No BMap voices (Miles, Urban Spear e.t.c)

**Snucker** · April 11, 2012, 04:29 PM

Hi Guys

I´m having a bit of a problem, that I can´t seem to fix myself...

When I click certain units, like Miles, Late Pikemen, Urban Spear Militia, Late Musketeers, they don´t say anything, but all the other sounds are there (swords clashing, orders given when they move and so forth)..

Musketeers, Tercio´s and other, similar units, have their voices.. so I am at a loss...

I am playing SS 6.4, no submods apart from my own tweaks, none of which have ever touched the sound files or anything related to them, on a windows 7 64 bit machine (I have tried with UAC off, and I have deleted the sound files, to no avail)

I just wanted to know if this was a known issue or not? I couldn´t find anything regarding this exact problem on the forums?

(as most others seem to loose every sound)

I know how you feel, I also have this issue, curious that I also have win7 64bits. (I have UAC enabled but my game is not on "C:/program files x86", it is in C:/games/medieval...."

there are some files in the ss6.3 folder, which are "export_descr_sounds_units_voice" "export_descr_sounds_soldier_voice"; I don't have the patience to look into them now, neither I am sure but I think this files may be related to this issue.

I hope someone can help with this problem.

I too was thinking it had something to do with those files, but it didn´t seem to help to add "Miles" instead of the "Theigns" unit... hmm. But I´m "glad"

that I´m not the only one

I know that there´s some problems with voices for mongols and so forth, but these units should have a voice

I too hope someone with more experience can help

You added the units without voices to the EDSUV?
If they are in there, you also have to delete the SFX.dat/idx and Events.dat and .idx from the SS6.3/data/sounds folder.
They should work after that, providing that every faction with said units has a voice added for them in the EDSUV.

I tried adding the "Miles", however it didn´t work

And I deleted SFX.dat/idx several times. still nothing

Where in the EDSUV did you add the Miles?
Also, in the export_descr_unit, do they have an accent?
Miles are Norman Cavalry in the EDU, btw.

**Snucker** · April 18, 2012, 10:39 AM

I figured that one out after much searching

I added the "Miles Pedites" instead of the "theigns" unit to no avail. The theigns werent used, and were heavy inf.

They do not have an accent though

I´ll try and add those later tonight and report back

EDU Miles pedites

**Snucker** · April 19, 2012, 12:31 PM

Tried giving them an accent. DIdn´t work. Changed "miles pedites" to "Dismounted Norman Cavalry" in the EDUS, didn´t work....

**Silver Legionary** · April 19, 2012, 06:24 PM

Make sure that whatever unit the Miles Pedites are in the EDU match what you added in
the EDSUV.

Also, make sure to delete the events .dat/.idx and SFX.idx and .dat EVERY time you change the EDSUV.

Silver Legionary, I thank you for your help !

I figured most of it out, and I got voices for my miles.. sadly, I am now aware that even more of my units are missing voices, and I discovered that my EDSUV must be a relic from 6.3 as the irish are still in it (Muires and so forth)... I don´t suppose I could get you to upload your EDSUV?

(and I think you have the same issue vlakc, try to look in your EDSUV and tell me if you too have the irish units till?)

**Snucker** · April 20, 2012, 08:48 PM

.... A quick search goes to show that I´m an idiot,,,

Known Bug... I now, however, know that I´ts not my game only, and I know the cause. They changed a lot of the names on the units, but didn´t rename them in the EDSUV, which caused them to loose their voices. Not un-fixable, just requires a lot of time...

**Snucker** · April 21, 2012, 06:19 PM

I have now fixed the in-game voices! Sadly, I have only fixed them for myself (in the sense that my EDU is too heavily modified to share with you, unless you want my changes

)

**Silver Legionary** · April 27, 2012, 02:38 AM

Sorry about the terribly late reply.

Glad to be of assistance.
I had a feeling you would fix it over the last few days.

And yeah, a LOT of SS units don't have voices, or have incorrect ones.

Also, can you upload your EDSUV?
I can just Winmerge the changes into mine(it's heavily sub-modded anyway).

**Snucker** · July 01, 2012, 12:39 PM

oh God ! Speaking of late replies !

Sure, I´ll upload it if you still want it

. But I just discovered even more missing voices, and faults. In the EDU, some units have the "light" voice, but use the "heavy" voice in the EDSUV.

Currently, I am missing voices for; Prussian Axemen, Eastern Spearmen (Smolensk Infantry), Steppe Alans and Prussian Infantry (that I know of). I have tried everything, but I cant seem to get them to work

And now I am sorry for the very late reply

I worked on fixing the rest of the voices of M2TW then stopped as exams began to approach ....

**Snucker** · July 01, 2012, 01:24 PM

Nevermind, just fixed them too

I´ll throw it up now. I can´t guarantee that I got them all, but at least some of them are/should be, gone. But I think you need to change some units light/heavy thing in the EDU as well, and as before stated, my EDU is modded so much that it almost isn´t ss anymore either.

On another note, I opened up teotunic campaign, just to check if the sounds there where ok. Man... It´s amazing what the SS team has achieved when looking at vanilla... even though the biggest change will always be Rome vanilla to RTR/EB

**Eodez** · August 11, 2012, 10:04 PM

Bit of a necrobump I suppose but I wanted to try and clarify something if possible, you mentioned that your EDU was heavily modded, does that heavily affect how I'd merge the two export_descr_sounds files with the SS one? I've worked with many other files but the descr_sounds_unit file is one I'm inexperienced with.
