[QUOTE=Matsilagi;38693388]Finally!
Something that doesnt risk a VAC ban for pretty graphics in HL2.
I have managed to achieve similar things with ENBSeries.
Like this:

You sure you didn't confuse downloading ENB with smearing vaseline on your monitor?
[QUOTE=Fat-Corgi-Guy;38695303]Actually, I was hoping to change some of the uncommon Citizen voice lines. Such as some of the guys in the train station.
EDIT:
[I]Why all the dislikes?[/I] You guys [I]seriously[/I] don't want [I][B]ANY[/B][/I] variety at all in the voices? [I][B]why[/B][/I]? What if the voices were actually done by good voice actors and actresses, ones that can actually add inflections in their voices, and have practiced this sort of thing (Like I have)?[/QUOTE]
If you really want to, you should just add new lines in addition to the old ones, rather than replacing any.

If you add more though, then you'd want them to sound like the originals, other wise it would sound out of place. Where as if you actually changed the voice actors of some of the lines, then it adds verity without sounding out of place.
I'll make up a test to show you what it's like soon.

I don't know, I've grown attached to the signature voice of citizens. Even if it was high quality voice acting, I think it would bother me.
If anything, just give specific (Newly-added) citizens unique voices. There's atleast two cases in Episode 2 where a rebel is voiced by an entirely different voice actor. (Sheckley and one minor rebel at the garage.)
I kind of think that there should be citizens with wide amount of accents instead of just american etc considering how most of those citizens were most likely from around the world before the invasion.
Why don't we contribute random voice clips?
Then we can feel like we actually helped.
I always thought that was kind of lazy of valve, to only have 2 voice actors for the male / female citizens / rebels
[QUOTE=Barbarian887;38722828]I always thought that was kind of lazy of valve, to only have 2 voice actors for the male / female citizens / rebels[/QUOTE]
But that alone is about the number of voice actors for the first Half-Life.
Or at least have the voice actors do a load of different voices.

Also the fact that Half-Life 2 occurs in Europe. Russia too, one of the strongest accents and nothing.
[QUOTE=Burgervich;38726008]Also the fact that Half-Life 2 occurs in Europe. Mostly Russia too.[/QUOTE]
No, not russia.
The gas station had swedish signs on them, and C17 is based in a town in Poland.
Eastern Europe. Nothing more is said to us actually.
Also, if you need a VA, I might do it. I am from Estonia (Can be considered eastern europe), but 14 and with an eh quality microphone.
I'm fifteen but I've got a bass singing voice, and I'm an American of Lithuanian descent. Lithuania is super eastern Europe. Plus, I'm huge. All Lithuanians are. I say you should throw a few extra people into an easter egg that's accessed through a certain alley in Ravenholm where you find a bunch of guys who actually survived the missle attack but are too scared to go out there because a crazy guy's shooting everything he sees and thinks he's a priest.
It'll just be a place full of ammo and health and it'll have a TV showing the HL2 logo with the Facepunch logo in the center and the whole thing is red.
[sp]you dont have to do that but that would be rad yo[/sp]

You are right, however in Episode 2 you PROBABLY travel to Russia since in the first level you have a sign:
[t]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120621204241/half-life/en/images/0/0f/Sign_victorymine_03.png[/t]
(Translates to Victory Mine)
That is Russian. It would make since because of the fact that you used a train to escape City 17 and it probably stopped in Russia.
(Although I guess we we're talking about Hl2 not Ep2 but the same error still applies.)

Except for the fact that in EP2, they're in Sweden or Finland.
they're in nowhere because it's a fictional world
According to the Half Life wiki, [url=http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/City_17#Background_and_origins_of_City_17]It might be Sofia, Bulgaria or Riga, Latvia.[/url]
Then it appears that Hl2 occurs everywhere in Europe at once

That's HL2, I thought we were now on the subject of EP2? which is what my comment was on.

How do you know it's in Sweden or Finland?
The only signs I've seen around are either in Russian or in English. Even the environment looks Russian (other than the advanced technology and absence of heroin). Half-Life 2 definitely had a Russian style to it along with a smaller mix of other places.
Also, take note of the broken vehicles in the game - every single one of them resembles a Russian/Ukrainian vehicle.
[QUOTE=Burgervich;38732004]How do you know it's in Sweden or Finland?[/QUOTE]
The gas pumps in EP2, they have Swedish writing on them.
from the wiki:
[quote]The exact location remains vague, with signs in Russian still hinting at a generic Eastern European setting, although gas pumps with the prices displayed in Swedish have added to the confusion.[/quote]
Further more, the surroundings resemble that of Sweden, or Finland (I have been to both). Also, the types of trees.

The gas pumps are probably a mistake considering the fact that they reuse props a lot, and Russia has forests too. I can't imagine a company going back just to retexture a prop for a one time use.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

City 17 isn't a real location, but it could be [I]set[/I] in a real location.
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;38732249]guys it's not in a real world location
jesus[/QUOTE]The game is set in an alternate universe in which the location resembles the one we can find in the real world. Your logic is valid, but you are basically stating that nothing is set in a real world location unless it actually happened in reality (thus, any fictitious work is not set in any real world location).
I lived in Russia for most of my life, and the environment of Half-Life 2 closely resembles the one you would find there (with the exception of aliens and stuff like that).

That and the signs in Victory Mine just have that old Soviet-Russian look to them
One of the signs also states that it's the 50th anniversary of some event, and with the name, "Victory Mine," it is guessed that it is some memorial towards World War 2 making the fact that it was in Soviet Russia a possibility.
