Known Issues/Bug Reports
Report bugs you encounter with the script here!

I'll only accept reports that comes in intelligible English.

If you get an issue apon first try of using the mod, please don't go straight to me, restart the game and see if it solves itself.

The Radial Menu IS NOT "SET". Do not message me saying "I can't set a voiceline!", there is only ONE menu in the mod that can be set for custom commands, but it isn't intended for the base mod.


Some Known Issues:

  • Any addon that changes the "radialmenu.txt" will conflict with this addon.

  • It seems that the website Gamemaps, is far more used than I originally thought for l4d2 addons, so I will say it myself. The only official VXL addon that exist is this one.
    Anyone uploading this addon in my name to game maps, is infact not me... those are unofficial copies and not updated by me. Please only use this one. I will not solve everyones issues with false copies.


  • The health/respawn command on respawn doesn't close the menu properly

  • Using the Character force command also doesn't close the menu properly

  • Some voicelines in some situations can cause map events to play incorrectly/repeatedly, Such as Death tolls boat arriving early from bill spamming "Hello?" to the radio

  • There are a couple voicelines that don't play emediately/take a couple tries such as coaches M. Riders cheers

  • There are a couple (i think) voicelines that can only be played once per map (aka chapter) such as coaches Burger tank order.

  • Spawning combustible items such as Propane tanks into your hands while already holding one will make the old one drop to the floor as a "dud", Meaning it can't be triggered by being shot like usual. picking it up and throwing it will fix it. Perhaps making the player forcibly throw the item as soon as its spawned would be a reasonable fix.

Hi, I've been having a problem where when I select my survivor with the g key, none of the special dialogue (which I believe is by default bound to n & m) pops up when I try to press n or m (which I made sure were bound in the keyboard options menu). This happens on every character, every map, and without my other add ons. Everything else works great, so I'm curious as to what might be causing this. This also happened with the original one by skull before he removed it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

When did this error occur? As I have made multiple changes to how the g menu selects survivors. The specifics and the last infected spawner are the only ones that uses Alias commands to remain dynamic... Could you open the game and press N and M and tell me if the console says anything?
AssBlasst 21 Apr, 2016 @ 10:38am 
I've never been able to open the n & m menus before, but I went to check the console as you requested just now and it started working, which is weird because it wasn't working last night, as I even double checked before I posted this. Thank you for your willingness to assist me! I'm not sure what fixed it, but I'm glad it's fixed itself. Thank you for this great mod!

Happy to oblige! Just something to give back to the community. The error was likely related to not being updated on your client to work with the new design yet.

The mod works great, but I've been having an issue with setting bindings for it in the autoexec; only concerning the 3 main radial menus.

bind kp_end "+mouse_menu radial1"
bind kp_downarrow "+mouse_menu radial2"
bind kp_pgdn "+mouse_menu radial3"

That's how I have it in the autoexec but ingame they end up switched around. My bind for radial1 ends up for radial2, radial2 for radial3, and radial3 just ends up unbound. This is easily fixable by rebinding them properly ingame, but I have to do that everytime I restart the game. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Twitchy Tristan  [developer] 26 Nov, 2016 @ 8:35am 
Well this appears to be a slip up on my end when i was writing down the advanced bindings in the workshop description (fixing that as of now) because it was written before the "exec vxl.cfg" system was dropped, and back then it was refered to as "+radial1" rather than what the actual command was: Which is "+mouse_menu radial"

So that means "radial" is 1, not "radial1". Radial1 is infact supposed to be 2... and of course with Three radials being referenced in this way makes "radial3" simply not exist.

As of you having to rebind it every game restart is because you left that incorrect script in your autoexec, and as you can guess that means it reloads it every time.

Besides the thing that was supposed to make this script unique from the others, is that it is a script you can use from the get go without any use of the console, or autoexecs.



TL;DR: Simply wipe your bindings in the autoexec, and use the ingame menu instead. (i suggest you read for why)

Okay, I see. Thanks for the response!

At some point the survivor specific menus stopped working for me. They are bound correctly and worked before as is:

bind kp_leftarrow "+specific1"
bind kp_5 "+specific2"

All of them have custom binds but the others are still functioning properly.

The only thing that has changed was the update L4D2 received in February. Do you know what the prob may be? Thanks in advance.

If you had read the description of the mod you would see I called out this update and put out a fix
Cheryl 13 Sep, 2017 @ 5:14pm 
Specific Voicelines do not function (aka menu's do not open) regardless of how they are binded, or the key
Twitchy Tristan  [developer] 13 Sep, 2017 @ 5:17pm 
you are using the "G" key for character selection right?
Waloogi 16 Jul, 2018 @ 6:48am 
I binded all the menus but none of them worked, this is probably the most stupid bug report you have gotten and is probably easily fixable but I have no idea why they aren't working.
