Is there a commands to vocalize infected, like smoker's alerts, hunter's screaming or sounds of boomer?

If you just want to change the text:
Have a look at
\Steam\SteamApps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\resource\left4dead_english.txt
(or whatever language you have set)
and go down to the //Rosetta-Section

If you want to change the options of the dialogue-wheels:
don't do anything to the previous file, but leave it open for reference.
Open
\Steam\SteamApps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\scripts\RadialMenu.txt
change the vocalize-commands and add the appropriate text below from the rosettas.

Example:
"South"
{
"command" "vocalize PlayerStayTogether"
"text" "#L4D_rosetta_staytogether"
}

Any possibility to force a tank-spawn as infected player in versus?

Happy new year everyone, on the first page, there's a command called "spectate" to be able to go spectator mode, however what is the command to join back? Or is there simply no command to do so but i saw many players go to spectate mode just to get something to eat and then come back as a survivor so am i missing something?

Press Escape, then click 'Take a Break'. This can't be done in Versus, however.

Doesn't seem to work for me, must I type that before I make a lobby or? I can ping the server in game through console but when i set that and start the game in lobby it just keeps searching and finding nothing i can also connect to it through console. is there anything i should enable/disable in the server.cfg file?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: never mind, had to set server region to Europe, works fine now

Type "spectate" into the console.


Could someone tell me if there is a way to join a game in spectator mode? Rather than joining on the infected/human team. This is so that when i join a random game, my character does not go afk, leaving me to lose all my hp before i even join a game!!

This is very helpful and fun I love Rambo mode.

hi

i want to make a l4d gamevideo. now i am looking for the right console commands to get the right movielook.

i allready know how to turn of the glow around the models, but what i also need is:

- change movementspeed of freelook-camera
- hide playernames (the name above the model) .. what i need is a clear view without any hud or something
- higher modeldetails if possible

is there a command for the outfading of the dead infected? is there a way, they dont fade out?

Is there a command to save the keybinds to a txt/cfg file? Or is it in there already? (I'm not at home, can't check it out right now...)

Your binds should stick once you put them in. If they don't however simply add them to your autoexec.cfg

Your Config.cfg is where your basic key bind commands are, along with other game stuff.
I have only added key bind to mine tho, the helpful voice ones. I have no idea what the other stuff is so i dont touch it

[Skinn]
