There are many vocalizations available in L4D. You can use them to help your team...or taunt the other.

Here's a list of commands:

To bind them every time you play, put the following in a new file, autoexec.cfg, and drop it in

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\cfg


This is mine right now...

bind "c" "vocalize PlayerThanks"
bind KP_END "vocalize PlayerWarnTank"
bind KP_LEFTARROW "vocalize PlayerWarnWitch"
bind KP_5 "vocalize PlayerWarnMegaMob"
bind KP_RIGHTARROW "vocalize PlayerTaunt"
bind KP_HOME "vocalize PlayerWarnBoomer"
bind KP_UPARROW "vocalize PlayerWarnSmoker"
bind KP_PGUP "vocalize PlayerWarnHunter"
bind KP_ENTER "vocalize PlayerLaugh"
bind KP_INS "vocalize PlayerDeath"
bind KP_DEL "vocalize PlayerIncoming"
bind KP_PLUS "vocalize PlayerAlsoWarnBoomer"

//not using these two, but for completeness of the numpad keys...
//bind KP_DOWNARROW
//bind KP_PGDN

thanks- you're saying call the new file "autoexec.cfg"?

And notepad didn't add an extra .txt to the end of autoexec.cfg, did it? You might have to go rename in Explorer. Doubt that it matters, but you might also need to make sure there are no blank lines before the commands start. Otherwise, not sure what's going on...it just worked for me.

Thanks- I ended up doing it manually. Worked a charm.

Hmm. The manual binds I did didn't stick.

I looked at the cfg I copied from you and it is actuall .cfg.txt.

But the "name" of the file shows just "autoexec.cfg" I only see .txt under properties. any idea how to change that? Renaming doesn't do it.

Ah- nevermind. I simply edited an existing cfg and "saved as". Fixed

FYI.. if you save a file in notepad, place quotes around the file name. It will save it "as is". It will not append a .txt extension to your file name.

Not sure why, but I can't get L4D to retain my Spray binding. It remembers the spray I use, but the key is always unset when I re-open L4D. Weird.

Glad you got the voice binds set, Hort.
