Novasol posted:Yes, actually. You can go to steam/steamapps/common/left4dead/left4dead/scripts and edit RadialMenu.txt to accommodate whatever vocals you want. That will have the default radial menus in there, you can either change those, or make new radial menus. To do that, I'd just copy/paste one of the existing ones to use as a template, but change the name and the vocals it's calling on. For example, change "Orders" on the first one to "Francis" in your new copy of the radial menu). Then, you'll open the console ingame and bind the radial to a key. The format is bind key "+mouse_menu Radialnamehere" Nah, made perfect sense. Thanks!

It turns out most of the guys at The Escapist are crybabies. This is great. All but one of them talk about it like it's date rape. After finals I'm putting in Halo 3 again and hitting the MLG playlists

Orgophlax posted:Now most players that you find online in HDR are total scrubs (especially now with SF4 out), so its so easy to get a SPD loop going. Hit them once with it, walk up and crouching jab as they're getting up, another SPD. People ragequit so quickly. I'm too much of a scrub myself to do this reliably, but Dhalsim's is better anyway (and lasts longer since it does less damage). As most people here probably know, Dhalsim has a grab which every middle-schooler in the world independently named "Yoga Noogie," in which he gives you a noogie while shouting "YOGA YOGA YOGA YOGA" (to make matters worse, that word goes with virtually every move). There's a really simple infinite loop that sufficiently crappy players can't get out of. And since this throw doesn't put you on the ground like SPD you don't have to wait for them to get up. This is important because the sound effects barely pause. Therefore, a well-executed round creates the most infuriating sound in the English language: "YOGA YOGA YOGA YOGA"-whack-"YOGA YOGA YOGA YOGA"-whack-"YOGA YOGA YOGA YOGA"-whack-"YOGA YOGA YOGA YOGA"-death scream-"YOU WIN" McNerd fucked around with this message at 17:46 on May 5, 2009 |

wise old hitachi posted:Does it still work in campaign, and are people aware of it? It sounds fun. I haven't tried it since the big content patch. It's on my to-do list, though. Of all the times I used it on random strangers, nobody knew what it was. I was really hoping it would be left in the versus map, but alas, it wasn't. Every survivor has a trigger for it though, but the blocks are different. Bill's is fun to randomly confuse people with: "Son, we're tired, we're immune, and there's infected in the drat woods! Now cut out the poo poo and let us in!" Two more L4D stories, starting with... Operation: No Gas Can Left Behind Crouchwalking in Left 4 Dead does a few things. It obviously makes you slow as hell, but it also makes your guns more accurate, and removes your "aura" as long as you're not shooting. Infected teams rely on this aura to find you from far away, so if you have, say, an entire team of assholes just crouchwalking the whole map, they become simultaneously hard to kill and extremely annoying because they'll take 30 minutes to complete any given stage. So what does that have to do with the title of this one? Well, Blood Harvest 4 has a lot of expendable items, such as gas cans, propane tanks, and oxygen tanks. All these objects explode when shot, and the gas can spreads lots of fire. The key word here is expendable - nobody really cares about these things. On this particular griefing day, we decided to take it upon ourselves to save as many of these poor, under appreciated tools from Blood Harvest 4 as possible, with the stated goal of transporting every single one of them to the safe room. In doing so, we decided we were going to be very deliberate about it, and crouchwalk during the entire time. Since four survivors means you can only carry four of these items at once, we would actually deposit these items in the safe room and turn around to find more in the level. At one point, a tank came. We had to break the gimmick of crouchwalking, as well as sacrifice a gas can in order to set the thing on fire. We still prized the expendables more than each other though, often saving a dropped gas can before bailing out a teammate. Losing the gas can warranted a team singalong to Elton John's "Candle in the Wind," much to the chagrin of the enemy team, who was, of course, screaming at us to hurry the hell up, but not actually leaving since they got more time to play as their precious zombies this way. When asked why the hell we were doing this, we replied that in the event of a Mad Max scenario of resource scarcity, we weren't going to find ourselves at the mercy of roving gangs. We managed to get three gas cans and two propane tanks to the safe room. When the other team's turn came to be survivors, one pubbie had apparently seen the immense wisdom of our ways, and began to join in on the activity. In deference to his superior judgement, we allowed him to be the sole survivor of his team. My Heart Will Go On People get mad when they don't get to play as the zombies, so an easy way to grief is to get a commanding lead going into the finale, followed by team suicide. While any idiot can throw himself off the cliff in Blood Harvest 5, it takes a special brand of rear end in a top hat to kill one team member in the safe room, and then proceed to lead a group singalong of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" in memorial. We refused to leave until the song was finished, and every time the enemy team screamed at us to leave the room, we started the song over. One foreign member of the other team repeatedly called us "fat american pigdogs" despite two of us obviously being British. Eventually, we finished the song, and then flung ourselves off the cliff, meaning these people waited about 10 minutes, only to never really get to play as their precious zombies. Cue four ragequits. The most shocking thing about this though is that I apparently knew the words to "My Heart Will Go On," which is extremely frightening.

