Thank you for the reply. Glad you understand why this is an issue. I hope you reach out to the community next time you decide to add voice acting to a mod of yours. There are tons of people ready to volunteer for all kinds of projects.
Hope to see more from you!

Tak odchodząc od tematu nie jestem zwolenikiem AI i wolałbyłm gdyby faktycznie te głosy robili ludzie np. jak w pewnym "Kabarecie" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZalZeaZOrk np. Nie mieli Donalda Tuska a zrobili głos podobny do niego

@Moonshine

I understand Your concerns. Most, regarding the AI, really. In fact, such opinion is what was holding me from making the mod for so long. Nevertheless, I'm just a piss poor amateur modder, so I really had no other way to do such a mod without the AI models. Although I'll probably never make a similar mod ever again
Moonshine 2 Jul @ 1:36pm 
I understand this is all a joke modpack, but this really didn't need to be added. There are so many people who would freely do impressions of these characters for you if you had asked. I hate how normalised AI generated voices have become. Actors are human beings, not machines.

@Matixer
very interesting idea
Pan Kartofel 1 Jul @ 5:34am 
It's a pity not everything is in Polish — some voice lines sound a bit strange because of that.
But I totally understand why it's not fully in Polish — it would make it hard for non-Polish players to enjoy this PRL-style Half-Life 2 experience.
And of course, I know it would be a massive amount of work to make a separate version just in Polish. Great mod anyway!

Proposition
Alyx - Anna walentynowicz (wałesa daughters is too young for 81)
Kleiner - Tadeusz Mazowiecki

Judith - Małgorzata Niezabitowska, has registered as SB secret agent at some point https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma%C5%82gorzata_Niezabitowska

and maybe when rebels break propaganda monitor with breen, add this song https://youtu.be/uh5pZ9PlCwE?list=RDuh5pZ9PlCwE

@ForlornBuccaneer69

Thank you! definitely there's some tiny gaps (for example the radio calling in the other stations, when they mention civil protection instead of milicja) but obviously happy to see the progress!
ForlornBuccaneer69  [author] 30 Jun @ 3:45pm 
@Mr.GrinderMan

I definitely plan updating Eli's voicelines, to accomodate the Lech Wałęsa replacement. Also I recently replaced Grigori with Popiełuszko, so I'd like to add his voicelines as well (but that is dependent on whether I will be able to find good quality recordings of his voice)
Mr.GrinderMan 30 Jun @ 3:39pm 
Quick question, as a PRL history fan i really enjoy this mod..do you plan to add more voicelines?
Tori Alice 15 Jun @ 5:14pm 
@forlorn, yeah, i went and googled it (despite being an absolute nutjob and reads ALOT of the cold war) i forgot exactly when the T-72 was more or less in mass production. still makes me think. how would NATO vehicles resond given i know someone would go looting the Black mesa site (probably the US/Germany if i had to guess, and maybe france)
ForlornBuccaneer69  [author] 15 Jun @ 1:47am 
@RGM

According to my research, only twenty T-72s were in the inventory before 1982 (the year when serial production kicked off). The main tank during the Martial Law was still the T-55, confirmed by all the pictures from the era.
Tori Alice 14 Jun @ 8:47pm 
@Forlorn

that is perfectly understandable. i hope that his early game speeches are the only thing i need to learn polish for. either way, i barely notice the AI voicelines, they feel oddly natural. almost too natural. either way great modpack, and worth installing to replay HL2, though i question why you used the T-55 for the Strider and not say, the T-72 which wouldve 100% been in mass production given its the 80s, (at least i think,)
ForlornBuccaneer69  [author] 14 Jun @ 9:22am 
@RGM

I really, REALLY wanted to add subtitles. I even manually translated both of his speeches to English. However, based on my research, Workshop (and HL2 in general) does not have support for modded subtitle files. The only way to achieve custom subtitles would be to go into the directory and manually replace the subtitle files.

