ion's Vocalizer
The Last Stand Update
With the new update now live, nearly all voicelines suffer from a cooldown which prevents players from quickly using them. Though this deals with the issue of being able to actively spam annoying lines such as Screams and laughs, it also cripples the players who actually used the vocalizer to communicate relevant informations during a match, and being able to do so without delay allowed for them to keep up with the game's often hectic pace.

On a more subjective note, the idea of having to wait several seconds between each line simply takes away the freedom and beauty of being able to use our favourite character's quotes to breathe even more humor and life into the game through sentence mixing etc...

Does anyone know if future updates for this mod or other vocalizers could potentially get rid of or atleast reduce this cooldown to some extent?

i think that no matter what ion does, the mod wont be the same since the last stand update. On my end it doesnt even work at all, even by making sure i have the addon up to date by reinstalling it... This update brought new stuff into the game and one of the things that it brought with it is less freedom with vocals. Heck, even the default ones like look, ready and laugh and yes/no dont even work lmao, none of them do! And as i said im talking about the default ones here, so its clear that whatever the devs of the last stand did to prevent voice line spam also got rid of default voice lines. Literaly.
I can only picture the situation like this... "dont like spammers huh? well ♥♥♥♥ it, no more voicelines all together, lets see you spam now!" xD its sad that we got to lose vocalicers just because of some people who enjoy spamming screams or whatever. Perhaps, maybe, just maybe, if they could make the voiceline limitations just an alternative option in lobbies that is checked by default like the lobbies being blocked to friends only by default... so that way when you are playing a serious match where you know people are gonna use the vocalicer properly... but i guess thats asking too much :c

Still we got a pretty good update but... aT wHaT pRiCe

I mostly likely to do call outs with vocal like saying Ready, Hurry, Let's go and etc to make them hurry up or catch up but now the update ruined the call outs that i always do just become pure awful at this point i don't know because i don't like typing in chat because it's too slow or even talking in mics because since i don't like talking in-game, I'm just gonna hope they changed that because it really ruined players who don't like chatting or talking in games.

They did actually fix this issue a few hours back since many players shared a rather negative view about it.

I played for a while yesterday and while certain especific voicelines were not working (blocked ofc, but this already happened before the update in certain maps with certain lines so its not so different) and now all the important lines i used like hurry, go, yes, no, and infected callouts work, also, even the screams work non stop without delay, tho they are not the death scream anymore lmao. Now they sound more like damage screams but they do work now without delay which is awesome cause now i can use again the important callouts.

I use vocalizers for just that as well, I haven't played today since the newest update, but yesterday it was infuriating to try and tell my team mates things but couldn't.

since the update, using the "i could shoot you" line for zoey would cause my game to crash. this happened as recently as last night- not sure if the issue persists today as i do not plan on playing l4d2 again for the time being

I've just tested that line for Zoey on official Valve server and in single player, and it works without any problems. No crashing.

hm, guessing it's either fixed now or just an issue on my end. i'll try to hop on later and test it out again

Logically, how much of the vocalizer can be salvaged after the update broke them? I figured even basic stuff like the 'hear <infected>' commands would still work but nope...
