Please report any issues in this thread. Thanks!

EDIT: A new version of the installer has been uploaded, replacing the first one, and fixing the issues brought up by NIKO below.

EIDT: The French soundpack has now been uploaded. The Italian soundpack will hopefully be added soon!

I found two small errors in install xenophonia.bat need write "ECHO" befor strings with word "Make", but it not fatal error
Second is more seriusly( it may did not work mod(for me maybe only)) ) in xenophonia.bat

but it not work for Voice , so if mod not work jast replace folder Voice from *:\M2TW\data\sound\data\sounds\Voice to *:\M2TW\data\sound
and delete Voice*.idx and Voice*.dat and events.idx and events.dat

[Beiss]

Yes, you're right - it would be very easy to change the mod so that it included French and Italian speech if someone sent me the samples.

The problems you mentioned are now fixed. You can now also choose to make the Italians and Portuguese speak Spanish. Read the README for more instructions.

To Beiss answer for you pm(not work mail - database error ))

I delete folders voise / music / sfx from mod and delete voice1-3 , music , sfx all *.dat and *.idx and delete events.idx and events.dat , so game is runing and work without any sound and in strat and in battle, game create new files 1Kb size )) but events.idx 16 Kb and events.dat 999 Kb

I think if you dont make same chenges in sfx and music folder, they no need unpack and repack(when run game) latelly, i think need delete events.idx and events.dat becouse size this files in vanilla and mod is different...they formed then run game...

ps Thanks very match for make my offer about italian fraction !

EDIT BY BEISS:

If you delete all of the idx and dat files in the sounds folder, the game will start but without sound. The game creates the events.dat and events.idx itself from the documents in the data folder. If the folders Music, Sfx, and Voice do not exist in the data\sounds folder, the new idx and dat files will be 1kB large. I knew this already.

What I want you to test is what happens if you delete all of the voice.dat and voice.idx, and also events.dat and events.idx, delete the music folder and sfx folder, BUT - keep the voice folder and music.idx, music.dat, sfx.dat, sfx.idx. Will the music work now?

I cant activate the spanish plus bat. all the other sounds work, including spanish, but portugal still speaks vanilla.
I cant understand a word the're saying, and I luv it. Well done I love this mod you and shigy(for the EB voicemod) are legends

[♔ST0MPA♔]

Actualy only the spanish speak using the mod, the rest are all vannilla

You must have done something wrong when installing the mod. If the Germans don't speak German, you must have put their soundpack in the wrong folder.

[Beiss]

Hm. The only thing the spanishplus thingy does is that it switches descr_sounds_accents.txt with descx_sounds_accents.txt. If run twice, it resets the change it just did. So if you run it 3 times, it does the same thing as if you run it once, and if you run it 2 or 4 times that's the same as not running it at all.

Open the file named descr_sounds_accents.txt and look under where it says "accent spanish" (at the bottom of the document). If the row under that one contains the italians and the portuguese, then they should speak Spanish. If they don't, you must have either started the game before running the spanishplus.bat, or you must have run spanishplus.bat an even number of times.

So, what you can do to fix the problem is to examine the end of the descr_sounds_accents.txt document as described above. If the last row does contain the Italians and Portuguese, then go to your data\sounds folder and delete events.idx, events.dat, voice1.idx, voice1.dat, voice3.idx, and voice3.dat, and then run the game. If the last row contains only spanish, then run spanishplus.bat and then delete the files I just mentioned before starting the game. Should work.

[PurpleScotch]

Great!! I will test now!
EDIT: Is arabic in this pack?
EDIT2: There isn't I know...

[♔ST0MPA♔]

ok you were correct regarding the spain plus, i tried to reinstall to get germans and russians and noticed an error when i ran the first instaler that 7 files didnt unzip. I re-downloaded and recieved same error.

