missing campaign speeches

[andqui]

hello-

For some reason, none of my generals/captains give speeches before battle. I've played vanilla for a year and just started SS, and i've never had the speeches. They were there in Rome, and over the course of a year I've reinstalled several times, but I've yet to see a speach. Any suggestions/help?


thanks

Which factions have you played?

[andqui]

Several-

England, France, Moors, Denmark, Mongols, Scotland, Venice, Genoa (Milan), and some others.

At the start of the battle, the camera floats around looking at the troops, but my general doesn't give some deep and profound speech.

I always get my speeches with SS6.1

Does the camera just roam around until you click start deployment or what?

This was bug in SS 5.1 but in SS 6.1 speeches are fine.

thanks for the replies

It's been like this the whole time. With vanilla, vanilla patched, SS, anything. After the splash screen, the camera pans around my forces, sometimes getting in close. I can hear wind gusts and armor clinking, etc., but no speech. I admit that i haven't watched it to the end, but since nothing's happening, i skip it and hit "start deployment".

What localisation version of M2TW are you using (i.e. US, UK, German etc).

[andqui]

i would assume that it's the US version. That's where i bought it, and the box and instructions are in english. I can't find where it says for sure.

It'd be the US version then. Hmmm...I just find it very odd that you didn't get any speeches in vanilla, let alone SS :hmmm:

export_descr_sounds_prebattle.txt is the file you want.

But you will only find it in your stainless steel directories. Pretty sure in the vanilla files it would still be packed.

[andqui]

allright, thanks. i'll check it tommorow. So if it's just a text file, what's it supposed to look like? A kind of script?

[andqui]

I think i found the problem:

In the descr_prebattle sound text file it keeps directing to a folder at
data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Pre_Battle_Speech.


I can't find that folder anywhere. In my SS section the sounds folder just contains effect_evt, music, SFX, and a buynch of .dat and .idx files.

In the main file directory the sound file isn't anywhere i can see. Probably packed.

[Caesar Clivus]

Not the problem I'm afraid. If the game can't find the files in the SS directory, it looks for them in the main M2TW packed files. So the game would be finding them even if you can't see them

I would like to bumb this as I am currently playing as the turks. I dont get any speeches and this is the first faction I have played since I installed 6.1 I noticed this.
I tryed a custom battle as the moors and well the speech was there for them.

Since they use the same middle_eastern speeches how come only the turks is gone? What should I change to get it back and do you guys have battle speeches as the turks?

[knoshy]

Hey at all, i had the same problem, but the solution is in easy ^^

Go to the Stainless Steel data folder, then to sounds and delete the 2 files for the events,the sfx and the voices.

Next time you start Medieval SS6.0 or 6.1 it will rebuild the files and you get the sounds and prebattle speeches.

I did it cause my Kievan rus wont talk before battle, nopw he cant stop talkin ^^

I own the german and the us version of the game anbd it works fine in both.

Hope this helps you.

Have a nice day

greetings from germany

[Barser]

knoshy: That didn't work i'm afraid thanks for answering though.

Anyone else having this problem as the turks?
What could be the problem?

Barser are you running XP or Vista?

[Barser]
