If you are not coming from default chatpack, the TE chatpack comes with 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:

Your link appears broken.

http://sites.google.com/site/tehbadp/mods/...chatpack1-0.zip works though.

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

Looks good. I made a version of it which uses the default VC combos (as much as possible), as opposed to TE's. I also changed the headers so they're easily readable in-game. Check it out.

Clicking them will cause an "Oops, wrong voice chat" to be sent to the chat. I'd still like to cut through this corner.

However, you cannot select them with the keyboard, so that shouldn't be a problem. :)

Badp, you are a genius !
This is an amazing UI improvement.
The sub menu division is beyond awesome.
I do however prefer Juckto's style of headings: - - - TITLE - - - instead of _TITLE________
The ellipsis are weird at first but it's the right way to do it. Much better than the previous repetitive wall of text.
Anyone who can't find the right VC with this pack must not have an idea what he wants to say.

One tiny bug to report:
The OLD Eyed/not VCs (`i1 1i2) give something about shipyard instead ...
The plain ones are fine.
I'm using the TE version BTW.
