Reinforcements Don't Speak

[NorthHammer]

I've noticed that if I have a reinforcement army, or I play as the reinforcement (AI ally attacks nearby and I help him), the units don't speak.

They will not say (shield wall, or sir, or march, or gaurd this area, etc.) Has anyone else noticed this problem? Is it just an SPQR problem?

it may be that they are very shy? lol j/k

I don't like shy people, and I don't like my shy units. LOL

I haven't noticed it but hey, does it really matter in the greater scheme of things?

[bestantreas]

It's not SPQR's problem, I notice that and in vanilla 1.2 some time ago.

I havent thought of that they dont talk, but i have noticed that they have no marching sound. They just move as silent as if they were flying.

[makeshift52]

That is a slightly bigger problem, does CA know or care?

[NorthHammer]

Ok, good to hear it wasn't just me. I've been modifying sounds and was worried that I might have FUBAR'd something.

[Savage_Swede]

Am i missing something?
Excuse me, but what the hell is FUBAR'd? Never heard it before.

That is a slightly bigger problem, does CA know or care?

Did you mean the marching sound?

[RZZZA]

FUBAR'd was GI slang amongst American troops during WWII, it means F'd Up Beyond Any Repair, I BELIEVE.

Anyway, I've noticed long ago that many mods, not just SPQR, tend to mess up things in the sounds department. Many units no longer talk, they dont say what unit they are when you click on them, they dont yell Halt! or say Yes? or anything.

Since 1.2, and maybe even before, reinforcements do not make noise. The generals bodygaurd cavalry make noise, but its the wrong noise, IE as though it was much fewer troops. Cavalry in general as reinforcements may also do this. That, I'm not too sure.

Reinforcements don't speak

That's a blessing.

[mb1972]

You were close on FUBAR. It is actually F'd up beyond all recognition. And yes the military has been using it for quite some time.

SPQR doesnt have any issues RZZZA, Your statement made it sound like naturally SPQR has an issue with the sound which it does not. I fixed any of the sounds issues a while ago.

I dunno what it is, maybe its just my computer personally, but generally all RTW mods tend to mess with sound issues a bit. Mods usually remove the original RTW campaign music and sometimes even battle music and replace it with their own. Sometimes units no longer speak after this happens, wether it is a mod problem or a personal computer problem or a compatability problem I dunno...but it happens sometimes.

[lt1956]

Its usually Modders error if something that worked in RTW and then not in the mod. In SPQR the music has nothing to do with the Sounds of the units. But Editing some sounds like Removing Statements like Hastatii etc and changing them to say something different. Basically you have to make sure you change all the sounds for a unit type and this what can be missed. SPQR I have changed everything for the sounds so they work, The Reinforcements speaking, not sure as I dont remember them saying anything in the Vanilla RTW.

Mods that add ALOT of new units is where you get issues with units not speaking as they dont have the sound records to match the names they gave the units. RTR and some others this happens alot. Have you played SPQR 4.6?

Yeah I didn't know if the problem was a vanilla problem, an spqr problem, or my own modding problem. I'm glad to hear it ain't mine or spqr's prob

[Skyhigh]

player and ai reinforcements never make any sound at all
they dont speak, shout orders, blow horn when they charge, or make any sound of marching
this is all based off my vanilla experiences
