Question on changing faction accent

**iron saga** · May 22, 2007, 06:22 PM

Sorry if this has been answered before, but i looked up and down the forums...how can i change the templars accent from whatever it currently is to french? historically, the vast majority of templars were french, and the current accent is...i dunno, latin sounding. Thanks!

PS I love this mod.

@ King Kong,
Hi there, there is no entry for Knights_templar in the accent file, but once added, to the desired accent, templars lose that crazy accent they start with.

Cheers

so i downloaded the extractor, extracted the sound files, and now i have a folder in the sound folder that says data...in that folder has folders for music, sfx, and voices...but all the files inside are audio files. i still cant find the descr_sounds_accent file...

thanks for all the help guys

The descr_sounds_accent file... should be in the main data dir within the medieval II dir, the same folder where the sound folder is found, not actually in the sound folder

thanks

hmm....the only sound file in the main data folder is descr_sounds_db...

glad u got them, u need to delete the idx files in the sounds folder, then when u restart the game it will rebuild them and incorporate the changes u have made. Then u will get accents u have asked for.

cheers
