Archive- Old Download & Install information (beta7)

[R'as al Ghul]

I love the music from STW but do I really have to install the game and extract the files, surely someone has done this already
edit: in fact Im pretty sure Ive got the files in wma format from the .com site some years ago and converted them ... I prolly still got them buried somewhere... maybe under that 7ft stack of pornos?!!!

I seem to remember there were some minor modding that need to be done to the preferences file to get it to work ... any feedback on this please

If you own the original Shogun version it shouldn't be a problem
to copy the files from the cd into your Medieval folder. No installation needed.

I'm quite sure that those files aren't free to distribute. I don't think
CA has put them on their .com site, either.

The sounds of the christian/ western factions is used in this mod.
Go to the folder which stores the christian sounds and exchange
the files against those from Shogun. It is required that you keep the names
of the original Medieval files, otherwise the game can't locate them.

This is the readme file for the sound swapper:

Required
-about 283 mb for a Rollbackfolder.
-STW WE/MI install.

Run SoundSetupSTW.bat to setup the rollback folder.
Copy STWSoundcopySTW.bat into the STW maindirectory and run it in order to grab the
relevant music/sound files. *
Move the newly created STW directory into the newly made dir Sounds in this directory.
Use SoundSwapperSTW.bat to select music.

Japanese factions use Eurosounds.

the files dont exist on the CD thats why you have to instal it and use software to extract them from the main game file
If - and I dont appreaciate the underlined if thanks I own legitimate copies of the whole TW series

I'm quite sure that those files aren't free to distribute. I don't think
CA has put them on their .com site, either.

well Im quite sure your wrong

because thats exactly where I got them from, the fact they no longer provide them is neither here no there, they provided them for the fans who like the music and didnt want to extract them themselves, and they were downloadable, (pls ask any STW member you like) and CA staff came onto this forum and told us how to use them to get STW music in MTW, somewhere back in the MTW mods forum i think.

thanks for the rest of the info

I guess I could've been more polite. I did intend no offense.
Please understand that people ask frequently for things we cannot provide due to copyright restrictions.
I misunderstood your request as such.
This is because I mixed up sounds and animations.
The animations are on the cd, the sounds are not (i.e. compressed).
I stand corrected.

I was looking for them to provide you with a link.
Unfortunately, this is the only thing I can come up with.
From http://www.archive.org:
The version of totalwar.com from Mar 01, 2005 contains this info:

TOTAL WAR MUSIC TO BE RELEASED
Those of you who are big fans of the music from the Total War games should soon be able to buy special edition CD's featuring the music from Rome: TW, Medieval: TW and BAFTA award winning music from Shogun: TW. With extended versions and remixes these will be an awesome purchase for any TW fan. Any one interested should send an email here so we can contact you first, as soon they become available.

This sounds to me as if they intended to sell the music. This would support my thesis that it wasn't free to download.
I'm sorry, I can't provide a download source for the sounds. My folder is 240mb large and the mentioned copyright issue isn't solved.
So, even if I intended to upload them I wouldn't know if I was allowed to.

I think the easier and faster way is to install and delete the rest you don't need.

So their going to start selling cd's that would explain why they took the music downloads off the .com site

as far as what the leagality's of providing links to the music that they had provided freely in the past - I dont know - soft ground

Tropico did this - and very successfully, but this aint tropico if you get my drift, listening to cuban regae on a saturday afternoon is a bit different to listening to RTW latin harp music - people would think you're a freeaak !! and theyd be right

looks to me from Tosa's readme you can get alot more by using his extractor than the 4-6 music files they provided anyway.

Guess the solution is as you say... suck it up and do the install and grab the files *looks at ceiling high stacks of pornos and sighs * there in there somewhere

Hi again,
Ok I used Tosa's music extractor to extract the files from STW, I now have a folder in the MTW/Sounds folder called STW, I manually copyed the sounds from STW/sounds into this folder as per the read me - but I cant seem to get the music swapper to work, Im still getting MTW sounds

Tosa: what does the exact folder setup have to be for the MTW sounds folder, and what folder does the soundswapper have to be in to work properly cause all i get is file path not found messages

or do i use the sound swapper from the stw folder?




cheers

Hi YD,

I have to check out my own folder structure when back home.
I do remember that the .bat file is to be started from the main Shogun folder.
The sound folder also needs to be somewhere in the Shogun structure.
Are you able to run .bat files properly on your machine?
Some people need choice.com in their system32 folders.
Here's a link to an older post from Tosa.
I'll get back to you later.

Ya the .bat files appear to work, maybe i installed something earlier for this purpose

but I get a little menu asking if i want a:stw music/b:mtw
or C:stw orders/D: mtw

but when I click an option it attempts to find certain file paths which because of my moving stuff about manually isnt working

so Im thinking I sort of understand now, If I set up the STW/Sounds folders as per the instructions, and leave MTW as it was - and run the swapper from the stw main directory - then maybe - Does it have to be WE/MI install or will vanilla STW install suffice?

I will give it a try tonight
