About : This plugin simply forces all 8 survivors to use their unused Combat Grunts when utilizing (read:swinging) a melee weapon.

Change Log :

Version 1.0   03-09-2015 (50 Views)
- Initial Release

Version 1.1   03-24-2015
- Added Support for L4D1 survivors (Yay!)
- Implemented Unused Ellis Lines for when he beheads an Infected with a melee weapon (NOTE: These lines will not produce any Closed Captions to show up)
- Implemented a Percentage Chance CVAR for grunts and Ellis' comment chance

Version 1.2   04-04-2015
- Implemented Scene Processor, Grunts now obey the normal vocalizing laws (grunts will no longer auto cancel the survivor's current line)
- Survivors can now no longer grunt if they are vocalizing (context:read above)
- Added Closed Captions for Ellis' comments!
- Ellis' comments are now also subject to talker file's rules just like grunts are

Some Example Pics of Ellis' comments: VIDEO

Spoiler

Bugs :

- Plugin is expected to be bug free

This plugin will automatically create a new cfg file if none is found (l4d2_melee_weapon_grunts.cfg)
CVARS :

// Chance out of 100 (i.e 25 for 25% chance) that a survivor will vocalize their combat grunts when using their melee weapon (Default: 100%)
// -
// Default: "100"
// Minimum: "1.000000"
// Maximum: "100.000000"
combat_grunt_chance "100"

// Chance out of 100 (i.e 25 for 25% chance) that a Ellis will make a comment when beheading a common infected with a melee weapon (Default : 75%)
// -
// Default: "75"
// Minimum: "1.000000"
// Maximum: "100.000000"
ellis_comment_chance "75"

This plugin is simply a modification of Sir's Sound manipulation plugin found here
Credits to him!

AS OF VERSION 1.2, THIS PLUGIN NOW REQUIRES SCENE PROCESSOR TO FUNCTION!

I tried looking around the L4D1 survivors voice files but with the exception of Francis, none of their noises could really be re-used for this plugin.

I also hope my thorough testing was enough this time and nothing errors out, I tend to make the stupidest oversights ever, or really simple ones, which is why I'll always remain a coding newbie xD

Good work.

My only take with the L4D1 survivors is to take the least ridiculous sounding hurt sounds and use them as melee grunts.

A couple for each off the top of my head with sound files.

Zoey

Hordeattack10
Hordeattack29

Bill

HurtMinor07
HurtMinor09

Louis

HurtMinor05
HurtMinor06

Francis

HurtMinor02
HurtMinor04

Yeah, most of them are clearly pain sounds.

I actually found a few good ones with Francis
hurtminor02
hurtminor04
hurtminor07
hurtminor08
hurtmayor06
positivenoise02

I'll continue to poke around and try to find a few more, I don't want to have too few sounds as I imagine some people would get tired of the same only 2-3 sounds being played over and over.

Did you reuse "scripts\game_sounds_melee_vo.txt"? How often do they grunt?

By the way, I suggest searching "left4dead2_dlc2\sound\player\survivor\voice". There are more complete L4D1 survivors lines.

No, I did not re-use any files, instead of calling the scenes (.vcd files) the plugin simply forces the .wav files to be played and heard by everyone.

They will grunt every time they use a melee weapon.

Though if this annoys anyone and is requested I can make it a controllable chance via a CVAR

[Sev]

Nah, the fact that they play the grunts/sounds everytime is perfect.

Kinda silly if it was random, to me anyway.

But if others request it, definitely a percentage chance at best that's controllable.

UPDATED PLUGIN!

- Added Support for L4D1 survivors
- Implemented unused lines for Ellis when he beheads an Infected with a melee weapon (They will not show any closed captions though!)
- Added a percentage chance for both of these things controlled by CVARS

These are all of Ellis' possible comments upon beheading an infected with a melee weapon

"GodDamn that head went flyin'!"
"Oooooooooooooooooooooh Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah!"
"Woooooooooo! You just got shorter cousin!"
"Man that zombie was too tall, I fixed 'im!"
"Batter the hell up!"
"Pow!"
"Bam!"
"Crack!"
"That's a home run!"
"Outta the park baby!"

Yippy.

New version needs a compile though.

Done.

I don't know why this changed, I didn't add any includes, it only has sourcemod and sdktools as an include just like the previews version did and that one compiled, so I really don't know.
