[L4D2] Interactive Survivor Groups - Voice lines for L4D2 survivors on L4D1 campaigns

This is a SourceMod Plugin that enables the voice lines and adds respective server-side names for L4D2 characters on maps with the original L4D1 survivors, e.g. No Mercy, Dead Air, etc. (custom campaigns included; nothing is hardcoded).

IMPORTANT: The way this plugin works is that it "splits" both groups of survivors under the hood if it's a campaign that has the original L4D1 survivors.

Let's take a look at this enum for further elaboration:

Code:

enum SurvivorCharacterType

{

        SurvivorCharacter_Gambler = 0,                // Nick

        SurvivorCharacter_Producer,                // Rochelle

        SurvivorCharacter_Coach,                // Coach

        SurvivorCharacter_Mechanic,                // Ellis



        SurvivorCharacter_NamVet,                // Bill

        SurvivorCharacter_TeenGirl,                // Zoey

        SurvivorCharacter_Biker,                // Francis

        SurvivorCharacter_Manager,                // Louis

        

        SurvivorCharacter_Unknown

};

Basically, the plugin will see the first four survivors in the enum as the L4D1 survivors (default by the game) and the last four as the L4D2 survivors. Most plugins that allow players to change characters aren't using the last four numbers so a custom version of a character selection plugin will be required.
