Question regarding SurvivorSpottedTank lines and official servers
So I modified the talker scripts, specifically all of the SurvivorSpottedTank rules for the L4D2 survivors so the responses called for are the Dead Center specific tank lines when vocalizing Tank (so all of the responses are SurvivorSpottedTankC1Gambler and so forth for all of them).

It works like a charm in single player and local servers, however on the official dedicated servers they're still vocalizing the standard Tank lines regardless of the change in the scripts.

Any reason why this might be, and is there a possible fix? Just wondering, thanks!

Talker and other scripts which are affecting all players are server-sided, which means they're loaded from hosting server every time you start the game (if you modified them). Official servers have unmodified official talker, obviously.

You've made scripts which will work fine if you are hosting (single player and local host). But they will never work on official servers because of the aforementioned reason and there is no fix for that.

Imagine another server-side scripts example for comparison. You make changes to weapons scripts (more damage, more ammo, faster reload, whatever changes) and you start official server game expecting it will work there. It's just not how the game works. :)

Makes sense. I wasn't aware the talker scripts were server sided. That's disappointing lol but I can see the reasoning behind it.

Thanks for the response!
