How to micspam effectively on TF2 servers without HLDJ

[Egonny]

A lot of people have been asking me, so here it is:

1. Download VAC and install it (you need to buy it or use the trial).

2. Configure one virtual audio line (I don't remember how exactly, but it should set up a standard one on install)

3. Go to your Windows config panel and go to your sound devices (I won't go into detail here, as it's really not difficult) and set your virtual audio line (Line 1 for me) as recording device.

4. Get your favorite media player and set that audio line as your speaker (I prefer to use WMP, but it might work on other players too).

5. Now everyone else can hear you micspamming, but you can't hear it yourself! Just open an Audio Repeater (Start -> Programs -> Virtual Audio Cable -> Audio Repeater), set Wave In to your virtual audio line, and your wave out to your speakers and minimize it.

Congratulations! Now you can micspam on any server!

cptangry specifically disabled micspamming on purpose, fyi. There's a reason it doesn't easily work.

Sorry, but people kept asking me for it and you can still, you know, mute people if you don't like it.
If Cpt.Angry wants to delete this topic, he can.

I don't mind mic spam (Song at the end of donkey kong country 2 to play at the end of a round = Great) , I just don't want to hear OverusedSong.mp3

This sounds like a reasonably easy way to micspam, but the fun of it has gone for me. It was good at the time but you would end up with 3 people playing micspams over each other and therefore not being able to properly hear 1. Muting still works, but in theory could you not put your own files into the gcf and tell it to play them, and therefore not be able to be muted?

Protip: If at any point you feel the need to micspam, do the world a favor and kill yourself. Thanks!
