Talk:Combine Soldier/Quotes
Why aren't the mp3 files here anymore? This is pissing me off. — Unsigned comment by 97.73.96.108
- After Combine OverWiki was moved to a different host, the audio files put too much stress on the server and had to be removed, otherwise the whole site would stay unusable. Worry not, though! We are planning to revive this feature; audio files will be back in about 60 days. We're going to be utilizing external hosting and some major optimization. This has already been implemented on this page.

Should the on-off sounds and control codes be included?[edit]
It seems that the file names of the voice lines are directly taken from the sentences.txt document and included not only the radio on-off sounds (e.g. "on2", "off1") but also the volume/pitch controls (e.g. "(p110)"). I wonder if this is really necessary, considering that the on-off sounds are separate sound effects and not part of the quotes per se. Since control parameters could vary, they are also not part of the file names themselves and therefore should be removed.
Another question regarding quote pages: Currently, the Combine Soldier's quotes are categorized according to sentences.txt, while the Civil Protection's and the Overwatch Voice's quote pages are simply ordered by alphabetical order of the file names. Would it be more logical to also arrange the latter two's voice lines according to sentences.txt/order of appearance in-game? Requiem (talk) 20:37, 27 April 2025 (MSK)
- There's not yet a defined consistent means of conveying the lines that are formed in the sentences.txt file, as a decision here would also greatly affect Hazardous Environment Combat Unit/Quotes and Black Mesa Announcement System/Quotes, among others. As for the line ordering, that too lacks a consistent approach, although it looks like this Combine Soldier article does go about things a better way when it comes to categorization. Almost all of these quote articles are still marked for cleanup, and deservedly so, so there's still much work needed in all of them. Marphy (talk) 06:27, 28 April 2025 (MSK)
