Hello ion, so i've noticed sometimes the vocalizer does not want to work while i'm in a match while another player can use it. not sure why but it'll just pick and choose when it wants to let me use it.
any idea why it happens and if it's fixable?
thanks.

@DeadSpace47: Simply put, talker represent files which define behavior of voice lines. And yes, my vocalizer have those and you would need to modify them to accomplish what you want.
DeadSpace47 Oct 25 @ 5:01am 
What talker? you mean mod vocalizer?
ion  [author] Oct 25 @ 4:58am 
@DeadSpace47: That is correct. The only other way I'm aware of is to change the talker.
DeadSpace47 Oct 25 @ 1:38am 
Ion, so i assume what i needed, requires Sv_cheats always on 1, right? No other way, mechanically?
Ren Oct 22 @ 4:00am 
Thank you, author, for this modification! It's a really useful and much-needed addition for Left 4 Dead players. I really appreciate the effort you put into improving the gameplay experience!
DeadSpace47 Oct 20 @ 11:02pm 
It only works if SV_cheats is on since ent_fire requires it. Sadly i can't host a local server through matchmaking(so anyone can join) without first using the console to load any map.
i wonder if this concept can only be used with sv_cheats on but since you "affect" another player, it surely needs sv_cheats on.

@DeadSpace47: Try this on local server with cheats enabled:
bind "k" "ent_fire !ellis SpeakResponseConcept iMT_EllisStories"
DeadSpace47 Oct 20 @ 2:09pm 
Is it possible to bind a key to force a vocalizer command to be played. Like if I am playing Nick on a local server(that allows all lines to be played), I want to when I press K, to make Ellis say one of his story lines.

