HECU Scripted Dialogue Fix

A small fix pack that I decided to upload to the workshop now. This intends to fix the soundscripts for specific HECU scenes in On a Rail and Surface Tension. Although they are seamless and not noticeable in-game, it fixes the unmasked marines speaking with the radio filter instead of without the radio filter for certain areas.

This is perfect for players who used a modded version of the character_manifest.txt in the custom folder like Character Expansion or for making a mod with these modified lines. Certain masked marine lines were made using a modified version of Dr_Al_'s HECU Soldier radio filter and you can find my modified macro filter in the readme files inside the .vpk files.

However, the base soundscripts were modified from the Vanilla version of Black Mesa, so certain mods like BMCE Addon - Black Mesa Character Expansion Revised may be affected by this.

Also, there were a few marine lines in the Surface Tension Uncut maps that were heard when it was still in Early Access but not found in the Released version. Using Lumper[github.com] , the latest BSP entity editor I can find, I fixed those small issues for those who find this issue problematic like me. The changed maps are "bm_c2a5g" where the marines set remote explosions and then said, "GET HIM!" and "bm_c2a5i" after the distant Gargantua roar and one of the panicked marines said, "Look out!"

If you want to put this in your custom folder, you can find the .vpks in the following SteamLibrary directory:

This mod is intended for use with other mods like Black Mesa Staff Revamp although it is not required. It should work fine for those who use Character Expansion.

Note that this is for the English Voices only.

There is another addon that I made that fixes certain annoyances I have with Black Mesa's NPC Sound Replacements: NPC Revoice Sound Fixes