Novasol posted:Certain vocalize binds are hilariously glitched. The above-mentioned "Listen candypants..." bind had a very peculiar trait to it - in Death Toll 3, it would summon a gigantic horde of zombies. The reason for this is that this particular concept block occurs in game on this map, at the very end. Specifically, it's the trigger for an event that spawns tons of zombies that you have to kill before the safe room door opens up. This works because the area that this happens in is reasonably well fortified, whereas most of the rest of the level is wide, open space. At the time, the game couldn't tell the difference between the conceptblock being triggered by trying to open the safe room door, and some jackass simply binding it to a key. I just tried this again in single player and it seems they stealth patched it. Sometimes I used to just confuse people with that glitch. I'd start the phrase, but cancel it out by laughing so they wouldn't catch on. Then I'd wait for them to reach the end. Me: Alright guys, what's our strategy? Pubbie: Let's camp near the ammo table I guess. Me: Ok, you go set it off. Pubbie: WHY THE gently caress IS THE DOOR OPEN?! Me: I'm pretty sure that's a server glitch that happens once in a while. Let's just get in.

Lord Chumley posted:I just tried this again in single player and it seems they stealth patched it. That glitch led to bonus fun if you could manage to get half your team horderaped, then get into the saferoom without anyone seeing. Because virtually no-one knew that you could get in early, if you dodged inside and detonated a gascan on the floor while you climbed up the ladder, and slammed the door behind you, most people would stand around outside looking confused. You could further prolong this by hitting the voice bind again, which wouldn't summon a second horde, but would make the churchguy rant at you again, causing most pubbies to think that everything was normal. My personal favourite thing to do in L4D is to use medkits to hold my teammates in place while the tank is charging after them. Bonus points if you can do it in a position where the tank's punch will make them fall to their death. That, or waiting for someone to try and crown the witch, then handing them pills just as they fire the first shot. They'll enrage it, but then autoswitch to the pills, preventing them from finishing it off before it mauls them.

Oh God, the L4D speech stuff sounds hilarious. I wish there was a way to do it on the 360 version, but alas all I can do is go as Louis and spam "Bill" all the way through the game. For some reason I find the way Louis says "Bill" really funny, it's the slight surprise in one of the samples that gets me. Just spamming names is enough to drive people made over voice chat (especially if you refuse to use voice chat) and it's even better when other people start joining in, spamming Bill or the name of the guy who is currently raging.

Though the server side hole weapon spawning may be patched, I would think you can still do the voice stuff to some extent in the 360 version via similar methods. This is assuming that Valve only patched their 360 servers and not the client. This is just a speculation though.

I was pretty disappointed in the griefing video on The Escapist as well. They were all talking like they had their childhoods ruined when they were missing the entire point (I think) that pushes the people who do it to gently caress with people like them. The complete irony that you would get so worked up over something you're supposed to be playing for fun is the humor, not just being an rear end in a top hat. At least in my experience, that's the case.

