Half-Life: Day One

Location: sound/holo

Sound file	Quote
tr_holo_longjump	Long jumping is a feature you won't use very often, since it draws more power than any other suit function and requires its own short duration charging module, seen here. To activate your long jump, you will have to duck and move forward and then launch into a jump. Once you're up on the platform, press the button, and I will demonstrate the move.

Half-Life

Introduction

Location: sound/holo

The Holographic Assistant welcoming the trainee:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_intro	Hello and welcome to the Black Mesa Hazard Course, where you'll be trained in the use of the Hazardous Environment Suit. I am your holographic assistant. Let's begin by stepping into your suit. You can see it suspended up ahead of you.
tr_holo_button	If you see one of these buttons, press it, and I will appear to demonstrate certain moves.

After acquiring the HEV Suit:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_move	Moving around in your HEV Suit can be slightly disorienting at first. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with basic movement, and soon it will fit you like a second skin. I will see you just around the corner.

Jumping and ducking

Location: sound/holo

At the beginning of the first test:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_jump	The first move we will practice in the Hazard Course is basic jumping. You will attempt to get over this set of pipes using only your run and jump commands. It helps to get a running start. Watch me, and then try it yourself.

At the beginning of the second test:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_duck	You will now duck under the next set of obstacles. Please note that crouching will automatically shift your suit into stealth mode, minimizing movement noise.

At the beginning of the third test:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_jduck	Now we will combine skills. You will need to jump, duck, and then jump again. This will prepare you for the next room where you will have to do both moves at the same time.

At the beginning of the fourth test:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_pipeduck	To get into these pipes, you'll have to signal your suit to make a duck jump. You'll want to stand right at the mouth of the pipe and continue to press forward, then jump up, and while you're in mid air, go into a crouch. It's tricky, but you'll find it comes in handy.

If the trainee is unable to enter the pipe, the Assistant adds:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_retry	Give it another try. Remember to move forward, jump, and while in mid air, crouch.

At the end of the test:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_nicejob	Nice job!

At the beginning of the fifth test:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_ladder	Walk directly into the ladder, look up, and continue moving forward. If you want to come back down, just move backward.

At the beginning of the sixth test:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_3jumps	The next three jumps get harder each time, but they are quite possible. Don't be surprised if you miss the last one a time or two. If you can make all three in a continuous run, you are doing well.

Upon failing the first or second jumps, the Assistant says:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_keeptrying	Keep trying! You'll get it.

Upon failing the third jump, the Assistant says:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_fallshort	If you keep falling short, you might be jumping too soon.

When all three jumps are completed, the Assistant says:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_greatwork	Great work! Now there is one more style of jumping you need to learn.

At the beginning of the seventh test:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_longjump	Long jumping requires its own charging module, seen here. To activate your long jump, you will have to duck and move forward and then launch into a jump. Once you are up on the platform, press the button, and I will demonstrate the move.

Upon completion, the Assistant adds:

tr_holo_pushbox	What you really need to do is push that box down into the pit. Pushing is easy. Just move forward against the box and you can push it into position.

At the beginning of the second crate test:

Filename(s)	Quote	Play
tr_holo_pullbox	If you can't push the obstacle out of your way, you might try pulling it. To pull a box, move up to it and press your use key. While holding down the use key to keep a grip on the box, move slowly backward. The box will come along with you.
