Adds subtitles to generic Civil Protection response system.
Current version: v3.7 (13-Jan-2024)
Installation instructions included in the ZIP file!
Entropy Zero: Uprising unfortunately does not include any form of closed captions for the generic response system of civil protection units. This is a remnant of vanilla HL2 that simply only didn't include them (but included closed captions for every little thing the citizens/rebels said...). This addon aims to fix it by adding subtitles to these lines.
This addon is actually a port of male07's closed captions mod for HL2, with adjustments made to fit EZ:U's narrative. According to the original description other modders may use his subtitles for their own mods/addons as long as they credit, so here is my variant.
Changes/Features:
- adds subtitles to most of the Civil Protection lines of the generic response system (combat, idle etc.), except for a few lines (e.g. scripted sequences).
Note: You will start seeing the subtitles around map upr_01_04. A lot of the Uprising metrocops encountered through the game use silent response systems (no subtitles needed) or custom response systems (already subtitled).
- most Overwatch Soldiers and some Overwatch Voice lines intended for Civil Protection have also been subtitled
- fixed some issues with some sound files not playing
- without spoiling anything: adds subtitles to a specific character type introduced at the end of the game
Hopefully I didn't forget or break anything. Notify me if you find issues. Feel free to reuse this mod as a base for your own HL2 projects.
Unfixable issues:
- some names, numbers and locations are dynamically assigned, but there is no way to account for that in the subtitle system. As such some subtitles will not 100% match the voice lines in some callouts
