    Default How to reduce the voices volume?

    I really like the modification Khartum and Zulu but the British voices are much too loud. I would like to learn how to turn them down?

    If they are custom voices just for this mod, I think the easiest is to extract the mp3, edit them and replace them.

    It's also possible to change the volume associated to sound events using the symphony tool. But if it is a generic events, which automatically branch to different files, then it won't work.

    I mean:
    if event is "Unit_Selected", the sound event will be "Unit_Selected_Event", and it plays the file "uk/unit_selected_1.mp3"

    But the same even is used for British or French units.
    So the game will automatically replace "uk" with the nationality

    for British it will play "uk/unit_selected_1.mp3", but for France it will play ""fr/unit_selected_1.mp3"

    So it is actually a different mp3 file which is played (same name, different folder).

    If you change the volume of the event, it will affect both cases. So if the British are too loud, and the French are OK, and you reduce the volume for the event, then the British might be OK, but the French will be too low.

    In that case, it's better to change the mp3 itself.

    PFM can extract files and replace them from pack files.

    You could also try modifying the sound_events to properly turn it down/decrease the range of the voices.
