Well, first of all, with the HEV pickup in the Hazard Course, the logon is
short (just the "Welcome to the HEV Mark IV" thing). Only in the actual game
does the HEV suit actually say all of the other activation messages.
Second of all, in HL the sounds and animations are synched. If your framerate
gets very low (like in the 2s and 3s) sounds, especially character lines, will
start skipping as HL attempts to keep the sound in synch with the video. This
used to happen to me all the time on my old computer until I started using
software mode (my old comp has a REALLY crap 3d card). Perhaps this is the
reason that disabling the renderer also disables character lines.
As for the +use, I'm not sure. Tracelines to determine the object being used
shouldn't be affected by the lack of a view. However, perhaps the HL renderer
keeps track of what is directly in front of the player when rendering so that a
traceline is not necessary when the player presses +use. Then useing would
also be impossible when rendering is disabled. This is all purely speculation;
I have no idea if HL actually works this way.
