[NPCs] NPCs don't make any sounds (Idle Sounds, Death Sounds, etc...) when Mapbase is installed

[ImNoobStuff]

Describe the bug

Since i installed Mapbase 8.0 for my Source SDK 2013 Half-Life 2 Mod, NPCs don't have sounds anymore like Idle Sounds and Deathsounds

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make mod for Half-Life 2 Using the repository provided by VALVe on Github
2. Install Mapbase 8.0 in the mod completely built-in
3. See error

Expected behavior

I thought everything would be fine because before that, on Mapbase 7.3, the rope when combine soldiers rappeled would do some weird graphical-like bugs and when i switched to 8.0 it fixed it but the NPCs didn't have sounds anymore.

Yeah I'm dealing with this issue as well, been trying to find way to fix it, don't know if it's something I screwed up or what.

I havn't been using mapbase 8.0 anytime recently (waiting for it to fully drop before presumably switching), but the mp branch has odd bugs with NPC's. I've noticed in base hl2 maps thru hl2mp, alot of NPC's don't appear to work correctly as they did in base hl2 and singleplayer branch, and sometimes outright crashs because of npc's. This might just be an odd MP-related bug, though i can't say i've encountered it (the sound bug) on base hl2mp

Yeah by the way i found what was causing the problem but don't know how to fix it.
Basically (atleast for me), if i put any files in the "talker" folder in "scripts", the sounds wont work anymore.
So if you remove it, it should work, maybe.
