how do i turn on the subtitles

I fixed the newline support, took me a while to find but finally

i saw it work so i got it solved

thats because they emit their sound on the server end, while hl2 npcs create it on client

Default NPCs can't use subtitles but addon NPCs like Zippy's Combine or Half-Life Resurgence can.

Ah thanks for letting me know

or if some darkrp server were to use those lines on players

i tried it myself with a hl1 scientist, yeap it doesnt work unless you play the sound from an wire sound emitter

So it doesn’t function with NPCs?

i mentioned that it doesnt work with clientside sounds

So I've been trying to get this to work for a couple hours now and it's not working for me for some reason, I've attempted to follow the discussion as best as possible however the captions are not working for me. I'm trying to caption all the default metrocop NPC voicelines to it, but anytime they speak nothing occurs (and I have every sound file included). I'll link some screenshots of everything so you might have an understanding of it, I could also send the .lua file I'm using for the voicelines, if you get the time to help I'd appreciate it!

Also I am using this addon to get the path locations:

ok ill try that and see if it works with the arknights npcs also

either use those https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3156619292
or enable the closedcaptions convar

oh i see what is required for it to work?

You have to use addons that make use of this to see it in effect

it doesent work for me and im not sure why can someone help me on this?

freeman

this is scripts no trust me

i updated the example file in the code that displays the usage of the line break

it looks like the line break does not fully support Chinese characters, I'll take a look at the code to see if i can help tomorrow.

fixed

Can the text be line-breaked? I used “\n” to line-break, but it seems to have no effect on the text, but it affects the text box.

The text is a bit dark and not very clear in brighter areas (Even if the color is 255,255,255 ).

It should work for both ends, client and server sounds

is this client side or serverside

wanna apologize for the dumb question, my brother uses my steam account to play gmod and mustve asked, again sorry.

tldr

People which cant read wont be rewarded

doesnt work, oh well, e

Real

does bro even know what this is

:pog:

nice

if specified via the ways in the pinned discussion, yes

So does this work with every sound that plays?

typically ulib

some additional errors:

if you specify their sound paths, yes, anything that makes a sound.

Does this work with NPCs AND TFA vox?
