Voices for new units?

[Surgeon]

Searched the entire forum and couldn't find a tutorial on this, but...

My new units that I added to the game do not say anything when I order them around on the battle map. You know, stuff like "Heavy infantry!" "Attack!" etc.

Now I know voices for them can be enabled somehow, but don't know how. Can somebody please explain/point me to a tutorial on how this is done? Thanks for anything you guys can offer.

Anyone?? Doesn't anybody know the answer to this? Mods do it all the time, so somebody's got to know... If I didn't express myself clearly please tell me so I can explain the situation better, but at least post something

you need the extracted sound files, then
just add the unit in the export_descr_sounds_units_voice and also allocate an accent in the EDU file (see merc units for an example).
Delete the events and events.idx, then restart the game
If you have any problems, let me know I could mod your files for you

Thanks for replying.

Okay... now I have the following question and issue:
- When you said extracted sound files, did you mean the actual sound files, or the descr_sound/export_descr_sound text files? Just making sure.
- Deleting the events.dat and events.idx files seems to have muted all sound in the entire game... there's now no sound at all except for the intro cinematics... what did I do wrong?

Edit: Nevermind, sounds seem to be working again, but the new units still don't seem to say anything. I tried changing their accent and it works, but they do not respond when you click on them (they only say stuff when ordered to move, attack, etc.).

have u modded the export_descr_sounds_units_voice ?

[Surgeon]

Problem solved, my bad. Turns out that my export_descr_sounds_units_voice entry was under a different category of accent than the one I was specifying. Thanks for the help!

[TheFirstONeill]

no prob, you can add any accent to any unit

cheers
