About : We all know Zoey is unusable in Windows because Valve has somehow not fixed the crash issue, so this plugin is a remedy to that (THIS WILL NOT FIX THE CRASH)
How it works :
Utilizing Scene Processor and Nick as our base character, we give the character a Zoey model, and if both of these conditions are met, every single line is intercepted and replaced with a Zoey equivalent.
This plugin has been sort of done for a few months now, there are simply a few final touches needed however, since I stopped working on it, and won't in the foreseeable future, I decided to release it in it's current state, which is to say about 95% finished.
This same plugin was used in the Survivor Death Animations restore video
Here
As you can see, it's a perfectly working Zoey on Windows!
This plugin requires
scene processor to compile.
TO use this plugin, set you m_survivorcharacter netprop to 0 (Nick) and then give yourself a Zoey Model, or, download the precompiled version of Survivor Chat Select and simply use Zoey from there!
CVARs :
Code:
"l4d2_fake_zoey_version" - current version of the FakeZoey plugin
Code:
Version 1.0 02-14-2015
- Initial Release (80 views)
Version 1.1 03-24-2015
- Some small code cleanup (Removed Mourn Fix as it was made into its own plugin)
- FakeZoey now screams the names of L4D1 survivors when they die and they do the same for her
- CallForRescue now implemented for FakeZoey (this still has issues, While she'll have Zoey voice, Nick text will still show up in closed captions)
- Added updated Survivor Chat Select plugin
Version 1.2 04-13-2015
- Fixed an invalid array index error caused by the CallForRescue Fix
Bugs :
Code:
- This is not a bug, but;
Zoey will speak in Nick's voice when in a rescue closet because it is not the actual character speaking, and as such, it is impossible to replace those lines with Zoey's lines.
Now, the plugin by itself only does the following :
It needs a player's survivor to be set to Nick, and then have their survivor model changed to Zoey, and it will work, however, their hands and icons will be Nick's.
However, a L4D2 version of Sendproxy Manager has been compiled, and with it, I made a modified Version of Survivor Chat Select to make it so that the client will also have Zoey arms and icons.
Check out the source for SendProxy
here.
Reminder : This is NOT a Zoey fix, just a workaround. In actuality this is Nick, meaning you cannot do any Zoey specific vocalizations, and she won't take part in interactions with the L4D1 survivors on L4D1 campaigns
NOTE : If you only download Fake Zoey, you will still have Nick Arms and Icons, Download and Install SendProxy to achieve the best possible Zoey experience!
If you want to have all 8 Survivors EVEN in L4D1 campaigns, this post will help you accomplish it.
