.VCD scene files not working for HL2

[Aazell]

Hi All

Some of you may have seen my recent mod Deep Down. If you played the steampipe version you'll have noticed that Alyx says a lot and is fully involved.

To get Alyx talking I'm using the Logic_choreographed_scene entity and selecting various .vcd files which control the audio and lipsynch info.

I'm starting my next project now called Rise which is about the return to the surface and carries on from the end of Deep Down. Once again I want to include a fully functioning Alyx but have a problem with the VCD files.

Almost every file available now says they have an error playing when i try to preview them from inside hammer.
When I select them anyway and try to trigger them in a map I get an error telling me that the Audio file is probably missing. Which it isn't...

I'm pretty sure this is connected to the bug that's affecting episode 2 at the moment where none of them talk.

Can anyone think of a way around this or a way to fix it so that I can get on with my project?

The alternative is to wait for Valve to fix all the current problems which I really don't want to have to do...
