Extended Captions and Dialogue

***Caption changes apply to the ENGLISH language captions only!*** A similar add-on exists to improve the Spanish language captions, though - you can get it from here.


My attempt at enhancing the game's subtitles with cleaner formatting and extra closed captions, as well as a rework of the NPC response system to restore unused voice lines and of individual lines to fix missing lip sync and other things.

-Cleaned up closed captions to remove awkward formatting (overused punctuation, ellipses, etc) and make formatting style consistent with official Half-Life captioning
-Broke up certain captions for longer audio
-Fixed accuracy/grammatical errors
-Changed mentions of "Vortigaunt" to "Alien Slave" (in line with HL1 nomenclature)
-Added captions for the HEV suit
-Added captions for a certain door
-Re-added some closed captioning from HL2
-Extended captioning to all NPCs, including Xen-exclusive ones
-Added captions for various scripted scenes and gameplay objects, including in Xen
