Trouble with Sound

**♔Old Dragoon♔** · October 16, 2009, 10:37 AM

I am having problems with sound for 6.2. No sounds coming from units druing battles, characters on campaign map...cut scenes are missing etc. Any help would be great.

Delete all the .dat and .idx files in SS\data\sounds

**♔Old Dragoon♔** · October 17, 2009, 08:33 AM

I have done that several times and they reappear. I delete, boot up the game try to see if a princess or priest or whatever will talk they do not, I then quit check the sounds folder and like magic those damn files are back there. At a loss...

Are you running the german version of the game? cut-scenes were disabled.

**♔Old Dragoon♔** · October 17, 2009, 10:21 AM

I bought the english version...or do you mean the mod? I saw something about the the cut-scenes from the german version. Anyway, update on my dilema. It appears my kingdoms was corrupted thus having no sound for characters. I am at present re-installing uggh. Thanks for the help thus far.

Update: finally got it working...now the cut scenes I still need help...anyone.

What do you mean by cutscenes? Do you mean during battles when generals are killed and city gates are breached?

Oh and FYI, when you delete the .idx and .dat files, they are supposed to reappear. The game rebuilds them to include any changes/new files

I gathered that they are supposed to reappear since they kept reappearing after figuring out that my damn 'nilla files were corrupted. The cut scenes are as you described. How do get them back? Thanks for the help!

Open up Stainless_steel_kingdoms.cfg (in the mods\Stainles_Steel_6 folder). Look for the event_cutscenes line. Make sure it is set to 1.

Could seem simple - but have you got sound muted in game?

**♔Old Dragoon♔** · October 18, 2009, 09:44 AM

Think you Caesar, that should have done the trick! Now I can get my Irish AAR up and running...Sorry Vaz, but game is not muted.

No problem - I look forward to reading your AAR

Just thought I'd make the suggestion - if you press the function button on my laptop, it sends the game all funny - loading the last save, muting the game, resizing the screen, etc, so I have to be careful. Glad everything is sorted though
