custom voices

Hi its me  Half-dude,

Hi all, I wanted to know how to record a voice then make the caracter's mouth move to it. please help my mod depends on it.  

or recomind someone to ask.

First, you'll need to record the dialogue. The scientists' files were PCM audio format, 11 kHz sample rate, 8 bit sample size, and 88kbps bit rate. Then you'll need to change the sentences.txt in YOUR (the one your making) mods directory. You might find a tutorial on that here, or check out collective.valve-erc.com

can it actually be done, i know that in  HL the characters lips move exactly as they do in real life when they speak, but in the origional... Beyond what i know if u can though.

All you need to do is create the wave file as R@lph said and then give it a name under sentences.txt and the rest will be done for you. It doesn't work like it does in HL2, where you have to use "Face Poser" for the sentences. You just specify it. The sounds work on frequency or amplitude or something. The mouth is essentially a single hinge where the bigger the amplitude/frequency/whatever the wider the mouth opens. Doesn't need anything special.

Thanks all for the help. :smile:
