Note: this plugin does not auto-download your Voice Packs. As such, I highly recommend you use Starbish's S-Downloader alongside this mod.
What does it do?
This plugin allows you to set custom Voice Packs on each of the 9 classes, which will then replace their typical class dialogue.
Here's a demonstration video, if you're curious.
How do I use it?
The plugin can be triggered via 3 commands:
!voicepack
!voicepacks
!customvoice
These commands are restricted to
ADMFLAG_GENERIC by default. You can use overrides to change this if you wish.
Where do I find Voice Packs?
GameBanana's TF2 section is a great source for voice packs. My personal favorite is Vinesauce Joel for Soldier, which was actually the inspiration for this mod! However, if you're going to take a Voice Pack from an outside source instead of making one from scratch, please credit the pack's original creator.
What if I'd rather make my own Voice Pack?
You'll want to make your sounds by following the same general process as
this guide, just without installing them to your local tf/custom folder. Just create your sounds and rename them to the sounds they'll replace; IE, if I want my sound to replace heavy_cheers01, I'll rename my custom sound to heavy_cheers01.
How do I install new Voice Packs?
The plugin comes packaged with a config titled
voicepacks_content. Adding a voice pack to the server is as simple as putting the sound files on the server, then modifying the config accordingly.
Step 0: If your Voice Pack comes in the form of a VPK, you'll want to make sure you have
Nem's GCFScape installed, that way you can extract the sound files themselves and add them to your server.
Step 1: When putting your sound files on the server, you'll want to setup a directory for your Voice Pack, relative to the sound/ folder. For example, if I'm adding a Voice Pack for the Soldier that replaces his dialogue with lines from Vinesauce Joel, my path might look something like this:
Code:
myserver/voice_packs/soldier/joel/
Step 2: Next, you'll take all of the sound files for your voice pack and put them in that directory.
Note: ALL of your sound files must be in this directory. Sounds that are in sub-folders of this directory will not play.
Step 3: Finally, just edit voicepacks_content.cfg accordingly:
Code:
"voice_packs"
{
"scout_packs"
{
//Empty, and therefore no scout voice packs exist.
}
"soldier_packs"
{
"1"
{
"pack_name" "Vinesauce Joel" //Title of this voice pack.
"pack_path" "myserver/voice_packs/soldier/joel/" //Path to the sounds used by this pack, relative to the sound/ folder (NOTE: The final / at the end is necessary.)
"pack_example" "soldier_taunts03.mp3" //Example voice line, relative to the above path (Optional)
"pack_creator" "The 14th Doctor (GameBanana)" //Pack creator, if taken from GameBanana or some other site(Optional)
"pack_contributor" "Spookmaster" //Player who suggested/found this pack for the server (Optional)
}
}
//Etc, etc, repeat for each class.
}
If all goes well, your newly installed Voice Pack should now be on the server!
Please report any and all bugs you find, and by all means, feel free to make and/or suggest improvements to the plugin if you feel like it.
