Editting the sound files

[TWFanatic]

Hello,

I am adding some new units to my game, in particular new hoplites (I have ALEX.exe). I was curious how I could make these new hoplites speak Greek like the original Classical Hoplites. What files do I need to edit and what operations do I perform in these?

umm... just assing them one of the existent voices...

go to the EDU look for hoplitai (clasical hoplites) , copy the block text and paste it, do whatever changes you might wan't to do

any doubts?

I could help you step by step on how to add more units if you wish

[TWFanatic]

I am quite experienced with adding units and familiar with the major files (DMB, EDB, EDU, etc.). I have not editted the sound files for several years though which is why I asked. From what you have said it sounds quite simple so I will give it a go and see if it works--thanks.

I'll be looking forward to that =] Alex.exe has so many unit slots that many of the units that were left out could use...

...and can ya fix some of the sound bugs while ur at it? It's kinda strange to hear thoakitai hoplitai calling themselves epilikoi hoplitai....

iirc, alex only increased the model slots, not the unit slots. But EBI only used 460 unit slots so there are 40 left-over.

Perhaps I phrased my question wrong...

I would like my new hoplites to shout "Hoplitai!" when I select them. I am pretty sure this takes some meddling in the sound files but I don't know which ones to edit.

I too have been suffering from this I'd like my own Greek Myrmidons to say "infantry" or something....

In that case you mean "Pezoi" IIRC.

Myrmidons? Is that some unit added in ALX EB?

ok What yo need is EDU and export_descr_sounds_units_voice

EDU:

;333
type hellenistic infantry hoplitai
dictionary hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai ; Hoplitai
category infantry
class spearmen
voice_type General_1
soldier hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_hellenikoi, 40, 0, 1.22
officer ebofficer_hellenic_officer
officer ebofficer_hellenic_standardbearer
..........................

EDSUV

unit hellenistic infantry hoplitai
event maxdist 140
folder eb/data/sounds/Greek/units
hoplitai.wav
group
end

Ok just go to the EDSUV and look for unit hellenistic infantry hoplitai copy all
and paste but whit the new name of your new hoplites.
Example

EDU

type New hoplitai
dictionary hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai ; Hoplitai
category infantry
class spearmen
voice_type General_1
...................

EDSUV

unit hellenistic infantry hoplitai
event maxdist 140
folder eb/data/sounds/Greek/units
hoplitai.wav
group
end
unit New hoplitai
event maxdist 140
folder eb/data/sounds/Greek/units
hoplitai.wav
group
end

That is all. Sorry for my english i can not explain better
