Description
Snare Speak enables voice-chat across team boundaries when a survivor is subdued by an infected. The infected that snared the survivor can speak to the snared survivor, and the snared survivor can speak to the infected that snared him. This does not destroy the connection a player has with his own team, it only creates an additional duplex channel between the snaring infected and the survivor. This lasts the duration of the snare, and then the communication channel is closed.


CVARS
snarespeak_printchannel - Print to player chat when a voice channel is created and destroyed. Default is 1.
snarespeak_endofround_alltalk - Turns on all talk when the round ends. Default is 0.
snarespeak_allowboomer - Allow the boomer to create an audio channel when it vomits on a survivor. Default is 1.
snarespeak_boomertime - Time in seconds the boomer channel is left open. Set to 0 for expiration when puke wears off. Default is 10 seconds.
snarespeak_version - The current version of the plugin.
snarespeak_twoway - Creates a two-way communication channel. Defaults to 1. If set to 0, Only the attacker can here the victim, but not vice-versa.
snarespeak_startofround_alltalk - Turns all talk on for the beginning of the round until the safe room door is opened. Default is 0.

Changelog

Thanks
Icettiflow - Presented the idea to me, and allowed me to debug on his server.

Notes
When compiling yourself, disregard the tag mismatch warnings. The SetClientListening function has a jaded past, and apparently still isn't correctly set by the SDK documentation.

When using the SpecListener plugin, you need to use the modified version by bman87. All credits go to him and the original author of SpecListener. You can find that modification at http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpos...56&postcount=8

L4D2 Compatibility
AtomicStryker was nice enough to modify SnareSpeak to work with L4D2. The L4D2 version can be downloaded here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpos...&postcount=143
Thanks AtomicStryker!

Congratulations on this release. This was discussed at one time in the requests forum and I have been following up with it. I'm glad n0limit accepted this request and he got it working in no time. LOVE IT!!!

[Naow]

Cool idea !! I will try this plugin asap

[Thraka]

???!?!! This sounds awesome! The only issue I can raise with this, is that as a survivor, you cannot yell "I'M PULLED!" or "I'M POUNCED!!"

What about when the infected tags a bot? What happens if the player leaves the game while infected?

One thing that would be cool, is when the round ends, ALL TALK turns on.

[mattressfish]

This is a neat idea. Good work!

[santaclaus]

i remember the request, i didn't know it was possible to do it.
Awesome however can you answer Thraka's question

Good job

EDIT : yeah like thraka said ... hum he wouldn't be able to call for help ... hum .

Why not?

It doesn't work that way. You are not restricted to ONLY talking to the person that pounced you. Your team can still hear you too. What he meant was, if I pounce Thraka, Thraka's whole team cannot hear me taunting him while I rip his organs out. Only Thraka.

The joy of this is, I get to hear your screams as you yell for help!

What about it? The bot can't talk...does the bot care to hear you talk?

The required second entity to create the channel is no longer available and the channel closes.

[Thraka]

I don't know how the channel system works. I assumed that when you joined the channel, you left your team's channel automatically.

[santaclaus]

The infected that snared the survivor can speak to only the snared survivor, and the snared survivor can speak only to the infected that snared him

Is it true or false ?

[Icettiflow]

I don't know how I could have been more clear:
IF YOU GET POUNCED you can talk to YOUR TEAM AND THE PERSON THAT POUNCED YOU.
IF YOU GET SMOKED you can talk to YOUR TEAM AND THE PERSON THAT SMOKED YOU.
IF YOU POUNCE SOMEONE you can talk to YOUR TEAM AND THE PERSON THAT YOU POUNCED.
IF YOU SMOKE SOMEONE you can talk to YOUR TEAM AND THE PERSON THAT YOU SMOKED.

What he means by "ONLY" is that you can ONLY converse with the one actively pouncing/smoking you. NOT THE ENTIRE ENEMY TEAM.

I will contact n0limit so he can update this thread.
