works fine in campaign & versus for me

I was using these a few days ago, even on the 27th, just fine, they worked in all game modes and all servers. The July 28th update which added the "Tank Stasis Buffs", among other things, seems to have nerfed these custom radials into the ground. They only work in single player for me, period. No, campaign, no versus, no scavenge, etc., nothing. Doesn't matter if I'm on Official Valve or a third-party server.

I don't know if this was just a byproduct of the update or if Valve has purposely targeted these yet again.

Some notes:

When I noticed they were not working, I first uninstalled the game COMPLETELY and deleted all traces of anything related to L4D2.

I reinstalled fresh and then verified my game cache.

I then reinstalled all the radial stuff from scratch (including making BRAND NEW script files and a new auto exec) and created the add-on.

I then verified game cache a second time.

I went into the game and checked the add-on.

Still won't work. Seems this method of custom radials is finally broken for good in multiplayer.

They worked for me just fine for about a week just up until yesterday. I'm guessing the last update messed them up again. Hopefully, they'll be fixed again soon.

Yesterday's [28th] update seems to have changed something. I'm gonna check it out when I get home but for now, I only know that these do not work online. Curious.

Come on. If they wanted to purposely disable vocals, I think they'd have done it by now. They've fixed it a few times now. Most likely it was unintentionally disabled through them doing work on more regular features of game. I dunno.

Honestly, Valve, leave the damned things alone. The bots are annoying all by themselves, give us SOMETHING. Oh god.

some are saying on just campaigns but uve removed all advice do they work anymore?

It was only working in single player. Is this situation changed?
Works in versus?

Feeling wierd that a few weeks ago when they stopped voice commands (early july i think 9/7/10) that the stopping of voice commands was unintentional (according to fittersblog) and that they would be fixed by next week then they stop them all together... valve is a group of wankers they arent getting money from me ever again buying everything off steam from now on and not gonna buy portal 2 instead gonna go for all the other grand games coming out.

The latest error reads something like: "Server is enforcing consistency for pak01_dir.vpk"

Basically, it doesn't work on VS or campaign for me. Anyone know if this is temporary? (As usual)
GodDAMN it this is getting ridiculous. If they made the darn add-on easier people wouldn't have these problems whenever they piss about with other game features. Holy crap.

If you made your radial menus by your method (editing pak01_dir etc.) then it doesnt allow you even to go into vs games and im pretty sure i tried campaign and it wouldn't let me join due to editing pak01_dir. Finally if anyone is genius enough to find a way to get voice commands working again I will give you an interactive cookie.

A few days ago I played on a moded server and a friend gave me some key binds to help with the mods. Well they removed my radila menus competely. I can't find them at all. Is there a way to find them and to re bind them. I tried removing the add on folder and the scripts folder so that the integrity check would work but it did not fix it. mt z,x,b,t and g keys used to be binded and now none work at all for anything.

I even tried just binding a single thing on each one but my binding thru the command panel doesn't sem to work either.

Thanks

People are complainting becasue they banned it in versus...campaign still works apparently..

It only works in campaign now...not versus.

I agree with the previous post.
Don't fix any of the game breaking bugs Valve, focus on things that make the game more enjoyable.
Fuck you, how will my teammates know if I'm being pounced or something without my death scream?
How will i intimidate my enemies on versus by claiming we're vampires? Fuck you, valve. Once again you've ruined l4d2.

Seems like with the 7/9/2010 update, Valve has broken custom radial menus again. These fuckers need to go fucking kill themselves already. Thank god I dont play l4D2 much anymore, or I'd be more ticked off.

I threw a few Passing vocals into my radial menu, but only one works. I check the commands and everything, any ideas?

On a side note I might add, sound never plays when I go on The Passing. I have tried rebuildsoundcache.

what is the command for " ca caw" Ellis says that when he's alone :)

Hi there,

Since I took quite some time to make this work, i'll do a quick howto, go for the full post for more detail:
-Create/Customize your radialmenu.txt
-Create your addoninfo.txt
-Create your .Vpk file with vpk.exe
-Edit pak01_dir.vpk and change radialmenu to Xadialmenu
-Copy original radialmenu.txt in ./scripts (if not already there)
-Copy radialmenu.vpk to ./addons(or whatever name you gave the vpk file)
-Copy addoninfo.txt to ./addons/Radialmenu
-Copy customized radialmenu.txt to ./addons/Radialmenu/scripts
-Launch game once to the main menu; then exit game
-Launch game a second time, disable addons in extra/addons in mainmenu (i have twice the same addon), and PLAY the game.
-Enable addons when leaving the game.

