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.

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
[..]
cheers

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

extreme useful

thankyou greatly

[Yun Dog]

YEEESSSSS!!!!!!


kings to you Ras

Put it all in the MTW sounds folder as you have set out there

put the swapper in the sounds folder/ side note would run in the MTW main folder but not in the sounds folder/ installed the .bat executor choice.com in the system 32 folder - swapper ran

loving that STW music



cheers

edit one last question

I kept a back up of the mtw sounds cause I knew I wouldnt have the thing setup correctly

what folder structure does the swapper keep the backup MTW sounds in

I'm glad we sorted that out.

Content of SoundSetupSTW.bat:

MD Sounds
MD Sounds\STW
MD Sounds\STW\Orders
MD Sounds\STW\Troops
MD Sounds\STW\Frontend

MD Sounds\MTW
MD Sounds\MTW\Orders
MD Sounds\MTW\Troops
MD Sounds\MTW\Frontend

COPY ..\Sounds\Battle\Orders\Latin\*.* Sounds\MTW\Orders
COPY ..\Sounds\Frontend\*.* Sounds\MTW\Frontend

MD is the command for Make Directory. Normally you should run
this .bat to create the correct folder structure.
Now that you've proceeded otherwise you can look at the above for hints.
I'd recommend to read the text file that comes with the swapper and you
can also get info by right clicking the .bat's and select edit.
They should open in notepad and you need not be a geek to understand the commands.
