ion's Vocalizer
My suggestions for new commands
Here in this magical thread are my thoughts about the new Survivor voice commands or, hell, a new "mouse menu" for this vocalizer. Some of these will likely not happen, but maybe one or two of these ideas will interest you, ion.

Witch Getting Angry
From my past experience with the vocalizers, me and my friend were using two of the vocalizer addons with this command. When activated, a survivor will warn others that the Witch is "havin' a hissy fit".

Witch Startled/Chasing
Startling the Witch has got to be a bad idea, but what if those lines like "I pissed the Witch off!" or "Coming through, Witch on my ass!" were used in other chase situations, such as a triggered player chasing you with a chainsaw? I also want the one that says "OH ♥♥♥♥!" when she's about to chase the victim that startled her, just for fun.

For some reason, I can't find any of these commands regarding being chased by the Witch...

Suggest Healing
For when you really need a player to keep up and tell them to use their First Aid Kit. Not only because it's useful, but I also want to try it out after seeing that "Beejie Bean" actually has a vocalizer with that command and she can make really funny combinations with it.

Ridden by the Jockey
IS THIS THING HUMPIN' ME?!

The vocalizer I used before also had a spammable command (just like "Pounced") which allows survivors to react to the Jockey pouncing and riding them.

Nice Shot!
Played when the other survivor kills the Special Infected from the far distance.

Grabbing Scavenge Can
Got it!

Dead Center Intro (_introc1m1)
The rescue chopper just couldn't wait for the survivors and it flies away while they yell "HEY, COME BACK" at it, which doesn't work.

Jimmy Gibbs' Car Speeding Away (c1m4escape)
The outro of Dead Center which has the survivors steal Jimmy Gibbs Jr.'s stock car, put the pedal to the metal and outta the mall... while cheering, and pretty much every survivor from L4D2 can use this command.



Well, that's enough. I couldn't think of more anyway.

Thank you for the suggestions. Now, first of all, I've made this vocalizer to work primarily on official servers which have original, unmodified version of game's talker files. These talker files have rules, criteria and conditions when, where and how vocal lines can be used. Vocalizers just issue commands and those commands are executed depending on rules given in talker files. That said, you can't say just anything you want with vocalizer, talker files have to support it.

Ok, but how some players (like mentioned Beejie Bean) are using some uncommon vocal lines, you can ask? Simply, they play on customized servers which have talker files modified or they play on locally hosted server again with modified talker files. Those servers gives different screaming and laughing sounds, calling out chargers, spitters and jockeys, chainsaw rampage, Ellis' stories and birdcall, coughing, various unused conversation lines etc. But again, these vocalizations won't work on official servers because officials don't allow modified talker files (they enforce the unmodified originals).

Now that we know this, let's see about the suggestions:

I've been already considering adding this line before, but it never made it in and probably won't make it. There're "Witch" and "Lights off" lines to warn about witches. I'm not aiming to have every possible line in the vocalizer.

Cannot be added, not without modifying talker files.

Although it is funny, it's way too similar to being pounced, so I've never added it and probably won't, sorry.

I really wanted to add this in the latest version and I've been testing it thoroughly. But this line is very unreliable and works only on rare moments. You can't use it freely when you want. That's the reason I haven't added it. Would be nice to have it, though...

This lines would be a great addition because it has many uses. For example, someone points out there's a molotov or pipe. You take it and use "Got it" to inform the others. Unfortunately, it only works for L4D2 survivors and also has 5-6 seconds delay between uses. I don't know, maybe I'll add it in some future revision, but I don't promise.

Meh... Can be added, but it's not that good. Also, triggers a longer conversation and I avoid adding those very long lines.

It has a very limited use because it can be used only once per level. I'm never adding lines which can be used only once.

Anyway, thank you for the effort. It's always good to hear what users of my vocalizer have to say. ;)
