Mistakes and inconsistencies in cl_chatter subtitles #990
Description
updated 10 November
English is not my native language and I mostly read English rather than listen to it, so some of the entries here may be mistakes of mine.
Sarge
- cl_chatter 1 0 "My first campaign wasn't this tough." — the word "first" isn't voiced, but current subtitles are probably fine for clarity
- cl_chatter 4 1 "Watch it, you hear?" — I don't hear "you"
- cl_chatter 11 2 "Reload." — voice says "Reloading."
- cl_chatter 20 0 & 20 1 have their subtitles (or voicelines?) mixed up
- all cl_chatter 26 lines are duplicate of cl_chatter 27's (probably intended, given other marines' 26 & 27 too tend to have several lines in common), except none of 26's show any subtitles
- cl_chatter 32 0 "Cover an area." — probably meant to be "Covering area.", like other marines' 32-36
- cl_chatter 48 2 "Get behind." — unmentioned "it" at the end
- cl_chatter 50 3 "Shit! Shit, parasite on!" — unmentioned "me" at the end
- cl_chatter 64 0 is missing a dot at the end
- cl_chatter 79 3 "Incendiary mine deployed." — voiceline is duplicate of cl_chatter 79 0 "Mine in place, boys.", and a fitting one does exist in the files (conrad_2_mine4.wav), BUT cl_chatter 79 can also trigger off (at least) Laser Mines, so incendiary mines shouldn't be mentioned here; ideally make a duplicate of cl_chatter 79 with all its lines plus the incendiary mine line
- cl_chatter 85 0 "That's part of the job." — I can't hear the "of"
- cl_chatter 89 1 "You know what they got in the supply closet? That stuff kicks you in the head." — missed "Man, " at 2nd sentence start, and "No drinking on the job!" at the end
- cl_chatter 97 0 "Did you sleep through the briefing again?" — there's 1 or 2 more words at the end, unsubtitled
- cl_chatter 116 0 "Yeah, and I though I'd served my time in hell." — feels like something's wrong in here but I don't know the full conversation
- cl_chatter 123 1 "Secure the Perimeter, [...]" — random capitalization
- Unused conrad_2_biomass1.wav "Swarm biomass." could fit cl_chatter 44
Jaeger
- cl_chatter 3 8 "Did you hear that?" — unmentioned "Psst, " at the beginning of the voiceline
- cl_chatter 48 1 "Grenades!" — voice says "Use grenades!"
- cl_chatter 50 2 "Get if off me!" — unmentioned screaming at the beginning
- cl_chatter 51 2 "Watch out, Swarm eggs!" — random capitalization
- cl_chatter 54 0 "Come and get some!" — "and" isn't voiced
- cl_chatter 55 0 "Look out!" — there's much more voice afterwards, but I can't identify what's he saying
- cl_chatter 55 2 "They've breached!" — unmentioned "the door" at the end
- cl_chatter 60 0 & 60 1 "[Pain]" — replace this with "[Screaming]" or "[Screaming pain]" to go in line with most other marines and to differentiate extinguishable problems from non-extinguishable ones; same issue with Faith's 60
- cl_chatter 79 0 "Incendiary mine deployed!" — voiceline is duplicate of cl_chatter 79 1 "Mine deployed!" while a proper one exists within the files (incediarymine.wav) — see Sarge's 79
- cl_chatter 108 0 "That's the spirit." — unmentioned "Haha, " at the beginning
- cl_chatter 116 1 "Why's it always got to be us?" — voice ends with "eh"
- Unused lastvacation.wav could probably fit somewhere
Wildcat
- cl_chatter 34 1 "Covering south." — unmentioned "side" at the end
- cl_chatter 107 1 "Die you son of a bitch, die!" — last word isn't present in the voiceline
- cl_chatter 117 0 "Hah, you see that one, Wolfe?" — first word should be "Haha"
Wolfe
- cl_chatter 2 0 "All right!" — unindicated muffling at the beginning
- cl_chatter 13 0 "I need some ammo here." — voice is just "Ammo."
