VoxCaster

A Darktide mod (requires the Darktide Mod Framework) that lets you put any of your character's on-demand voice lines on the communication wheel or on a keybind.

98 lines, in five groups:

Group	What	Examples
Com wheel	The vanilla wheel lines + the two the wheel never shows	Yes, No, Thanks, My Pleasure, Take This
Item	Every item-tag callout	Ammo, Medipack, Stimms, Grimoire, Vacuum Capsule
Enemy	Every enemy-tag callout	Scab Gunner, Trapper, Crusher, Daemonhost (sleeping/awake)
Ability	Class ability lines	Hive Scum - Missile Launcher, Voice of Command, Bull Rush, Chorus
Blitz	Grenade / throw lines	Krak, Big Rock, Grenade Box, Tox, Flash

Com wheel, item and enemy lines work on every character. Ability and blitz lines only play on the class/personality that owns them (the game's dialogue rules check your voice profile), and some require enemies nearby.

Install

Copy the VoxCaster/ folder into Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE/mods/ and add VoxCaster to mod_load_order.txt.

Configure

Mod Options → VoxCaster:

• Eight dropdowns, one per wheel slot. Anything you pick replaces the vanilla entry in that slot.
• Five keybind groups. Bind any line to any key.

Keeping it up to date

Fatshark adds classes and lines over time. This repo tracks the decompiled game source so new lines can be added the moment they show up there.

python3 tools/check_upstream.py

verifies every trigger in the mod still exists in the game and lists any new ones the mod doesn't expose yet. A GitHub Action runs it every Monday and opens an issue when something changes. To add a line:

1. Add one entry to VoxCaster_commands.lua (com, item, enemy, ability or blitz) with the next free id.
2. Add the matching option_<key> string to VoxCaster_localization.lua.
3. Re-run the checker until it says Up to date.

How it works

Each command is a (concept, trigger) pair fed to the same Vo.* call the game itself uses:

Group	Call
Com wheel / item / enemy	Vo.on_demand_vo_event(unit, concept, trigger)
Ability	Vo.play_combat_ability_event(unit, vo_tag)
Blitz	Vo.throwing_item_event(unit, projectile_template)

Enemy callouts pass the breed name as the tag with no target unit, which the game accepts. Vo.on_demand_vo_event is hooked so ability/blitz entries on the wheel are routed to the right call.

Originally based on the "For the Vacuum Capsule" mod.