For me, it's about the art of griefing. Anyone can shoot all their teammates in the back, or jump off a cliff, but it takes luck and skill to lure an ally into a small room with the Witch, and watch through the glass panel in the door as it slowly rises up behind them while they frantically try and open the door which you keep slamming in their face and ohgoditsonitsfeetandAAARRRRGGHHHHH!

Digging through the conceptblocks when I was writing my first vocalize scripts I ran across one very special one for Zoey that makes Louis say "Nothing can stop us! DO YOU HEAR ME!?! NOTHING. CAN. STOP. US." followed by every other survivor laughing. I've found some less obnoxious ones for other characters silently triggering responses from another survivor since then but the Zoey one is always my favorite. No one is really impressed by vocalize spams but when they start freaking out because their guy keeps shouting the same thing it gets pretty funny. Or they get votekicked over it. I only ever 'fess up if I'm playing with other goons. I'm not sharing the Zoey conceptblock, sorry. Also I know of vocalize AskForHealth2 but I swear there is another one that has a separate set of lines for each character where they practically beg for a medkit in a way that makes other people feel really guilty. Does anyone know the good one that normally gets triggered very rarely when a player is black and white?

There's one for Bill which not only starts with a really loving annoying "ARRRR" noise (when repeated) but it also cancels out all other character voices so noone else can talk at all. Cue binding it to every single key. Also I've got the one that makes Francis say "whatever, and all they got is this goddamn tapeloop?" but I only ever spam it when I'm far away from Francis (if I rush this happens easily) and they'll start blurting out "whatever" repeatedly for seemingly no reason.

I'm no good at Street Fighter 4, and I'm especially terrible with Dhalsim. What I AM good at is dragon punch motions. And you know what move uses the dragon punch motion? The YOGA TELEPORT. It's very easy to drive Live players into hysterics by tapping them once with a long-range attack and spending the rest of the battle YOGA TELEPORT-ing around.

Sanctum posted:I'm not sharing the Zoey conceptblock, sorry. It's ConceptBlock657. There, I ruined your "fun." Incidentally, ConceptBlock659 triggers it when you're playing as Louis. It's fun to string it together with his other vocalize binds. "I bet your country rear end DOES like this trailer... THAT'S WHY WE SHOULD CALL OURSELVES THE UNSTOPPABLES." Also, "Interesting true story..." is fun to use randomly. I've heard some people get mad at Francis for interrupting because they really wanted to hear about the local township. This is still nothing compared to my "pro Bill mode" though. It's a script I run that makes Bill randomly say "Mother of Mercy!" "Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" or "Aaaaaugh" every time I move or jump. You get interesting results with it if you use it with Louis too.

I guess that's what I hadn't known. EDIT: I guess in the corner, yeah, forgot about that. But I don't even consider that griefing; if Zangief crams you in the corner hard enough to do a loop like that, you're pretty screwed, and that's how it's supposed to be. Zangief's loops are intended to virtually break the game once you're in position to start them up. Dhalsim's are just cheap for the poor bastards that don't know how to get away.

I used to play a PK mud EOTL. Which was pretty much all greifing I guess but it was mostly a game of survival if you weren't 300 or higher. Anyways I found a place where you could buy grenades, and they had backpacks that you could close. So I set a macro to pull pin on grenade - put grenade in backpack - close backpack - hand backpack to player X, and watch.

Entertaining Griefing that we got known for: http://kotaku.com/gaming/wow/terrorist-guild-holds-wow-server-hostage-155844.php Alternatively, non-stop PvE Griefing for outdoor raid bosses, including standards of paying off Horde guilds to kill Alliance tanks, distracting bosses to keep Guilds from tagging them, and my favorite: During a fight with Azuregos, a giant blue dragon that teleports everyone near by to him(her?). Azuregos was being fought by another alliance guild at the time, with horde in the area to kill us. Our tank ran to Azuregos, taunted, shield walled, and ran for the edge of the map. Once Azurgos got close to the edge of the map, he used his teleport and the entire guild plus horde fighting him fell to their death off the ledge. Azuregos reset, and my guild was sitting back waiting as they tagged him and got the kill before the death debuffs wore off of our competition.
