It was different for each line, essentially I would use the Polynesian (Maori, Samoan, and Hawaiian) languages the most since GT messes them up the most. The African languages (not including Afrikaans, since that descended from the Dutch language anyway) are also pretty prone to getting butchered by GT. Latin is also pretty susceptible to jank, though it has actually improved a lot over the years. If one combination doesn't give any interesting/funny results, I'll try another. Tons of trial and error.

Nope. I do know of someone else who is working on Episode 1 GTE, though.

Aside from Portal 2 GTE (which has completed voice lines already), I'm not doing anymore Google Translated projects. Sorry.

Hmm... are you maybe putting the .zip file in sourcemods? Make sure it's *not* the .zip folder (titled "HL2 GTE Beta") but rather the file that's in the .zip folder (called "HL2_GTE") that goes to sourcemods. Other than that, the only other idea I have is if you have more than one drive, make sure you're installing to the correct one.

Make sure you're restarting steam, and not just exiting and reopening. Hope that helps.

The mod is out now, though on a different ModDB page. You can download it here: Moddb.com

The mod is out now! It had to be uploaded to a different page though - here it is: Moddb.com

Some of Half-Life's default textures are "baked" into the maps which causes them to remain unchanged - maybe that's your issue? There is a way to circumvent it though - make a copy of halflife.wad and rename it sample.wad. Then, in the "autoexec", add the line "r_wadtextures 1". Hope that helps. It's been a long time since I've done any goldsrc texture work, so I'm afraid I can't be much more help if that doesn't solve the issue.

Hi,

I'm not planning on doing any GTE stuff after HL2 GTE and Portal 2 GTE, both of which have had all voice roles filled for a while.

Make sure to put the *contents* of the HL: GTE folder into the valve folder, and not the HL: GTE folder itself.

We know development's taken far longer than it should have - but rest assured, we've made great strides, and are actually quite close to completion. Please just bear with us a bit longer!

Progress is slow, but yes mod is still under development. Not sure why the Discord link is dead, try this: Discord.gg

I hope to provide an update article within the next couple of months, which I'm sure will include a percentage of some sort.

I'd say the mod is like 80% finished at this point.

Yep, as Treetop said it's still definitely in development. Very likely will not hit the summer release goal sadly, but lots of progress has been made.

I cannot fix this map problem because a vast majority of players (including myself) do not experience it when installing the mod. The only suggestion I have that *might* work would be to copy "maps" from your steamapps/common/Portal/portal directory, then paste it into Portal/portal/custom/Portal GTE.

This only works in English. A Russian version has also been made by another user: Moddb.com

Sorry for the late response, but that's just not how this mod works. The dialogue comes "pre-translated."

That is very interesting! Usually getting goldsrc stuff over to source is a bit dicey. Cool to hear, I suppose!

If I could do this to multiple sound files at once, I'd happily make an update to fix the issue. Doing this to one sound file at a time just doesn't seem worth it.

Verifying game file integrity on Steam should do the trick.

Every download in the files section (with the exception of the archived beta) is at its latest update.

We've hit a bit of a hiatus due to life stuff, but we actually aren't terribly far from finished. I'd say we're around 75% of the way there.

That might be the issue. I'm not sure what to do in instances of a shared account.

That's a bug with the mod since I exported the voice files incorrectly.

The default Portal maps are what is used for this mod. If you can't access any maps after installing, then you might not have the mod installed correctly. Make sure to put "Portal GTE" in your Portal/portal/custom folder, not the "Sourcemods" folder.
