OK. Sorry, I haven't been around lately, been working on the l4d1onl4d2 project to work on some much needed scripting... I had repacked the vpk and voice installer to correct some issues with the old ones...
These should work better... Bill will still crash as he still needs a talker file.
@PortalBoat, I'm still here to help if you need any on the talkers.

UPDATE: Talker I've added a talker test file.
All8Survivors_Talker.vpk
[<1MB] - Download
Details:
All8Survivors.VPK
This vpk contains:
- The few missing l4d1 'models' files that aren't included anywhere in l4d2. [take a look in the vpk's model folder]
- All l4d1 survivor scene files that aren't included anywhere in l4d2.
- A newly rebuilt scenes.image file that includes all l4d2 vcd files plus the missing l4d1 survivor vcd files.
- mi123645's weapon scripts - to fix the l4d1 survivor arms. Hey mi123645, do these scripts load from the vpk ok? without any notepad edits on the original pak01_dir files?
- Original4.cfg - not sure what this cfg is for, maybe someone can clarify if it's needed or not.
Note: If the scene.image file should work from within the vpk file - no need to extract it. Also, you must have
L4D2 Addon_support Tool installed because Bill's model is included in the pak02 files.
All8Survivors_Voices Installer
This installer contains:
- All l4d1 voice files that aren't included anywhere in l4d2.
- And a newly rebuilt sound.cache that includes just the extra l4d1 voices.
Note: This installer will install an 'addon_sound' folder into left4dead2\addons keeping the voice files separate from the rest of the game. The addon_sound folder will act as an addon and offer a third sound.cache file which can be rebuilt through the console [with
snd_rebuildaudiocache].
Also, this addon_sound folder can be used to add more custom sounds from other addons which can also be cached via
snd_rebuildaudiocache command in console.
Sorry, but version 1 installed into wrong folder, all fixed now.
All8Survivors_Talker.VPK [Test file]
This installer contains:
- the talker files from Hikiopoltsh's Bill_v2.vpk [edits by me]
I've taken out all of the response rules that were already included in l4d2 and renamed the edited talkers for inclusion in the terror_player.txt. This should give each survivor more lines to speak, and there is also a talker for Bill for anyone willing to take the plunge into figuring him out. This should hold us off until PortalBoat finishes his talker up.
NOTE: To use this vpk, the Pak01_dir.vpk notepad-hack is required - see below.
Install Notes:
- Put All8Survivors.vpk into your left4dead2\addons folder:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons
- Run the All8Survivors_Voices.exe and install into your root l4d2 folder:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2
- Put All8Survivors_Talker.vpk into your left4dead2\addons folder:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons
NOTE: IN ORDER TO LOAD THE CUSTOM TALKER FILES:
- Open left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\pak01_dir.vpk with Notepad++.
- Search for terror_player and change to tarror_player.
- Save and close file.
- Open left 4 dead 2\left4dead2_dlc1\pak01_dir.vpk with Notepad++.
- Search for terror_player and change to tarror_player.
- Save and close file.
This will prevent the default terror_player in the left4dead2_dlc1 folder from loading, and prevents the old terror_player from the left4dead2 folder from loading. It will allow terror_player.txt [which loads talker scripts via its #includes lines at the bottom] to load from an addon vpk.
Bill still crashes and still doesn't talk... Is there a way to load the original survivors without using a sourcemod plugin?
later
