Use of existing voice for new units

[maksimus]

It did not work for me with the existing way of adding voices

notably, the names of units they shout when you click on them.

they have voice when move and fight but not when they need to say the name of the unit when you click on them

anyone know the answer pls? I am modding alx.exe

Edit export_descr_sounds_units_voice.txt. And backup events.dat and events.idx before renaming/moving them.

example.

end
unit hellenistic infantry argyraspidai, RS hellenistic infantry argyraspidai, alexandros infantry argyraspidai
event maxdist 140
folder eb/data/sounds/Greek3/units
argyraspidai1.wav
argyraspidai2.wav
group
end

this did not work.
also events.dat should be deleted before i load new game with the changes? But i did that, and game loaded new events.dat and this did not give voice.

i have no idea where is events.idx tho and what to do with it o.O

unit hellenistic infantry argyraspidai, RS hellenistic infantry argyraspidai, alexandros infantry argyraspidai
event maxdist 140
folder eb/data/sounds/Greek3/units
argyraspidai1.wav
argyraspidai2.wav
group
end

The events.idx is in the data/sounds/ folder like events.dat. As long as you have the sound files in the right place (In this case the eb mod folder) it should work. Although you might have to ask the EB team about their sounds, as I am not familiar with that mod and its folder organisations.
Good luck!

the other file doesnt exist hah

yeah, how to modify the unit sounds then? I worked with BI, and try to put sounds to my new units with export_descr_sounds_units_voice, but that wasn't working....

oh, how did you edit events.idx? it gave weird symbols upon opening

Do not touch events.idx, rename or delete events.dat, assuming you didn't make any errors sounds will be there for the units you added. If there was still an events.dat then you did not delete it properly as the game does not generate a new one.
