Why oh why can’t I just sing out for a medic to heal me or a soldier to give me ammo?

Best thing about ET was the ability to communicate with other players.

Give us back our vsays!!!

Yeah, you can only teamchat and shout for a medic. Helps most of the time. Ammo is differen’t since you are up and don’t have the time to chat.

bind “KP_DEL” “sayteam ‘Medic!’”
bind “KP_ENTER” “sayteam ‘I need AMMO!’”

Politly asking with a “please” might help too :slight_smile:

How/where can I save this commands?

(Stormchild) #5

But that only writes down without sound, right ?

(Thundermuffin) #6

Put it in your autoexec or copy and paste it into the console.

Yeah, there’s no sound played sadly. :frowning: Would be nice if you were able to just put something like
bind “x” “sayteam Medic!; playsound medic.wav” and it use a sound already in game for calling a medic.

Correct. It’s better than nothing though.

Create with notepad and save as [name].cfg in:

Steam\userdata########\22350\local\base

fire up the game bring down console and type exec [name]

ET’s messaging system was so awesome. Plus I didnt have to use VOIP and listen to all the idiots the world over.

+1 :tongue: We need the V_Say back :stroggbanana:

I hated the most vsay. Rarely more helpful then a text message but often just spammed bull**** by idiots. and I had no option to mute that idiot.

VOIP to mute and text chat macro, like it is now, are a very nice solution for me.

If you must have these, include a mute/ignore option for gods sake.

bumping to get spammers thread off front page

There should be a mild shock delivered to anyone who uses vsay twice within 4 seconds. Reminds me of TF2 when all you hear for the first 60 seconds of a match is 6 variations of the word “medic” being screamed over and over as everyone charges out of the spawn.

And if you actually are a medic: good luck trying to use that as help on deciding who to heal. 99% of the time the person calling for a medic is on full health and doesn’t need a medic escort.

I think overloading the keyboard / joypad to deliver an electric shock would minimize this problem (until someone figures out the hack of playing with washing up gloves on).

(BomBaKlaK) #16

yep ! we need it for sure ! so usefull ! and not here … vsays are SD jewel !
why do not implement it ?

(FireWorks) #17

Because they are annoying?

Use a text macro.

(Crytiqal) #18

No they are not anoying, they had a spam delay.
I almost never had vsay spammers anyway in all the years I played ET and ETQW

(Stormchild) #19

The thing is, the sounds need to be there. I think most of them are, as auto-chat, but for certain, they have to be recorded = paying an actor, recording in studio, etc… much hassle.

So I am not sure we are about to see real vocal v_say soon

(BomBaKlaK) #20

All the sounds are here ! they just need to implement a quick chat
