show-stopping problem

[tamalon]

I have a major show-stopping problem.
Ive never had this problem before and have made countless choreography’s that work perfectly, but ever since I have re installed windows I have had this problem, I import it into hammer, and trigger with a tigger_once like I have done successfully hundreds of times….
…..When the choreograph ends, the voice wav keeps playing and keeps looping forever but the actor doesn’t lip-synch anymore, it just loops.

Heres a couple of things to take into consideration.
I have made a custom sound script for my actor. Again I have done this before without any problem.

Apart from one difference. Before I used the game_sounds_manifest that came with the noesis tutorial for source choreography (I don’t have it anymore since I re installed windows). This time I’m using the script in the episode 1 shared folder (accessible only by using GCFScape)

Also I say I made my own soundscript. But in fact I just used the one from the noesis tutorial and changed the names of the wav files.

For example: I made a txt file called npc_sounds_kyle and this is the first entry:
"kyle1"
{
"channel" "CHAN_VOICE"
"volume" "VOL_NORM"
"pitch" "PITCH_NORM"

"soundlevel" "SNDLVL_95dB"

"wave" "*kyle1.wav"
}

as I said before I changed the name to kyle from whatever it was, and it has worked perfectly before.

I then add npc_sounds_kyle.txt to the end of the game_sounds_manifest.

Which now looks like
game_sounds_manifest

I honestly cant think of anymore to say, the scripts folder the sound folder where the wav files are kept are in my episodic folder of the half life 2 episode 1 directory as they should be.

Im sorry for the shear length of this post. This is a problem I have been trying to solve for a while now.

Any information would be a great help.
