Zoey German Voice | Zoey Deutsche Stimmen

Description
Changes Zoey's voices to the German dub. You normally get this by right clicking the game > Properties > Language > Deustch, then the game updates and you can find the files in the game's folder > left4dead2_dlc3_GERMAN

I made this for people that want -just- Zoey to sound German.
No soundcache, but it -should- work immediately without GCFScape stuff.
Tell me if there's fax machine/screeching sounds because that means I need to learn how to make sound cache.
Alternatively, try running snd_rebuildsoundcache and restart game when loading bar is full.

personal note: there is Jo's Bizzaire voice guide which may or may not be able to fix every problem these voice mods have. WILL I ACTUALLY DO THAT THOUGH!?!? DUN DUN DUNNNNN

thanks! i'd love to fix rochelle and zoey but alas, there's so much things I wanna do instead. (fixing the voicelines is extremely tedious lol)
i appreciate you telling me you enjoyed it <3

Honestly, the mix of english and german voices isn't too distracting to me since I switch between the two languages every so often, but it would be nice if there were an update to this that would fix the mod to make the english lines not appear. Other than that, it's a great mod my friend, you did a good job on all of the characters.

Other games like Fire Emblem use voiced dialogue for important scenes and pure text for the rest, and since L4D2 has subtitles I believe silence works fine for "story" dialogue (but not important things like spotting .
Personally, BloodRayne in non-English voices got irritating really fast because all of the spoken dialogue was done by the dub actor, but the game's action voices (jumping, taking damage) are still done by the English voice actor Laura Bailey - not the same person. It was like Rayne was 2 characters in one for no good reason. So yeah, silence is probably less distracting.

For putting silence, you can look into using Macros so that you could automate things like pasting in silence, saving the file as WAV, with a single button stroke.
Audacity has it and it's not so bad. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions there.

Oh, and nice to meet another Lammy enjoyer :)

Yeah I understand how much work it can be. I was actually working on her French voice lines myself. They have a tendency to pop at the end since the files aren't the exact same length, so going through manually and generating silence at the end is the only way to fix it. It's very tedious.

Also, I think the cause of the multilingual voice lines simply comes down to missing files for the DLCs (The Parish and The Sacrifice). They either never got dubbed or never got included in L4D2's files. I was considering just dummy-ing them with empty .wavs, but between silence or english lines I'm not sure which would be more distracting.

Thanks for the report!
For the multilingual sound, I'll have to check if redownloading the voices fixes the issue, but that will be after I upload the entire German set, Spanish, French ...

It -is- possible to simply find the identical-to-English files by using a program that can compare two folder's file sizes together and use Audacity's Punch Copy/Paste plugins to fix them with existing lines, but that's a lot of work I don't see myself doing anytime soon.

No screeching, but it'll crash when you try to play as Zoey without rebuilding the sound cache. Doesn't crash if you pick someone else though, and all the voice lines will work fine too. It's a shame the dub doesn't cover all her voice lines and she ends up being multilingual.

Feel free to report screechy sound, honestly.
I don't know how well this mod works on a L4D2 install that has never used snd_rebuildaudiocache. And thanks for trying the mod!
