Minimized Trader Chatter

[h1] This mod is compatible with the English version of Killing Floor 2 only!

This mod has to be installed in a slightly different way than my other sound mods, so please read the instructions carefully! [/h1]

======================================== Overview ======================================== This is the full version of a mod I made long ago that only worked for the default French trader woman. Now it works with all the current ones (default, hans, lockheart, patriarch, santa).

Minimized =/= Silent

There's a different method to completely silence the traders that seems to work for me but not everyone (most likely because there's a very specific way to do it), and until this method stops working I won't waste my time on making that the same way I made this.

Scroll down to "Popular Discussions" to read about how I completely silence traders!

What "Minimized" Means

In this case, "Minimized" means that the trader speaks just about as often as the one from KF1 does. This means that they'll only tell you:

• when the game starts
• when the wave is almost over
• when the wave has ended
• when trader time is almost over
• when trader time is over and the next wave is starting
• when the next wave is the boss wave
• when a weapon is too heavy to buy (only happens when double-clicking the weapon)
• when a weapon is too expensive to buy (only happens when double-clicking the weapon)
• objective callouts/reminders (for objective mode & stand your ground objectives in survival)
• miscellaneous instructional lines from gamemodes that don't exist yet

This mod is for people who enjoy the company of a trader but don't want them giving you purchase suggestions, advice, complimenting/insulting your performance, and stating the obvious in general.
