Half-life 2 sound files for Synapse's HL2 pack

These are the original HL2 sound files, to be used together with Synapse's HL2 pack. This should fix the lipsync issues if this is important for you. Just replace the original sound folder inside your half-life 2 install directory. - remove hl2/sound in your HL2 folder - unpack with 7zip the hl2sounds.7z - move the new sound folder to hl2/ - play! Now, the lipsync should work.

Why are the sound files alone almost as big as Synapse's HL2 pack, even when they're compressed? Seems kind of suspicious.

capent_ind (2009-07-30)

arata75 - Because this is the uncompressed original sound files. The Synapse's pack compressed all of then using ogg (who are decompressed by the custom install script back to wav files, which is the procedure who break the speech recognition routines that makes the lip sync work, who is not really a great loss of functionality, since Synapse managed to reduce a 3.2gb game to 844mb). Just to give you a example of how much oggenc can shrink a wav file, if you encode the br_collaboration01.wav, it will go from 1.4mb to 140kb at 128kbps VBR. The ideal solution to make just the lip sync work would be selecting the files used by dialogs (the sound\vo folder), but this folder alone is the largest of them, thus i choose simple to pack everything. Uncompressed, this 7z pack will have 950mb.

Rikasu (2010-01-05)

luf4all (2011-05-30)

PLEEASE SEED. and spread the message on the synapse hl2 tpb page. they seem to have this problem a lot

scrappler832 (2011-07-30)

god damnit ppl either someone seed this crap or delete this stuff because without seeds it's not really useful
you can make the lips work when loading these maps onto gmod but it breaks a lot of spawn points in map transitions and cut scenes so that's not recommended. I'd really much love to see someone seed this! thanks

Thanks, will seed as long as possible.

Slayer__4 (2012-02-05)

Thank you so much for this man, Half-Life 2 just wasn't the same without moving lips. Will seed for a very long time, I know the pain of not having these files.

blackID (2012-02-21)

Worked for me:D Seeding for as long as i can!

Gilgamesh101 (2012-03-27)

Download speed is slow, 20Kbps at my connection, lacks seeders, hoping for more seeders. Thanks.

Gilgamesh101 (2012-03-27)

Well, I'm Stuck at 19.1% , no DL speed whatsoever,
No Seeders Online also., I'll just resume later.

LovinColors (2012-04-24)

Great. Soon as I finish the download I'll be seeding as long as my computer lasts since this torrent is not illegal.

Deadekko (2012-05-11)

Everyone, whatever your doing, dont....stop....seeding, i have 1 seeder and im remarkably downloading pretty quick.

Deadekko (2012-05-11)

On a side note, im at 0.5kb/s. I believe that is the slowest i've ever had and i started like 5 minutes ago and i'm already at 30+%.

unperson_ (2012-05-22)

idk who would want to play HL2 without the lipsync. ill be seeding this for a while

PaulMamac (2012-07-17)

hey, i got stuck at 92.7 if you will just be a good person and seed this stuff :(
Lots of people depends on seeders including me to think that i seed back anything i downloaded i think i deserve i too.

seedzhao (2012-11-11)

hello, thank you for this... it seems fine until now...

faizi1997 (2012-11-22)

FUCKING PIRATES BUY THE GAME VALVE DESERVES IT

Rebellion777 (2013-01-23)

It might take longer to download due to the small amount of seeders, but it's worth it. Don't know if I used this Synapse guy's torrent for my Half-Life 2, but the only problem was the lips weren't moving, and that seems to be completely fixed with this torrent. One last thing, even though my utorrent SAYS I'm seeding it right now, not sure if I actually am because it says there are 0 seeders...then it says 7 in parentheses which I assume means 7 offline...care to help me with that?

VGVee (2013-11-11)

This is a vital addition to Synapse's Half-Life 2 torrent since you won't have a talking characters if you don't have this files. The files are clean, really easy to install, and fast download time. Thanks to the uploader and seeders for this great torrent.

fantafox (2014-11-29)

It doesn't work. I spent 3 hours downloading and seeding this and replaced the sound folder and the lip sync still isn't working.
