Quick Fixes for SS 4.1

[Parzival]

are you talking about on the campaign map or in battles?

if it is the campaign map, I think it is becasue there is no new descr_sounds_accents.txt file to add an accent to the new factions. I have uploaded a file with the Aragon set to spanish, and Kiev Rus to East european. I have fully tested it and it doesnt overwrite any existing ss file. just save into the data folder within Stainless Steel and delete the dat files from the sound folder in Stainless steel, then the game builds new dat files allocating accents to factions

file is here http://files.filefront.com/descr+sou.../fileinfo.html

I used the same technique to give Templars english accents in V3.2

Hi Jason.

Don't you mean the events.dat and the events.idx files?

I've just deleted the original audio.dat along with the events.dat from the SS/data/sounds folder and now most of the sounds in the game do not work at all...

[TheFirstONeill]

I copied all the stainless steel sound dat and idx files, then deleted them, and just restarted the game, and it rebuilds new correct audio files

EDIT :
~~Delete C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\Stainless_Steel_Mod\data\sounds\events.dat

~~Delete C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\Stainless_Steel_Mod\data\sounds\events.idx


Parzial , have you got your sounds back, I can send you the required files (idx dat)

[Parzival]

I reinstalled SS and used Nerazzurri's hotfix and everything is dandy

[TheFirstONeill]

ok the info I left is correct then, just insert that simple text file and delete sound files, amd it will give correct accents to thearagon and Rus

[nerazzurri]

You also need all the sounds text files which my hotfix installs, otherwise the files won't be rebuilt correctly. Also my understanding is that it is the events.dat and events.idx files that need to be deleted.

I installed this and unzipped to the M2TW folder and then aragon still speak english and denmark have word from england ? So what is wrong ?

Ps. Should it ask something like "overwrite this file with this file..." etc ?

[delra]

Yes.

[Janezki]

Then i installed it to the wrong folder but i dont understand ? Is it that folder where is SS launcher ?

[delra]

You have to unpack it all to your game dir.

[nerazzurri]

Have you run the SS4.exe program?

[Janezki]

Ermmm ? That where reads Nerazurri.net ?

[Kalos]

Yeah. Run that and it will ask 'Do you want to create a short cut to Stainless Steel on your desktop?' Click "Yes" And it will make a shortcut with the cool icon on your desktop for you.

[nerazzurri]

When you unzip the file it puts a file called SS4.exe into the M2TW folder (its icon is the symbol of the Knights Templar). Run that and it'll ask if you want to create a shortcut and will then complete the sound fix.

[Janezki]

D'oh! im stupid

But anyway thx!

[Hanno the Navigator]

nerazzurri, is your quickfix compatible with the official SS hotfix #3?

Ditto TheFirstONeill for the sound fix?

(Though I say, I find the "By St George..."bit somewhat appropriate for the Rus. Though it doesn't outweigh the consternation every time my merchant announces he will "send the goods to England" )

[nerazzurri]

Yes my stuff doesn't change any of the existing SS files and it already includes the sound fix.

[Hanno the Navigator]

Thanks! Works like a charm!

[nerazzurri]

Updated for 4.1.

[delra]

Are there any other fixes except sound in 4.1 version?