- all cl_chatter 14 lines — no other marines' subtitles spell "med kit" as two words
- cl_chatter 15 2 is missing a dot at the end
- cl_chatter 26 0 "Ah, supplies!" — first word is "Haha"
- cl_chatter 26 1 "Ah, supplies." — first word is "Aha"
- cl_chatter 32 5 "Secure area." — first word should be "Securing"
- cl_chatter 36 2 "I got west side." — missed the mid "the"
- cl_chatter 37 2 "Taking point." — unmentioned "Wolfe, " at the beginning
- cl_chatter 38 2 "Taking read guard." — unmentioned "Wolfe, " at the beginning
- cl_chatter 42 3 "Cutting door." — unmentioned "Wolfe, " at the beginning
- cl_chatter 44 0 "Biomass. Man, I hate this shit." — voice omits two last words, and the tone change between "I" and "hate" feels abrupt. Subtitles make more sense than the voiceline, probably fine to leave as is
- cl_chatter 45 3 "Time to move out." — voice is "[...] move on out."
- cl_chatter 45 4 "Whoa. Time to wave this place goodbye." — first word should be "Wo-ha"
- cl_chatter 50 1 plays no voice nor displays any text
- cl_chatter 50 4 "Gah! Get it off, get it off of me!" — voice omits "of"
- cl_chatter 50 5 "Get it off, get it off, get it off!" — voice only says it twice, not thrice
- cl_chatter 50 7 — no voice nor text
- cl_chatter 55 2 "They broke through the door." — voice says "They're" instead of "They broke"
- cl_chatter 66 2 "Nice shooting, Kid." — is this capitalization intentional?
- cl_chatter 107 0 "Dance, bugs, dance. While you can." — voice's 2nd sentence starts with "Run"
- cl_chatter 108 1 "Kill em all. Kill em all!" — voice has no 1st "all"
- cl_chatter 108 3 "Right on." — voice starts with "Shit. "
- cl_chatter 110 4 "Oh, now it's on." — first word is more like "Ohoh"
- cl_chatter 120 0 "Watch and learn." — voice ends with ", Cat"
- Unused wolfe_dontmindmejustdyingofoldagehere.wav, wolfe_heydontmindmejustdyingofoldagehere.wav (typical Wolfe redundancy) and wolfe_mandontmakemewaitallday.wav could fit cl_chatter 3
Faith
- cl_chatter 3 6 "I wonder if we run into any wounded." — I hear... something else but unsure what in place of "if"
- cl_chatter 5 0 "Here." — being a notification of enemies (and a loud one), it definitely should end with an exclamation mark instead
- cl_chatter 32 2 "Faith in position." — no "Faith" in voice
- cl_chatter 50 0, 50 1 & 50 2 — unindicated screaming at the beginning
- cl_chatter 60 0 & 60 1 "[Pain]" — as with Jaeger's, replace this with "[Screaming]" or "[Screaming pain]" for reliability of notification of whether someone needs to be extinguished
- Unused faith_woomoreammo.wav could fit cl_chatter 27
Bastille
- cl_chatter 3 0 "Careful, they could be anywhere." — I don't hear "they"
- cl_chatter 3 3 "Keep quiet." — whatever the original French voiceline is, it is a lot longer
- cl_chatter 3 5 "Great, now I'm hearing things." — I don't hear "now"
- cl_chatter 3 11 "Just how many more bugs are on this rock?" — I don't hear "Just"
- cl_chatter 35 2 & 35 3 have their subtitles (or voicelines?) mixed up
- cl_chatter 39 2 "Securing door." — any marine's cl_chatter 39 is supposed to be a request — this line should be moved to cl_chatter 43's pool that's suspiciously shorter than Bastille's other door-related pools
- cl_chatter 41 1 "Get this door open." — any marine's cl_chatter 41 is meant to be the violent door solution yet this line doesn't imply so; it's already duplicated into cl_chatter 40's pool where unweld requests are, so just remove it from 41's pool
- cl_chatter 47 0 "A shield bug!" — I don't hear the "a"
- cl_chatter 54 1 "Eat this, alien scum!" — I hear... unsure what but not "alien"
- cl_chatter 58 2 & 58 3 are completely missing subtitles (which should just be "[Pain]")
- cl_chatter 69 16 "You're not dead." — voice has an extra word at the beginning. "Amigo, "?
