Half-Life Mod - Additional Funny No-Access Lines

If you keep trying the security door in the Half-Life tutorial, you eventually get some funny lines even in the vanilla game. I decided to expand upon this concept. Don't know how or why to make this available to the public for actual game installation, but I edited valve/sounds/sentences.txt to add the lines, and used Piper TTS to synthesize the additional words to put in valve/sounds/vox. Thankfully, the game queried the new length of both lists automatically. I did have to reduce the sample rate of the Piper TTS output from the default 22050 to Half-Life's 11025, and I did a bit of fading at the end of some of my generated clips. The game will accept the 22050 sample rate, but it actually sounds worse, and the switch between the two mid-sentence sounds awful. TYJ, I'm pretty happy with the result. If you'd like me to make this available, let me know! Enjoy!
