Fix for "No voices in non english game"

Simply open \[mod folder]\data\descr_sounds_accents.txt and move the 'mute' factions into a fitting, working accent slot then save the file. See example below.
Then delete the \[mod folder]\data\sounds\events.DAT and IDX file and start your mod.

accent English
    factions england, normans, saxons, scotland

accent Scottish
    factions scotland

It has been done but it didn't work
I think that the trouble comes from the fact that I've added some sound files from my own install in the current version and they may cause troubles instead of solving them. Unfortunately, I haven't found the time yet to test my assumption

[Gigantus]

Well, if a faction is silent then it's an issue of an unsupported accent.
If moving the faction's entry didn't work then it's a procedural error, like wrong format of the TXT file, virtual store issue etc

Fear not, here is yet another tutorial: Creating a World - Developer's Setup Kit for Sound Editing

[Prugalo]

Made a fresh install, a small thing that I noticed is every merchant trading in linen, actually trades in sulfur although the icon shows linen (if you right click on them it says trading with sulfur). Playing as HRE, saw this in Flanders.

Hmm, seems there are a lot of weirdly placed resources in 096. Checked descr_strat, I see tobacco in poland and germany, camels in england,...

Resources are actually ok, only the descriptions are wrong in your installation. The game overwrites the SSHIP resources names with the vanilla names, I think. I've got the same situation, but I haven't bother to reinstal my SSHIP built.
Maybe @Lifthrasir knows more about technicalities and my check if it's ok with the SSHIP.

fyi, the names of resources in the SSHIP (and their prices)

I keep having crashes after rebel is supposed to move to mine which I can't even always reproduce. Very annoying. Is there anything I can do about this?

I keep having crashes after rebel is supposed to move to mine which I can't even always reproduce. Very annoying. Is there anything I can do about this?

To close the previous thing: doesn't have anything with the names of resources.

But I don't understand when the CTD happens: when a rebel (a general who rebelle, so it's the "slave" faction now) is supposed (how do you know?) to mine (a mine on a map?).

[nvm]

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding, I forgot a word there. I meant, the crash happens right when the rebel TURN is about to end, which would make it my turn. At least I think it's when their turn is about to end.

[Jurand of Cracow]

Well, you need to post the log (or rather a few last lines) here.
And before in the .cfg change
level = * error
into
level = * trace

[nvm]

That's the thing...I know how error logs work, it just seems to be nothing relevant. Just an unspecified error. I suppose I could the save here and see if anyone else gets such a crash. Maybe my install is cursed, but this never happened with any other mods, just SSHIP. And I've resinstalled everything, first SS 6.3, then 6.4, then SSHIP, then your patch. Here's an excerpt from the error log either way.

I'm also interested how to make these names working for myself :-)

I've got no idea from the log what could have been a reason for the crash.

[nvm]

I ended up getting another crash at the end of Seljuks of Persia's turn instead...I guess all I can do at this point is post the cursed save, and see if anyone can load it and end turn without problems.

Also the stuff in log was different this time, but not like that matters anyway.

I also get a crash during the slave faction turn (but not Seljucs), and also nothing shows up in the log.

[Gigantus]

First log - check in the script what gets triggered by this event and if the supporting text entry in text\historic_events exists: religion_culture_info

Second log - appears a slave army got defeated during a siege, I think they were the attacker. Not sure what might have triggered the crash, don't think it's connected to the faction_standing reference unless the trigger has been edited: 0055b_T_Invasion_Flee

First - you're right, Gigantus, there's an error in the description title so the game thought it doesn't exist.

-----------
@nvm: this is the patch for you.
You load it into the data/text folder, then delete the related .bin file.
I've checked: the save moves on.

-----------

Second - I haven't dealt with it and I don't know if it was modified, but what I see doesn't look fishy. As I've checked in another mod relevant file - it's identical.

I'm not well versed in scripts and coding and such things, but applying Gigantus comments about nvm's 1st crash regarding "religion_culture_info" above i looked into my historic_events.txt file and found:

I don't know if copy-paste did a thing here, so i won't comment on the "Serbia"-event containing Order-related stuff, but:
There is no "teutonic_order"-named event here, only a bunch of slightly similar named ones regarding them. Maybe thats the problem my game encountered?

Playing with the "Patch_10_01_2020", not yet the newer one from January 19th. Clean install of SS6.4 and SSHIP0.9.6.
Great work from all of you, by the way, and great support!

[Jurand of Cracow]

To explain: the serbia_title was ok before, because in the script the teutonic order mechanism was accidentaly broken. Briefly: teutonic_order faction (in SS) was transformed into serbia (SSHIP), and recently Lifthrasir replaced all the "teutonic_order" codes with "serbia" to make things clear. However, it created a bug in the script where "teutonic_order" didn't refer to the faction, but to a historical event (related to the teutonic knights) that was used also in the script.
To make enable the players campaign to continue campaign, in the text file I've replaced that teutonic order serbia so that the script finds it description. However, in the meantime it seems the was reversed in the script, but not in the text... ugh. Now, I'll just replace both in script and in description so that it's clear in the future.

Anyway, this file should be ok, try it - should be save-compatible.

[Gigantus]

@Jurand - I suggest you use withwnar's checker for stuff like missing text for historic_events.

[Malagricus]

It did indeed work marvellously.
Thanks for that, Jurand!

- Lithuanian priests. Only the starting one is a Shaman, all the others are named as High Priests it seems. Besides, hovering on them on the strategic map gives a bugged localization name. Furthermore, they seem to gain Piety MUCH slower than Christian priests.

- Norwergian FL seems to be bugged concerning marriage. Despite starting single, he got the trait Danish Wife. Furthermore, after I eventually did marry a Danish princess, new debutantes kept showing up for him, allowing him to marry again, losing all the wife's previous traits, maybe except for Danish Wife. I also don't recall he actually having kids with the princess, but their marriage only lasted a few turns so...
