Creating subtitles for Half-Life Source.

Half-Life Series
#1

Hi!
I’m creating subtitles for HLS and it’s going very well. Thanks to sentences.txt i can create subtitles for all dialogues in game (like in HL2, using tokens for each dialogue). Example: For SC_LJUMP scientist/c2a5_sci_ljump {Len 17.31 closecaption SC_LJUMP) from sentences.txt i am using “SC_LJUMP” "Bla bla bla… " in closecaption_XXXX.txt. But i have a small problem right now. A few scripted scenes are not using tokens from sentences.txt. Example: The whole audio during “Black Mesa Inbound” ("Good morning and welcome in Black Mesa… "). The maps c0a0.bsp-c0a0e.bsp are using that for example: “message” “tride/c0a0_tr_gmorn.wav”. Whithout token i can’t add subtitles. My qestion is: It’s possible to add subtitles for these trigered dialogues without modifing maps? If yes, how do that?

You sound like an insanely specific adbot advertising sentences.txt.

#3

Good thing you are doing this, I’ve always wanted to do it myself but I was just too lazy. When you are done with this, let me know it, I’d love to translate it in french.

#4

It’s not possible for those sounds, AFAIK. They’re done with Ambient_generics.

Afraid not,

I’ll let you know. I will send you a message with link (when it’s done).

Awesome, I’ve seen many people try and fail, I hope you don’t though.

thanks for answering my question, guys :slight_smile:

By the way, this is an example of this project. Take a look on it:

How’s the going?
Sorry for bumping.

Are you doing an English one?

#11

Still working on it (92%/100%). Now translating the last one: Black Mesa Announcement System.

Nope. Only Polish subtitles. Most of dialogues I’m translating by hearing.

#12

sound good…
Is the sub in HLS same as the HL?

#13

Oh! I shouldn’t asked like that…
but is it easy to modify the game (i mean subtitle)

#14

Hmm. If you mean HLS: yes.

#15

really? I dunno where to put my sub… what kind of file I should edit?..

Everyone who wants to look at my finished work, feel free to download it:

Half-Life: Source (Polish translation)

#17

Is this what you meant?

#18

Yes. This is my updated translation :slight_smile:

#19

Can someone make it into English? Any translating of all those words makes my PC crash.
