Archive- Old Download & Install information (beta7)

[R'as al Ghul]

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 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.

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.

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

This is what TosaInu's swapper does:

ECHO ------------------------
ECHO The STW Music is installed (if you've set this up correctly).

I'll edit this later to add the folder structure info.


Edit:

Medieval (Top folder)
    Sounds (1. subfolder)
        Battle (in 1.)
        [..] (diverse folders in 1.)
        Sounds (in 1.) 
        SoundSwapperSTW.bat (in 1.)
                    STW (2. subfolder) (path: Medieval/Sounds/Sounds/STW)
                        Frontend (in 2.)
                        Orders (in 2.)
                        Troops (in 2.)
                        16 div. sound files (in 2.)

I hope this is clear!?
Don't hesitate to ask....
I guess you can have a slightly different structure.
The most important thing is that the swapper finds the path.
You could try to put the swapper in the main folder and create
the STW folder directly under sounds (1. subfolder) without
creating the extra sounds folder that I have. Actually I'm not sure
why I did it the way I've done it. Ah well...at least it works
