Changing Victory Sounds

[generalnyne]

My questions is this : "I downloaded the IDX extractor and I am working with the Voice3.dat and Voice3.idx files located in my C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\sounds folder.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to repack my extracted folder. How do I repack it properly so that it ends up overwriting the original Voice3.dat and Voice3.idx.

I am still reading the read-me and I am having no luck.

If you want to download the IDX extractor you can find it here if the link does not work for you for whatever reason you can find it here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...?do=file&id=32

I'll help you out. Follow these steps carefully:
You've downloaded the IDX extractor map with all the files i assume, if so then copy the following file and put it in the map where you put the extract_sounds.bat and the xidx.exe file (Which should be C:/Program Files/Activision/Rome - Total War/data/sounds folder). Copy and paste the file pack_example_music_idx.bat in that map.
When you've done that right click on that same file and edit the file into the following if you ONLY want to edit the voice3.dat and idx file:

.\xidx.exe -cf Voice3.idx data\sounds\music\*
pause

Do the same if you want to edit ONLY one of the other files. You'll get it
Then double click on the pack_example_music_idx.bat file and your new Voice3.idx and Voice3.dat files will be created.
Good luck
