no explosion sound, why?

Hello all
I've modded mounted crossbowmen so they are shooting flaming arrows up high and when they are hitting ground there is a boom like grand bombards do. There is almost all ok, animation and damage is taken well, but there is no boom sound when explosion animation is playing. I dont know why is that.

I added this to descr_projectile.txt:

Code:

projectile my_serpentine_shot effect arrows_fire_new_set end_effect ground_impact_grand_bombard_set end_man_effect man_impact_catapult_set end_package_effect wall_impact_medium_set end_shatter_effect ground_impact_grand_bombard_set end_shatter_man_effect man_impact_catapult_set end_shatter_package_effect wall_impact_medium_set ;area_effect ae_mortar_shot damage 10 damage_to_troops 1 radius 0.3 mass 0.4 area 1.5 accuracy_vs_units 0.03 accuracy_vs_buildings 0.04 accuracy_vs_towers 0.025 min_angle -15 max_angle 60 prefer_high velocity 55, 30 ground_shatter ;bounce 0.01 0.01 0.93 0.5 body_piercing display aimed ;effect_only ; Stuck model not used at the mo, shatter effect is better, but adding some shatter debris for ground impact would be good? ;stuck effect_only

And this to export_descr_unit.txt:

Code:

The question is how i can make that sound working? Thanks.

Re: no explosion sound, why?

i dont see i can edit my post, in second example i posted wrong version, it should be
stat_pri 12, 3, my_serpentine_shot, 450, 2, siege_missile, artillery_gunpowder, blunt, none, 25, 1
instead of
stat_pri 12, 3, my_serpentine_shot, 450, 0.75, siege_missile, artillery_gunpowder, blunt, none, 25, 1

Re: no explosion sound, why?

Third post in a row lol, but i want just to say that i finally found a solution. Below is a quick guide for those of you who will have the same problem someday.

I assume that ur unit is already added to export_descr_unit.txt and playable in a game.

1. Download "Sound text files" from
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=1110
and unpack it to the m2tw/data folder

2. Change attributes of new files to 'Archive', because they are come with read only attribute.

3. Open file descr_sounds_weapons.txt. Find a unit that u would like your unit have sound like. It would look like this

unit Elephant Artillery:pri, Elephant Artillery Mercs:pri, NE Culverin, ...

Add to the end of this line your unit name and save a file.

4. In order to your changes take effect in a game u have to remove files
- events.dat
- events.idx
from m2tw/data/sounds directory. Don't worry they will be recreated when u run a game.

5. Run a game and enjoy.