I may one day try to experiment with that, and maybe update the mod with a custom file and instructions how to replace it. But it also depends on my understanding of how the provided subtitle generator works, which is not really that easy to grasp, surprisingly.
Tori Alice 14 Jun @ 8:45am 
do you plan on adding subtitle support? this modpack (the whole PRL '81 pack, you outdone yourself here) is becoming something really enjoyable despite it JUST being HL2 but polish.
I dont understand polish, at all because im an american. but i would love to see what they are saying when breen- sorry, the ESTEEMED GENERAL, speaks in polish. and to see all the sutble changes when im not paying too much attention to their diolouge (Vocally that is)
Retro2015 8 Jun @ 5:49pm 
Also that i need help getting the audio to fix for EP1 and EP2
Retro2015 8 Jun @ 5:21pm 
sabqnsy what was the mod because it looks like steam removed it

After a lot of time yesterday disabling mods I found that this mod (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3389902128) was the problem so now im able to hear voices and everyone isnt muted like Gorden
ForlornBuccaneer69  [author] 1 Jun @ 5:18pm 
@Bobbyfisher01

I guess so. Like I said before, I haven't really put that much time into it, the lore only serves as a fun little explaination of all the more "weird" replacements i.e. the Synths, scanners and the like.

US and NATO would almost certainly do the same with Black Mesa tech, although their designs wouldn't necessarily have to be similar to the Soviet ones.
Bobbyfisher01 1 Jun @ 4:58pm 
Just a question about the mod's lore: if Black Mesa happened in the late 60s, does that mean NATO managed to make their own specialized equipment as well (I.E. Hunters, Striders, etc.)? You mentioned GRU operatives stealing tech from the ruins, so did US Spec Ops do the same?
ForlornBuccaneer69  [author] 1 Jun @ 9:19am 
@Sabathguy

That's weird. Maybe a mod conflict. Try to move this mod to the top of the modlist in the "Subscribed" tab in the in-game "Workshop" menu and check. You can also try verifying the game files integrity just in case
Sabthatguy (sabqnsny) 1 Jun @ 9:04am 
It works in half life 2 but for the ep's everyone is silent

Ooh heck missed chance to mention the USA maybe in this timeline the USA is backing the polish rebels?
eidonabramm 9 May @ 6:53pm 
I say you did an awesome job with your mod packs.
eidonabramm 9 May @ 6:51pm 
If you think about this could be set in the 1984 universe. and there is growing rebel presence against all three communist factions

well its not like we have a notable prison or something in poland

i think you skipped the part when barney says "he was about to express to nova prospekt"
Svervo. 24 Apr @ 8:03am 
oh yeah the npcs still say ravenholm when the city sign for ravenholm is walbrzych , in an latter update of this i wish to see it fixed , thank you
less aptizing 22 Apr @ 1:36pm 
totally understandable, atleast you tried
ForlornBuccaneer69  [author] 22 Apr @ 1:31pm 
@less aptizing

That is something I really wanted to do. But sadly, it seems the subtitles are not compatible with either Workshop or vpk modding attempts, being stored in completely different folder paths. It would necessitate completely overwriting them to work, which I'd rather not do.
less aptizing 22 Apr @ 1:15pm 
It would be cool if you made the subtitles also say "Warsaw" "wron" etc
Dodladden 22 Apr @ 6:40am 
I wanted to suggest replacing Black Mesa with Chernobyl, but this mod happens in 1981 while Chernobyl incident happened 5 years later. Ehhh...shame.
Svervo. 18 Apr @ 4:52am 
is there a mod for this collection which replaces the rebel models?
Lapa_20 18 Apr @ 3:52am 
Aha rozumiem, poza tym bardzo fajną kolekcje zrobiłeś życze ci powodzenia

What you have there is the contact code for the soviet union.
ForlornBuccaneer69  [author] 17 Apr @ 11:45am 
@Lapa_20

Myślałem o tym, ale na chwilę obecną nie. Już zrobienie tego moda kosztowało mnie zbyt wiele czasu i nerwów, a przecież było to tylko edytowanie już istniejących dialogów. A tu trzeba by nagrywać wszystko od zera
Lapa_20 17 Apr @ 5:37am 
Masz plan na to żeby zrobić wersje z Polskim? jeszcze lepiej by się wpasowało
Feowsky 16 Apr @ 2:21pm 
Make Eli into Lech Wałęsa would make sense
