Hey there everyone!
I checked the forum for this one, but didnt get anything.

I was wondering whether you can add sound files to Half Life and let them be spoken by a scientist.

I've imported test.wav to a new folder in the pak file called custom.
If I run the game and type 'play custom/test" it does play the file, but I cannot get a scripted_sentence to associate to it.

I've tried to replace, remake and delete the sentences.txt in the pak file, with an additional line:

SC_TEST0 custom/test

but it wouldn't let me safe the edited sentences.txt in the pak file (invalid file name) ??.

Any ideas? I need a fairly quick response!!

Thx!

You don't need to replace the file in the PAK, just put it in C:SierraHalf-Lifevalvesound (or wherever it is for you).

Umm,, when I made my own sound for HL (Ut was for barney.. He was going tu say: MUHAHAHA :P)
he didn't even move his mouth!

Yes, I made a scentence of it in the scentence txt file.. But it didn't work..
>_<

What did you name the sentence line for test.wav?
ex

HGRUNT_IDLE "speak"

If you wanted to use this,

Then in Hammer Instead of writing HGRUNT_IDLE(to be spoken) you would simple put a "!" in front of it--

HGRUNT_IDLE now becomes
!HGRUNT_IDLE,

The ! tells the engine to look in the Sentences.txt file.

Oh In your case

!SC_TEST0

Sorry for the double post

No, the ! tells HL to play a specific sentence rather than a random one from a group.

Take a look at my mod called HLywood in the completed map vault. I replaced the normal sentences with sound bites form various movies. Here's a previous post that explains how it is done.