Like when I play as Ellis, I can easily find the radial menu and just press the button to say a random story line.
But what if I am someone else?
I am asking if this capability is possible.
I remember in Left for bots 2, when you order bots to move somewhere. When they arrive on the destination they will use a line "Alone", meaning they will say something about where's everyone.
I think in that mod it was something about survivor lost answer call? If that can happen, since it is a general line that every survivor can use, what if a specific voice line can be used? Like the storyline from Ellis.
Or the lines can only be used from the same survivor only.
Did you get my terrible explanation?
ion  [author] Oct 18 @ 6:09am 
@TheDutchDemon: Of course it works properly, otherwise it wouldn't be on the Workshop. You just have to carefully read everything in the description above and familiarize yourself with the vocalizer.
ion  [author] Oct 18 @ 6:08am 
@James Grayson: You can't select a specific response. The game randomly choose a response from the pool of defined voice lines until all are used, and then repeat.
TheDutchDemon Oct 17 @ 2:12pm 
vocaliser does not work properly i can use some of the things but most keys does not work
The Tax Lord Oct 17 @ 8:56am 
The best vocalizer on the workshop! I am just curious, some options offer different responses from the Survivors. Is there a way to select a specific one, or it is always depending on one's luck?
ion  [author] Oct 10 @ 12:24pm 
@goxy: You can't go idle if you are the only player, or if all other players are already idle.
goxy Oct 9 @ 5:36pm 
Can't seem to switch characters or go idle, otherwise it works great.
el macho grandido Oct 9 @ 6:23am 
its good it made my balls humoungus
ion  [author] Oct 6 @ 4:54am 
@n8doggny: You mean the various voice packs for survivors? Yeah, the vocalizer should work with them without problems.
n8doggny Oct 4 @ 7:06pm 
do the mod work with custom voices
Eldemir Sep 28 @ 3:26am 
i cant use some of them during tank run
Versecta Sep 21 @ 3:54pm 
@ion sorry i just had to verify game files, there was a lot of modded chinese servers and ig playing on em messed up my vocalizer lines... prolly had a vocalizer fatigue plugin or smtg.. my b for the trouble.
Yuugenmagen Sep 21 @ 12:16pm 
@ion crap, forgot I had that mod enabled. Sorry for the trouble.
ion  [author] Sep 21 @ 12:03pm 
@Yuugenmagen: That happens when you use Beel's Talker together with my vocalizer, it's noted on the talker's Workshop page.
Yuugenmagen Sep 21 @ 9:48am 
For some reason any campaign map crashes back to the main menu right when the map loads with this mod enabled. I don't have any conflicts or alot of mods. Am I missing something?
ion  [author] Sep 21 @ 4:34am 
@Versecta: Many lines are not available in Scavenge and Survival, so try them in Campaign or Realism. There were no talker updates from Valve for a very long time and probably won't be any more.
Versecta Sep 20 @ 8:45pm 
am i bugging or are some of the lines not usable anymore in official servers? did valve do some updating in those mini updates?
ion  [author] Sep 20 @ 4:20am 
@Paarthurnax: "Hate Ellis" line in Nick's Character-specific 4 radial menu.
Paarthurnax Sep 19 @ 12:15pm 
I'm looking for the voiceline of Nick "I hate you Ellis" where could i find it?
ShEIRT395485-0DIK102383484 Sep 15 @ 9:04am 
I'm not sure why, but in many campaign, the character specific along with many other add-on voices won't respond.
from my perspective Sep 12 @ 11:11pm 
God bless all the creators of this wonderful mod. My sincere respect. 100/10 rating 🌟
Goobert Monkeypants Sep 10 @ 2:17pm 
Hey my game occasionally does this thing where it reinstalls my add ons but this time when it reinstalled I couldn't use the vocalizer and can't see it in the options menu. I've re-subscribed and re opened my game but it won't work anymore. I don't suppose you have any ideas on how I can fix?
kebab Sep 8 @ 12:24pm 
still the best vocalizer to this date
ion  [author] Sep 8 @ 4:02am 
@Jakiy: The code is "vocalize SurvivorLeavingInitialCheckpoint". It's the very same trigger as leaving the initial safe room. Works good for L4D1 survivors, but it's not perfect for L4D2 survivors. I strongly suggest using my vocalizer instead because I've made the cooldown override in a different way.
ion  [author] Sep 8 @ 3:59am 
@Ellis: This add-on is over 9 years old now and it's basically in final form. I have no plans on adding more things. If Valve updates L4D2 and changes official talker, I would most likely make vocalizer changes according to that. But otherwise no.
Jakiy Sep 8 @ 3:14am 
Do you still remember what code you said previously to bypass the vocalizer cooldown? It's fine if you don't want to make public but just let me know what that code is. I need it for my own use. Somehow I still get a bit of delay even on my own server. :steamsad:
Elllis Sep 7 @ 9:59pm 
Any plans on adding more vocalizations? It's been over a year since this was updated
ΛKΛЯI Sep 4 @ 1:28am 
I love this vocalizer better than vox and helrikas I can't believe people are re-uploading and calling they made it themselves
McLovin420 Sep 2 @ 2:35pm 
no crediting, actual plagiarism, and now a comment remover
ion, i'd suggest going right for a proper legal complaint
that will definitely get some action from steam staff
you probably don't want others using unauthorized versions
Tails15_ Sep 2 @ 8:05am 
Im hope people will dont steal your addons anymore
Tails15_ Sep 2 @ 8:03am 
Hello creator. Came to say that someone just stoled your addon and reuploaded it as himself. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3560376827
McLovin420 Sep 1 @ 12:27pm 
we're happy to help
you should rightfully file dmca on him
normal reports go ignored by so called moderators these days
ion  [author] Sep 1 @ 12:21pm 
@Kwidam, @Trunten: Thanks for letting me know. That thief has also re-uploaded some other popular add-ons.
Kwidam Sep 1 @ 11:39am 
Hey, just wanted to let you know someone stole and reuploaded your mod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3560376827
Muchiban Aug 30 @ 8:08am 
I see. Thanks a lot
ion  [author] Aug 29 @ 8:36am 
@Muchiban: This happens when you have Beel's Modified Talker installed together with my vocalizer (hitting the game sound limit). Check out my discussion post about this problem.
Muchiban Aug 29 @ 7:39am 
Hey for some reason, your mod forced my game back to the main menu when it fully loaded the campaign. Idk why
Zexxxy Aug 25 @ 12:16pm 
Awesome thank you very much good sir. If I find out i'll probably just replace the middle option with the elevator since it's empty
ion  [author] Aug 22 @ 12:38pm 
@Zexxy: You're free to change the vocalizer as you want, if you know how.
