TF2ChatToTTS

TF2 Chat To TTS is an exteneral script/app, made using TypeScript and Deno, that reads from a TF2 Log File and prints out any chat messages. Note: This is tested and built for windows since it relys on Microsoft TTS voices.

(THIS SHOULD ALSO WORK FOR ANY SOURCE GAME BUT I HAVE ONLY TESTED IT WITH Team Fortress 2)

Features:

• Team Only mode
• Filter Out "Trade Chat"
• Swear Filter:
  • None (no filter)
  • Light (slurs and extremes)
  • Heavy (Filters Everything basically)
• Changable TTS Voice
• Disable the reading of names

Requirements:

Note: there are no compiled binaries due to Deno not supporting the compiling of NPM & Node packages, so it will have to be started by command line or a bat file.

• Deno

TF2 Setup:

• Open Steam
• Find Team Fortress 2 In your library
• Right click on the name in the library
• Click "properties"
• Under launch options add: +con_logfile "FILENAME.log" (change "Filename" to whatever you want the file to be named: Default is "ttslog")
• Start game.

App Setup:

• Download the Latest Version of Deno.
• Download the Latest Version of TF2 Chat To TTS.
• Extract it to the location of your choosing.
• Optional: edit the config "-settings.json" (Only change the "consoleLogFile" and "autoStart" options)
• Open the folder in Terminal or CMD.
• Start the TTS using the Line:

deno --unstable run --allow-ffi --allow-net --allow-write --allow-read --allow-run app.ts 

How to get More TTS voices:

You can change the TTS voice using the windows built-in voices, go to this url in your browser: ms-settings:speech

Known issues:

• (Possibly Fixed) Sometimes when starting the app it will crash with a "Not Ready State" error, run it again it should fix itself.
• Some languages may not get printed out by the TTS (blame javascript)

Future roadmap:

• redo basically all of the tts window layout
• compile into an exe when NPM is supported by deno
• allow players to have a different voice than default (set by user)
