SS 5.1 Speeches

**Boyar'sNephew** · November 18, 2007, 08:53 PM

Is it just me, or do all the original factions (France, HRE, England, etc) no longer do their full pre-battle speeches in SS 5.1? They all seem to have defaulted to the one liner, no matter who the opponent is.

For some reason, this bothers/distracts me. I'm a speech kinda guy. Anyone know of a fix for this?

thanks!

I miss the long speeches too. But i think its meant to be so in the kingdoms engine.

Is there no way to get longer speeches rather than the one lines currently?

No idea, will have to ask the pro modders.

In m2tw/mods/ss/data there is file descr_sounds_db Open it with notepad and by looking at the vanilla version change accordingly so that there are only factions which really speak one liners like in vanilla. After that delete 2 events files in sound folder. Hope this works

Wow thanks for the info.

Hey, thanks for the advice. However, while I can find the descr_sounds_db file in SS, it doesn't seem to be in the data folder for vanilla. Am I just blind, or is it stached somewhere else?

You are blind

No really, unless you deleted it somehow, it should be in the data folder.

Did you check in the mods folder for SS? Oh, and I copied over the sounds thing, how can I fix that (if possible)?

**Sarpedon** · November 27, 2007, 04:09 PM

As a skilless hack I was unable to modify the sounds_db file correctly. Has anyone achieved this? Feel like uploading the file here? I'll buy you a round if you get to Boston.

i remember someone modded 4.1 to have full speaches for all factions, you could try to find them and see if they will do it for 5.1

**Chim** · November 28, 2007, 02:08 AM

I hardly doubt that will work Nightbringer, because you would have to replace the 5.1 sound files which are neccesairy for the mod to work properly. It might be possible to "mod the 4.1 mod" so that it is compatible.
