There He Is Again!

Description
Attempts to restore a cut Dr. Breen line present in the game's voiceovers, intended for A Red Letter Day (d1_trainstation_05).

This mod makes use of a custom Binary VCD datafile (scenes.image) that overrides the base game's pre-existing choreography. Specifically, it changes scenes\k_lab\teleport05a.vcd to use a cut soundscript entry, k_lab.br_significant_cc (wavfile pointing to *combined\k_lab\k_lab_br_significant_cc.wav), which has also been re-implemented into scripts/level_sounds_k_lab.txt. Please prioritize it at the very top of your mod load list.

This will not conflict with any pre-existing BSP (lump) replacements you make against maps\d1_trainstation_05.bsp. It will, however, conflict with any other choreography mod that overrides scenes.image in any way, in ways that could potentially break HL2 and its episodes (including Lost Coast).

Due to a technical limitation in the Workshop content mounting system[github.com], the provided closed-captions datafile in this mod will not be loaded by the engine. You will have to manually extract the following resources into a custom mod directory from the following locations:

yes, it works in other languages.

At any point whatsoever, did you install and play through any campaign that has its own choreography/scenes.image packed in (e.g.: Outpost 16) during your HL2 play session? If so, then that might be the problem.

I wouldn't advise keeping this mod turned on once you beat the HL2 main game; this is a gimmick that only replaces one line, and the methods to do so are unfortunately restrictive given the crappy nature of the choreo systems in SDK2013/20th Anniversary branches. I'd filed a bug report on the Source 1 Games tracker, but so far there's currently no progress on this AFAIK.

For sanity's sake, I'd repacked the HL2 scenes.image with all other VCDs from Ep1 and Ep2 for compatibility purposes when I first tested this mod to ensure that dialog doesn't break in between subgames.

it should, but the subtitle changes in this mod aren't localized for other languages

does it work with Russian localization?
