[QUOTE=suXin;50591497]I'm discussing the whole thing with my buddy, I thought about putting my agony on barnacle death and the buddy says:

"Take that facepunch logo model, shrink it and make barnacle spew it on death"

after that I thought he could spew dumb ratings instead (I have models somewhere), and I could code that shit.

if the redubbing will succeed, this project may go beyond[/QUOTE]

I don't know if I should do more songs, I feel that it would get old, and I really want to see what other (actually creative) minds can do.

Agree for no more songs
Disagree for many more songs
Optimistic for 1 - 3 more songs, spaced out far in the story.

The voice actor talks quietly, but Father is supposed to be screaming because he's far.[/QUOTE]

this song is really good and i think that it should stay as the one so it doesn't get old. especially because its perfect for the strider fight, which is supposed to be an intense moment

(as long as it doesn't break gameplay anywhere) make ammo cost nothing but instead of a grenade explosion it's just the melon

[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;50597978]No, make the SMG1 grenade shoot an actual melon physics prop[/QUOTE]

I'd make it shoot melons on alternate fire when you don't have any grenades left, and consume about 10 ammo.
and fuck it was the first time I dwelled into source's source code and I wasted 1-2 hours trying to set the velocity on this dreaded melon, only to realise that I used wrong function for that. :downs:
I have a sick animation idea for this attack if someone's interested - make an actual melon growing from the barrel before it'll be shot

next time I'll try slapping those Serious Sam kamikaze sounds on fast zombies

[QUOTE=HL_Tentacle;50598125]That hurts ears, not good for a mod where you want to hear everything.[/QUOTE]

[del]Partly disagree because there were shitload of barnacles up there, single barnacle doesn't rape your ear much, but still it should be lowered abit, it clips.[/del]
I take it back it's always terrible in headphones

[Hollywood SN]

Does the HEV suit model have normals? I forget.

On the discord we came up with an idea to change it to a hot pink color, covered in glitter, with little bejazzlered jewels on it, and girly as fuck stickers like a rainbow on his ass or hello kitty where the lambda should be.

Anyone got the HEV suits textures/normals (the worldmodel pickup and the first person hands) on hand? I wanna go take a crack at doing it.

I had a go at it with various voices. Mobster impressions aren't exactly my strongest area, especially when I have people at home and I'm trying to stay quiet so I don't have to explain why I'm talking like Mickey Cohen.

[QUOTE=suXin;50596970]When you record your lines make sure they're exactly of the same duration, if they're shorter - game seems to corrupt the line ending.[/QUOTE]

What if they're longer than the original sound files? The ones that are shorter I can just fill in the empty parts with silence, but if they're longer I might have to redo some lines. I'm determined to revoice every single male citizen/rebel line as cr1tikal so I need to know asap.

[Hidden Titan]

can we replace Triage at dawn with a midi version please?

I'm not sure how this might apply to HL2 but when I had a go replacing sounds for other Source games, I [i]always[/i] had to match the exact duration of the audio file to the original or else it would give me terrible garbled corruption noise. Don't know why or how it happens but yeah. Maybe it's the same in this case?

[QUOTE=HiddenShadow;50599535]can we replace Triage at dawn with a midi version please?[/QUOTE]

I've reserved that song.
I can actually make hand fart songs with almost no editing at all. I'll just have to layer the different "instruments" on top of each other.

I know this garbled corruption you speak of, I've experienced it many times in TF2 (even at sv_pure 0). I suppose I'll go give it a test and report my experience.

edit: Ugh...it's been a while since I've modded for HL2. Has something changed since their updates to the game? I can't seem to get my sounds to load into the game.

So we brainstormed some ideas in the discord, here's what we got so far:

Title: Cancer Life (?)
One of Gordon's eyes is just a tumor with an eye drawn on top and have a mirror so you can look at yourself
Passive aggressive D0G, barks to Alyx and talks to Gordon
Brexit/Trump Ravenholm + Scottish Grigori w/ haggis shotgun replacement
Crazy laugh manhacks
Pantless Gman (badda bing badda boom pantless)
Gay Kermit Breen
Paparazzi Scanner
Glitchy Mossman that plays dialup modem noises whenever she talks and dies at random, if she's supposed to show up it's just silence w/ cricket sound
Shopping mall citadel with announcements
Replace portal entrance with goatse (+ coach's scream from l4d2) or Gman's house where he's cooking with an apron but still no pants on
Orphanage Nova Prospekt
Flashback during teleporter scene with gman with pants down hinting at sex scene with breen
Replace office breen teleport scene with Mossman (banging her head into a wall?)
Replace kleiner's lab newspaper with "scientists baffled by man's ability to fuck up every time" with gordon's face
Add teleporter cat reference (body hidden in plain sight?)
Anime collection in kleiner's lab
Fat gamer advisor with Francis (boogie2988) clips
Dropship/Gunship screaming in pain
Chopper with giant speaker saying random shit
Overwatch Soldier with Hank Hill voice
Snipers replaced with kids (get noscoped etc)
Watermelon rollermine
Vortigaunt running screaming in pain during elevator scene at eli's lab
Random person inside elevator at eli's lab
Eli predicts his death during dialog with Alyx
Interrogation chamber that's also a gay bar with chains and whips + gimp mask, possible music playing as soon as gordon leaves
Ichthyosaur Magnusson going for a swim
Magnusson finishing off Gordon at the end of the game (casserole revenge)
Gman playing eurobeat whenever you can see him during gameplay and yelling "do dat thang" at gordon
Elevators making obnoxious noise (like fingers on a chalkboard)
Gay pedo odessa w/ badge photo of child Gordon
Barney is a homophobe with a confederate flag pin
Gman's ass uses Postal's for texture

[The Civ]

I kind of wanted all instances of Manhacks in the script to be replaced with Bees, so that there'd be Rebels and Citizens running around screaming about BEES.

[Rockeiro]

Any plans to use the wilhelm scream?

[jo291]

As a half-life fan of 15 years personally I have always felt that the crows were the most underwhelming part of the series, as a crow-kin this sound design in the game shames me deeply and I cant believe this is acceptable in modern gaming. I believe that as a crow I am the most qualified to voice the crows.

I imagined that the Nova Prospekt "Overwatch" system could actually be someone doing a high pitched Rick and Morty style voice who's really freaked out about what's going on.
Like, he keeps turning it on and saying stuff like [i]"Ah jeez, c'mon do you really gotta, y'know, have your bug friends eating all my guards? D-don't make me send out reinforcement! O- oh, do we have reinforcement? W-what? The reinforcement is dead? Ah jeez."[/i]

Okay I got it working and tried it out. Turns out longer sounds worked fine, though I discovered I [I]really[/I] need to up the volume of my voice. On that note I also noticed there was no lip syncing which I expected. I don't know if this has already been discussed or not but we should probably address this for characters whose lines we're replacing. I don't know anything about making proper lip syncing for NPCs since that's beyond my current knowledge atm, but is there anyone here who knows how to do it for when the time comes?
