 Re: Removing HEV suit sounds

Hi.

I'm currently working on a HL1 mod. I want to remove the sounds that the HEV suit makes such as "ammunition depleted" and all that because the player is supposed to play as a scientist. Not Gordon.

I found that those HEV sounds are located in "fvox" in the sound folder so I removed it. But the sounds are still in Half Life. How is the game still using sounds that have been deleted? :u

Any help is appreciated.

It probably replaced them from the cache file when the game saw they were missing.

You should, instead of deleting them, replace them with silent sound files and see if that works.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Unfortunately I don't really know how to make/edit Half Life sounds. I've made .WAV sounds before but the last time I made one and placed it into the HL sound directory it didn't work.

Grab Audacity, it's a sound editor. You might have to mimic the audio file that's there already.

"Mono 11025Hz 8-bit PCM WAV file" is apparently what is required. It's not difficult to create in Audacity.

Alright. I think I have Audacity buried somewhere in this massive junk-yard that I call my hard-drive.

Are there any tutorials you know of that I could follow? Or should I just goof around until I figure it out?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Boy I sure do love how almost everybody I come across who helps me out just vanishes after just a little while. :I

Too late.

You can look up how to use Audacity, I already listed the format information for the audio file, outside of that, you need to figure it out on your own.

After much experimenting I found that each message-line must use a 'game_text' assigned to a 'channel number' ie; the first message-line is assigned to 'channel1' and the next message-line to 'channel2', etc. Since there are only 4 channels no more than 4 lines can be shown. Also the Y position (vertical lines) are separated by just 0.5 that is line 1 is at 0.1 and the next line should be 0.15
