This is a small pet project of mine that aims to remove the useless cruft that has formed since day one in the quick chat menu. Starting off the popular Tigereye chatpack (without the Z taunts), I've already cut out some crap few will look back to. I also completely muted other quickchats that are only there to make your life miserable, trying to help against the VC spam.

Oh lookie! It's out!

TigerEye style: (with his reorganised entries and keys, new menus (QUESTIONS, FOUND, INBOUND) and the Z chats.)




Summary of changes from TE:

> Removed and muted spammy or long and uninformative quickchats -- full list below -- plus the Z chats, which are not included
> Removed access to most of the dupes and cruft and the worst ten voted taunts
> Rearranged taunts according to preference
> Added sections to the menus -- now quickchats are grouped logically (for example: under YELL there's TACTICAL, SALUTATIONS, YAY and NOES)
> Changed a few keys; where possible, the old keys still work (in the OLD sections). The Taunts menu had to be completely rearranged, however.
> Changed '7 to Go, Go, Go! ('6 is still "I need help!")
> Changed a few keys; where possible, the old keys still work (in the OLD sections)
> This chatpack now also works with a vanilla sounddef.mdl and requires no new sound files. (It actually requires a few less) :D

Installing:
Backup your quickchat.mdl :sad: Download this file (version 1.0.2 bug fix :doh: ) -- Thanks Spinoza!Pick your version and unzip the one file in the Artwork folder (yes, replace the file :sad: )...Profit?

Technical detail: The points with the frowny faces could have been avoided had Alleg R4 kept true to his changelog -- supposedly Alleg should use artwork/dev/quickchat.mdl before artwork/quickchat.mdl should the former exist. This would be a Good Thing for a mod such as this, but I couldn't manage to replicate this behaviour. :sad:

"Find nickel iron?" "They're pursuing Ordinance?" Where are these voice chats from?

Sounds good but I'm used to the original VC keys. Could you make two versions with the smaller menus and all the annoying ones muted?

Nice to see the last three posts replete with informed and educated debate on the matter.

I challenge the last three posters to recall every one of the ~350 voice chats without sneaky tools or other skulduggery.
