A plugin used to exist to do the job and allow stuff like THIS but Valve implemented a hardcoded delay on using the voicemenu command that kinda ruins the fun.

Here's a link to a plugin that used to do it, but the last commit was three years ago, so... yeah. Help would be appreciated. A thread already exists, but I thought bumping it would be in poor taste.

EDIT: Problem solved. First post on page 2.

So, this won't work ?
This remove lower bound from console variable. Use sm_cvar tf_max_voice_speak_delay -1 aftern plugin load.

PHP Code:

// tf_max_voice_speak_delay
// Use sm_cvar tf_max_voice_speak_delay -9999.0

public void OnPluginStart()
{

    ConVar tf_max_voice_speak_delay = FindConVar("tf_max_voice_speak_delay");

    if(tf_max_voice_speak_delay == null) SetFailState("Can't find ConVar 'tf_max_voice_speak_delay'");

    tf_max_voice_speak_delay.SetBounds(ConVarBound_Lower, false);
    
    delete tf_max_voice_speak_delay;

}

FindConVar("tf_max_voice_speak_delay").SetInt (-1) is simply what you need.

I wanted to know, does it work just by removing cvar lower bound. (I have not that game installed)

And I don't like when plugin change cvar values, I prefer that user change it from config file or typing in console.
It's problematic (in future) to start debug problems when random SM plugins do own things.

the players have a anti-spam feature

bool CTFPlayer::CanSpeakVoiceCommand( void )
{
	return ( gpGlobals->curtime > m_flNextVoiceCommandTime );
}

void CTFPlayer::NoteSpokeVoiceCommand( const char *pszScenePlayed )
{
	Assert( pszScenePlayed );

	float flTimeSinceAllowedVoice = gpGlobals->curtime - m_flNextVoiceCommandTime;

	// if its longer than 5 seconds, reset the counter
	if ( flTimeSinceAllowedVoice > 5.0f )
	{
		m_iVoiceSpamCounter = 0;
	}
	// if its less than a second past the allowed time, player is spamming
	else if ( flTimeSinceAllowedVoice < 1.0f )
	{
		m_iVoiceSpamCounter++;
	}

	m_flNextVoiceCommandTime = gpGlobals->curtime + MIN( GetSceneDuration( pszScenePlayed ), tf_max_voice_speak_delay.GetFloat() );

	if ( m_iVoiceSpamCounter > 0 )
	{
		m_flNextVoiceCommandTime += m_iVoiceSpamCounter * 0.5f;
	}
}

even if you set tf_max_voice_speak_delay theres still m_iVoiceSpamCounter
one way to get around both restrictions is DHooking CTFPlayer::CanSpeakVoiceCommand

if someone actually would like to make it happen.

I would try first vtable offset (466, 465)
And Hook client, do all magic.

Need to go work.

Ok, I made DHooks plugin but I noticed later, you not really need it. It works, but you not need it.

That extension from first post does right like my second post, removing console variable lower bound.
By default it is min. "0.1"

If you read this anti-spam code, you see m_flNextVoiceCommandTime is getting delay time from tf_max_voice_speak_delay

So, to bypass this, you set much lower value:
sm_cvar tf_max_voice_speak_delay -9999.0

[Redeye 43]

We tried setting tf_max_voice_speak_delay very low (-9999) and it didn't work. The hardcoded delay seems to still be present. Any ideas why?

[Bacardi]

...
What cvar value you get after set?

sm_cvar tf_max_voice_speak_delay -9999.0
sm_cvar tf_max_voice_speak_delay


*edit
There is also another way, let plugin create and send VoiceSubtitle usermessages to players
