Changing a Unit: "Muslim Archers" to "Arab Archers"

[Lord Giovanni]

Hey everybody,

When playing as Sicily in M2TW, I've always found Muslim archers to be an oddity, as they are still referred to as Muslims even after Siciliy becomes 100% Catholic.

In hopes of correcting this, I was hoping to change their unit name from "Muslim Archers" to "Arab Archers" and their voice overs from "Muslim Archers!" to an Arabic-accented "Archers!"

All of my data .txt files have been unpacked.

How should I go about doing this? Thanks and reps will be the reward!

For the name, go to data/text/export_units.txt, and search for "Muslim Archers" outside of the {} brackets, and replace where needed. Don't change anything inside of the {} brackets. I cannot help you with the voice change, but I do know that in the data/export_descr_units.txt file, the Sicilian Muslim Archers unit already has Accent Arabic, so I do not know what else to do there.

@Giovanni
2 things that you want are:-

1) Muslim Archers to Arab Archers(were Sicilian Muslims Arabs? Anyways...)
Open the Export_units.txt file in the data\text folder and Press CTRL+F in your notepad. Type it's name that is "Muslim Archers"
It will take you directly to that entry and then change it this way:-

{Sicilian_Muslim_Archers}Muslim Archers
to
{Sicilian_Muslim_Archers}Arab Archers

2) Second you want the voice that we hear when we click the unit on battle map to change so for that download the files that Moon attached in his post and put all 39 of them in the data folder of your mod.
After that open the export_descr_sounds_units_voice.txt file.
Again Press CTRL+F and type "Muslim archers" without quotes of course.

It will take you to that entry directly which is:-

unit Sicilian Muslim Archers
event
     folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
             Arabic_Light_sicilian_muslim_archers_1.wav
             Arabic_Light_sicilian_muslim_archers_2.wav
     end

Change it to

unit Sicilian Muslim Archers
event
     folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
             Arabic_Light_Generic_Archers_1.wav
             Arabic_Light_Generic_Archers_2.wav
     end

Now save your changes and delete all the .dat and .idx files in the data\sounds folder and start the game to see the changes in your game.
Good Luck!