Enjoy ;)

Thanks valve for fixing them, we hate you for taking them away but love you for bringing them back XD.

I am not sure if I have done it correct, because my computer broke I have had to reinstall L4d2 and redo the voice commands I used the method that I used back then to get my radial menus working, what I would like to ask is the problem one caused by the valve foul up or by my ineptitude with computers, I am not entirely sure because it still allows me to toggle between characters so it is working but Im not to sure as I say Im not good with computers anyway does someone know id this is my foul up or that of valves? ty.

My method still works also, probably is the same for us. I feel like in a giving mood so.... I'ma tell y'all.

First, you need to open Pak01_dir.vpk and rename the first radialmenu as tadialmenu (Just like the previous way of adding a radialmenu) and then you need GCFScape, open up Pak011_Dir.vpk and EXTRACT radialmenu (or it could be tadialmenu I believe, dont remember.) to your desktop, make sure to rename it back to radialmenu.txt then move it to your left4dead2/left4dead2/scripts folder. Make sure to NOT touch the file, period. Don't even open it. Now go into L4D2 and remember you still have to have your radialmenu enabled and disable it before you go into game. This has been working for me the past 3-4 days since the update.

PS. Get off your lazy ass and put The Passing vocalizations on the websites please, and possibly put them in a different section away from the original vocalizations.

Hope this helps.

My method still works :o

I seriously hope fucking someone at fucking valve gets some sense beaten the shit into them. Stop fucking taking away that which CAN and SHOULD be monitored by server owners. For the love of friken (Insert Deity here) allow server owns to control a CVAR that allows custom radial menu sounds and put in fatigue. Srsly... this is starting to PO me.

Someone write a message to valve and tell them how lame they are for removing these.

Fucking whiners, they ruin everything with their crying, always gotta be some debby downers.

We need to find another way :(

After today's update (6/18), they are broken once again. I hate you Valve, die.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for this post http://www.fitterblog.com/content/new-method-use-vocalize-commands I have taken your ideas and instead of using them just for voices I use the radial menu to change maps and commands on our server. It works a treat. I just wanted to say to all those people who say that it doesn't work its becasue the thing you have to do is one of habit and it has to be done every time. Ive now installed this on five different systems and they all work in the same way. Go into game go to the extras menu and put a tick into the custom radial menu then close it down. Re-open let everything load and just before you go into game go into the extras folder again for add-ons and un tick the custom radial menu go play with your radial menus and when your ready to leave don't forget a trip to extras to put the tick back in. So basically Left for dead needs to run so it can load the custom menus but the servers wont allow you in with it running hence the tick has to be taken out before you enter a server. If you forget to take put the tick back in at the end of game next time you load lfd2 you have to put the tick in and close down then re-open allow it to load then go take the tick out again. Its is messing around and I wish there was another way but it seems no one has come up with one that Ive heard about but I'm happy that at least this works so thank you once again

Does anyone know what Ellis' "ca caw" command is? (when he's alone) I've seen people using it on YouTube vids but cannot find it. I only know the sound file is worldmisc34, 35 and 36. :/

Thank you! Got the vocalization working beautifully. Amazing site. Can't thank you enough.

What's the one where nick goes: That's it! We're really here! We're on the bridge! We're here! We're here!

That one is so fun to spam.

Also, do you know if there is a way to get OMG it's XMAS working again?

Can you get that command when Nick says Tits? its awesome! :D.. thanks

Ok This problem goin annoying , you can used the vocalize on Mode story or Multiplayer mode story but... u cant used the vocalize on vs mode somebody can fix it ?!?! or not ?

Thanks very much. I made it and enjoyed :)
But i have a problem. When i try to join a server or anything multiplayer it gives error:
bla bla bla radialmenu.txt

Of course in single player it works but not in multiplayer.

And a few min ago i heard rochelle was saying: " thats the way a ha a ha we made it aha aha "
That sounded very interesting :)

hey, i just got a short question:
will you update the list with vocalizes from the passing?
thanks in advance!
