Changing faction 'acceents'?

[Halgrim]

Is it possible to change the accent of factions playerside? For instance, I do not like the the accent given to the scandinavian factions. How, if possible, can I change it to something else?

[gaunty14]

Yes but I've never been able to do it partly because I simply couldn't be arsed and put up with it. The solution is in descr sounds_accents, it lists each accent and which factions use it. i.e.

accent East_European
factions kievan_rus, russia, poland, hungary, denmark, norway, lithuania

I presume there are other files you need to edit like deleting events.dat/dix (its a sound change so it seems logical), as just changing the factions around doesn't alter the game.

[Halgrim]

Yeah, only changing the descr_sounds_ accents didn't do anything. Do you know exactly which other files must be altered/deleted?

And on a related note: in another mod I am playing there are untis with both one-handed and two-handed melee attacks. How can i disable one or the other?

[gaunty14]

Well as long as you've only changed the accents deleting the event.dat/dix can't hurt (just back it up) as it will rebuild itself when you start the mod.

Yeah, would sound better if they had English/German accents.

You also have to go to each unit in the EDU and change its accent.

Ahhh. Does that apply to their campaign map voice or just battle map shouting.

[k/t]

What you said is for the campaign map, what I said is for the battle map. "Heavy infantry!", "Knights!" and stuff like that.

Sorry for necro'ing an old thread, but if I understand correctly, I go to descr_sounds_accents and change that, then to the EDU and change those? And that's it?

Nothing to be sorry about.

I always thought it was funny how units say their own name. Reminds me of this:

Indeed. But am I correct in my assumptions?
