I know about normal caption mods but how do I make it so I can change what the captions say? I have voice mods and want to make it so the captions are the same as the sound but I don't know how to change what it says...anyone?

I did. And so far when I changed the captions it didn't change it in-game. It only uses the old ones

Sounds like you changed the .txt but didn't get it to compile properly. If so, using a compile script or dropping the .txt on common\Team Fortress 2\bin\captioncompiler.exe should compile it.
