hit by the spitters acid like the l4d2 survivors do or have the tank nearby lines for the l4d1 survivors come back like they did in the beta and maybe apply them to the l4d2 survivors too

I feel I should say this before I forget. Having someone pick up a gnome and their teammates either berate, mock, or be in disbelief in reaction to them picking it up.

Even lines on what they say about it from just looking at it. I can just picture what Nick would say to this.

you ever thought about doing stuff for the 8 survivors support? like for example Rochelle being able to callout Louis, Francis, Zoey and Bill by name

L4D1 survivors should have Witch Chasing lines like L4D2 survivors, currently they only scream or ask for help as if they were hanging off a ledge.

Edit: Nevermind, this is already included in this mod. It's just not in the description. Great mod.

I recently learned that in the Geneva Convention, exploding bullets are considered a war crime.
Could you make a Bill voiceline for "warcrime bullets here!"