- cl_chatter 87 0 "I'm saving them for when you really get hurt." — voice is "[...] when you get really hurt."
- Unused bastille_wouldbegooddoalittlecleaninghere.wav could fit somewhere
Crash
- cl_chatter 0 1 "Ready to get it on!" — voice starts with "I'm"
- cl_chatter 1 2 — no voice nor text
- cl_chatter 1 3 — no voice nor text
- cl_chatter 3 1 "Can we go now? I'm due some more cryosleep." — unmentioned something at the beginning
- cl_chatter 3 4 "I tell you what, you guys are lucky I'm here." — voice has "that" before "I'm"
- cl_chatter 34 0 & 34 1 — is that really how he pronounces "south"? Sounds much more like "nya" to me...
- cl_chatter 47 0 "Holy Shit!" — random capitalization
- cl_chatter 47 1 — no voice nor text
- cl_chatter 50 0 & 50 1 — unindicated screaming at the beginning
- cl_chatter 50 2 — no voice nor text
- cl_chatter 54 2 — no voice nor text
- cl_chatter 61 1 "Heh, that's nothing." — first "word" is more like "Pff-hehe"
- cl_chatter 72 0 "Hack in progress" — first word should be "Hacking"
- cl_chatter 75 1 "Hack complete!" — voice instead says "The hack's complete."
- cl_chatter 78 1 "Multiple signals!" — unmentioned "all around" at the end
- cl_chatter 82 0 "I can't stand this place much longer." — I hear two instances of "I" at the beginning, like sluttering
- cl_chatter 87 0 "Don't you believe in painkillers?" — unmentioned... unsure what at the beginning
- cl_chatter 106 0 "Reminds me of that last Commander." — unsure of the first word
- Unused goodthingflamer.wav could fit cl_chatter 44

- cl_chatter 47 0 — no voice nor text
- cl_chatter 49 1 — no voice nor text
- cl_chatter 50 2 "Get it off, get it off, get it off!" — it's only said twice, not thrice
- cl_chatter 50 3 — no voice nor text
- cl_chatter 54 1 — no voice nor text
- cl_chatter 72 0 "Ahh, finally something worthy of my time." — voice is "[...] something worth my time."
- cl_chatter 74 0 "Hack at 50%" — missing a dot at the end (kinda hypocritical...)
- Unused vegas_okbutyouremissingoutamigo.wav could probably fit somewhere
misc
- A few cl_chatter values only display an error in console: Sarge's 84; Jaeger's 44, 84 & 123; Wildcat's 84 & 123; Wolfe's 27-31 & 84; Faith's 123; Crash's 84 & 123; Vegas' 84, 89, 95 & 123; somehow none for Bastille.
- Do we want to capitalize "marine" or not? Sarge's 3 3, 3 4, 15 1, 16 2, 27 1, 39 2, 40 0, 41 0, 41 1, 41 3, 45 0, 46 3, 47 2, 48 0, 49 1, 61 0, 61 2, 63 0 and 103 1 don't; Sarge's 104 0, Jaeger's 26 1 and 27 2, Wildcat's 56 0 and Bastille's 69 12 do; Jaeger's 3 2 uses both versions in one sentence.
- Subtitles for cl_chatter 33-36 for Sarge, Wildcat, Wolfe and Vegas spell "north side", "south side" and the rest as two words, while for Jaeger, Faith, Bastille and Crash it's one word: "northside", "southside" etc.
- Same but "Shieldbug" (Sarge's 47 0 and 47 2; Jaeger's 47 0; Wildcat 47 0; Wolfe's 47 0, 47 2 and 47 3; Crash's 47 2; Vegas' 47 3) versus "Shield bug" (Jaeger's 47 1 and 47 2; Faith's 47 0, 47 1 and 47 2; Bastille's 47 0 and 47 1).
- There's plenty of punctuation I don't agree with... but I couldn't be bothered with that. Ideally I'd leave that to somebody better with the language.