I LOVE THIS MOD I LOVE THIS MOD I LOVE THIS MOD I LOVE THIS MOD I LOVE THIS MOD
EDIT: cause im a twit.
Anyway I got it work. you see i thought i was smart, and copied sound folder to mod data folder and did it that way, got spain working but no german or russian, so i then did what i was suppose to and installed in main m2tw directory deleted recomended files. as soon as i started my mod it took a long time before thew game started to main menu. That was the instant I realized it was about to work. and it now does.
Honor dictates that I inform you I intend to atta... sorry i mean thanks for your help your responses were quick and precise, and i thank you for that.

p.s. I luv this mod did i tell you that.

[Beiss]

Please, tell me which 7 files didn't unpack, (or at least at which point during the installation) and I'll try to fix it.

[mac89]

Ah, great! Sorry for my long absence, holidays and all. Ill finish whatever I have left these few weeks.

[♔ST0MPA♔]

I edited my post also the extractor is working ok now:hmmm:

im a worry arnt I?

[Beiss]

That's fine. Maybe I should clarify in the readme that the installer does the whole thing for you, and that there's no need to mess with the files and folders yourself. Thing is, I wasn't sure it actually worked the first time I uploaded it, and apparently, there were some bugs in the first version, but everything looks like it works now that I fixed the things that Niko brought up.

I reinstall mod with new install and spanish for italian, so i think no need unpack music and sfx (you dont make same chenge in here ? ) becouse i try take music/sfx dat and idx fron vannila and game work fine with Xeno voice , but need delete events.dat and idx

You mast write in readme haw make Xeno for mod , jast write all files from instalator (/data) in mod/data and place events.dat and idx from Xeno ( need install first time for vanilla, run game for creation this files and take it) in mod/data/sound folder

EDIT BY BEISS: If you add Italian as its own language (like Spanish) you will need to remove the existing voice.idx and .dat files, as well as the events.idx and .dat files, and the game will make new ones if you have the voice folder. The next installer I make will not unpack music and sfx and we'll see if it still works. I don't really know what you wanted to say, your English is funny sometimes...

[♔ST0MPA♔]

maybe you should also mention that the spainplus will only change a text file, i assumed it would have done more wich is why i paniked when it only flashed for a second and so I clicked it several times.

one more thing, when in discussions with diplomats, the text for spain looks like a command line while the rest are all ok

EDIT BY BEISS

You're right, I should put in a pause command in spanishplus so people know it actually does something. About the Spanish text boxes - I haven't edited that part... thanks for pointing it out. Mind you, I won't have access to the actual game in a few weeks, so I'm modding blindfolded here. Hehe

[burrek]

I just installed your mod and I'm really excited.

The Germans speak GERMAN! WOW. I hate the cartoon accent in the base game. The Russians also sound excellent and not like a bunch of constipated retards.

I encountered a few problems in the installation:

- The voice .mp3 files were installed in the /data/sound/data/sound/voice/xxx directory.
-The event.dat and event.sub were missing from your installation.

I also found a few bugs in the implementation (although these are likely due to my usage of a custom mod, yet I did not find anything in my mod that messed with faction names, sounds, or accents)

- Danes spoke Russian
- The Spanish accent did not change

[Beiss]

Hmm. You're saying the voice folders were in data\sounds\data\sounds instead of in data\sounds? That's not good. And the Spanish accent didn't change, and the Danes spoke Russian?

Sounds like you were using the old installer.

Look in this thread and see if it helps. If not, come back and I'll try to guide you through this. Are you sure you have the new installer, and that you've put all 3 sound packs in data\sounds before running the installer?

Also, the files events.dat and events.idx aren't supposed to be in the installation, so there's nothing wrong there. I haven't done anything with the events.sub... If you've copied the events.dat and events.idx from the vanilla_backup folder into the data\sounds folder, then that could cause some issues. Launch the game and it will create new events.dat and events.idx by itself if there aren't any there already.

Come back if you still have problems after reading the thread I just linked you to. I don't really know what you've done wrong, unless you've been using the first installer (which you shouldn't).

Another thing - search your entire M2TW folder for files starting with "Spanish_". Check their location. They're supposed to be in the m2tw\data\sounds\voice\xxx folder.

[burrek]

OK, looks like I was using the first installer. I downloaded the other version and it works

Thanks!
