VSAY Reference


(murka) #21

Added the binding section. Didn’t figure out how to include quotes last night. Was trying single quotes like in idTech, but seems like the next obvious thing worked.


(SockDog) #22

I’ve updated the first post with your updated post. Thanks again for figuring that out.

Once the game is announced I wonder if SD will host a wiki? Would be nice to have a single repository everyone can contribute too rather than a collection of fan websites.

Murka being awesome as always.


(light_sh4v0r) #24

I have a suggestion for the VSAYs: print the key-combo in chat whenever someone uses them. They do it in Tribes too and I learn them much quicker that way. It can show a simple v32 in front of the message as far as I’m concerned.


(SockDog) #25

That’s a fricken awesome idea! I added a poll.


(light_sh4v0r) #26

Guess what I just voted… :tongue:

Super useful guide. Thanks for posting!

Love the v57 @ v53! :smiley: The RTCW player in me just about passed out with excitement hitting those three little keys in game before I had even realized SD incorporated the vsays in the game!


(Kiddspooky) #29

Thanks so much!

I can’t wait to hear the finished versions, and its AMAZING these are back! Missed them so much in brink!

Having vsays add so much to the game. Not only for team play, but they are just fun as hell!


(stealth6) #30

Is the vsay menu going to stay the same as it is now? (v66 etc?) I love this system and hate other games where you need to use your mouse for vsays.

Also I have a request to extend incoming to:

  • Incoming North
  • Incoming South
  • Incoming East
  • Incoming West

Then I can string together vsays like “incoming south” “defuse the c4” so people know which c4 to defuse or simply “incoming north” so people know which direction they are coming from.


(rookie1) #31

for some reason id been vsays things ingame while im not pressing and V key …have double check and can see what triggering it


(iwound) #32

is TTS possible in DB for players to abuse… i mean use.?


(chippy) #33

V32 Oi! Chop chop!


(chippy) #34

I have no idea if this would work or be useful but just an idea.

I’m running low on health, I aim/look at the nearest medic, press X (read: another “quickvoice” button if you will), and the character shouts out “Medic!” and writes out in the chat “[TEAM] InsertNicknameOfTheGuyIAmLookingAtHere: I need a medic!”

Same thing could go for ammo/fire support. Like I said, no idea if it would be useful at all, but it’s an idea at least.

This is quite similar to what the context chat system did in ETQW, if was a sub-set of the most important v-says that could be triggered by a single key and based on who or what was under your crosshair. We want to add something like this for DB in the end as well, just not sure when :slight_smile:


(.Chris.) #36

That’s a pretty good extension of that system when requesting support from medics/fops, perhaps even a little beep when that player is highlighted just to make sure in case they miss the text version, obviously put in some anti spam system in place to prevent abuse.


(Raviolay) #37

I would be nice to record your own, and have other players hear that (possible download from store?). Yes I know their is voice coms, and to be honest the implantation is not feasible or for that matter possible, ah well.


(iwound) #38

it has text to speech which is what i meant by TTS. you could create your own, so no complaining its missing your favourite.


(Raviolay) #39

I was thinking more on the lines of the actual voice iwound (like using a sound clip), should of made myself clear.


(.Chris.) #40

How would you prevent abusive recordings?
