Installation and Setup

Installation

Using the .zip is simple enough. Extract the .zip, then move the folder into custom. That's it.

Next thing you need to do is add the following line to your autoexec.cfg.

closecaption 1
cc_subtitles 1
cc_lang clovervidiar
cc_predisplay_time 0

If you want to use the competitive captions instead, add this to your autoexec.cfg instead of the previous one.

closecaption 1
cc_subtitles 0
cc_lang clovervidiac
cc_predisplay_time 0

Some (Optional) Setup Required

There are a couple steps you will need to take in case you also want the captions to run when you switch classes.

For example, when you switch to Scout, it will notify you that the binds have loaded, and also that the Scout config file has been loaded as well.

Class-Specific Configs

I'm assuming you already have class-specific .cfg files already made.

Inside each, place the following at the top:

cc_emit #<class>.Loaded

replacing <class> with the name of the .cfg you are editing.

This will show the following caption upon each class change:

<class> config loaded.

It is just a guarantee that makes sure you know when the class-specific .cfg's are run.

Reset Configs

If you have a .cfg that resets your binds between classes, there is an additional caption to notify you when that .cfg runs too.

Add the following to that .cfg:

cc_emit #Binds.Loaded

This will show the following caption whenever your resetting .cfg is run:

<B>All binds properly loaded.

Additionally, make sure that you run the resetting .cfg before the cc_emit in each class .cfg.

A layout similar to this is optimal:

exec <reset>
cc_emit #<class>.Loaded

Disable Voice Captions

If you only want captions for use in scripting, you can disable the voice captions with the following command:

cc_subtitles 1

Competitive Captions in clovervidiar

If, for whatever reason, you have closecaption_clovervidiar and want to try out the Competitive Captions with the "class buffed" and "class hurt a bit" and all, just do a quick:

cc_subtitles 0

and they will be activated. Set cc_subtitles to 1 to deactivate them.

Read more about competitive captions on the Captioned Items page.

And that's all there is to it

If you wish to edit these captions, use the editor linked in the sidebar to compile the .txt into a usable .dat file.

One more thing, updating the .zip

Whenever I release a new version, I will upload the new .zip to Dropbox, but the link on the project home will still be correct.

Just download it and overwrite the old one.
