Sound Add-On

bump

added some info

For clarification...is this new Sound Add-on giving the same as the original Sound\Sound folder that I already have installed in the Sam Wars main dir?? From when we first started playing/testing the Mod?
That was the one that caused some players a lot of 'hassle' trying to manually install the files into the right place.

Good work R'as.

Hi Jochi,

no this is totally different to the sound swapper that Tosa made.
This add-on is for those who don't have STW, don't have it installled, don't want to use the swapper, have failed to use the swapper, etc.
It contains all the sound files needed. (that's why the download is so big)There's no need for a STW install.
Install routine should not cause any problems as long as pointed at the main folder of Medieval.

Hi R'as

Thanks for the update.

I wont need to download and install this one because I already have the STW Sounds file in my MTW/VI install of Samurai Warlords Beta5 and Beta8. (two separate installs)

One advantage of doing it the way that I have done it is that you only need to swap the sound files once and leave them as STW. A straight forward log in to the game from the Desktop shortcut.

I appreciate not all players have the HDD space to use separate installs.

FYI,
between Tosa's sound swapper and this add-on there're some differences in the result. I've changed a few more files. You'll miss the new archer sound, the changed rain and several others.
Everyone who's satisfied with his version doesn't need this download. It won't affect compatibility.
Those that use beta_8 gain the most I imagine.
Those that only play MP can either use Tosa's swapper (if they have original STW installed) or the above posted beta_5 sound add-on.

Hi R'as

A query about the Installer.....

Clicking next will give you the message...

"target folder does not exist do you want to create one"

It is looking for the target...

C:\Programs\Medieval Total War...which will create a folder called Medieval Total War, sitting next to the Total War folder

I think the target should read...

C:\program files\total war\medieval total war depending on where your Total War folder is located (for example mine is in E:)

It looks as if you have missed out the ...\Total War\ part of it.

Or does it require players to use the Browse option for finding their own install path?

Please clarify
