Ok the file you want is export_descr_sounds_units_voice.txt.

Open it up and find out what file it sources for the greeks Heavy_1. The vanilla is:

folder           data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_Heavy_1_Groups_Created_1.wav

for the first entry and similar ones follow. If its different you need to change all the entries to the vanilla ones.

[Thor the Bassist]

Not sure I follow there?

[anelious phyros]

what's with all the coding?

[Thor the Bassist]

Oh dont open the .dat file. You shouldn't need to fiddle with that. If you want to change voices get the .idx extractor and extract all the wav files. They are all packed up for vanilla.

[anelious phyros]

oh, thanks.

[Spartan198]

Ok the file you want is export_descr_sounds_units_voice.txt.

Open it up and find out what file it sources for the greeks Heavy_1. The vanilla is:

folder           data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_Heavy_1_Groups_Created_1.wav

for the first entry and similar ones follow. If its different you need to change all the entries to the vanilla ones.

Okay, found the file (the vanilla RTW version). But it has three different entries for hoplite elites like the one below:

unit greek hoplite elite
event
folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_General_1_name_greek_hoplite_elite_1.wav
folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_General_1_name_greek_hoplite_elite_2.wav
folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_General_1_name_greek_hoplite_elite_3.wav
group
end

All look to be exactly the same. What next?

[Thor the Bassist]

I recon get ur hands on the vanilla idx and dat files named voice1 voice2 and voice3 that are in the sounds folder unless you have some other voices you really dont want to lose in which case unpack the voices with edx extractor change the wav files to vanilla and then re-pack.

[Spartan198]

I think I found something.

This from vanilla Rome:

unit greek hoplite elite
event
folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_Heavy_1_name_greek_hoplite_elite_1.wav
folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_Heavy_1_name_greek_hoplite_elite_2.wav
folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_Heavy_1_name_greek_hoplite_elite_3.wav
group
end

And this one from XGM:

unit greek pikemen,greek hoplite,merc greek phalangites,greek hoplite elite,egyptian nile infantry
event
folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_Heavy_1_name_greek_pikemen_1.wav
folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_Heavy_1_name_greek_pikemen_2.wav
folder data/sounds/Voice/Human/Localized/Battle_Map
Greek_Heavy_1_name_greek_pikemen_3.wav
group
end

Would I remove greek hoplite elite from the unit list at the top of the XGM quote, and then paste the vanilla RTW entry into the XGM file?

[Thor the Bassist]

I believe so

Backup and try

[Spartan198]

Okay. Do I need to put the vanilla entry in a specific place, or not (within the sound file, I mean)?

[Aradan]

That's right, as long as you take care to keep them in the appopriate culture/voice-type section of the file (they should be there already anyway) You'll need to provide the sound file though.

[Spartan198]

So as long as it's bunched in with the Greek_Heavy voices, I can put it anywhere in the file?
