Missing some sounds or not?

[Andy Shadows]

Hi!

I noticed that after installing Barbarian invasion, ballista "airborne" sound and hitting sounds are missing. The airborne sound and hitting sound plays when firing from siege towers. Is this normal?

I also noticed that the catapult explosion effect misses smoke effects and the explosion looks crappy too.

I didn't have these problems without BI.

Thanks!

Welcome

I haven't played as a Roman faction in BI, but I'm assuming that they still have recruitable siege weapons (including ballista and catapult crews). If standard ballistas are missing the relevant sound files for both 'airborne' and 'hitting', this would appear to be a bug - have you found this to be the case in RTW (after installing BI) as well?

Yeah, I've noticed the flaming projectile animation on catapults is crap too - just seems to explode on impact and disappear almost immediately, rather than fading out into smoke / dust effects as you say.

Can you reply to topics in the RTW Singleplayer > Colosseum forum yet? If you can, you might wish to add your findings to this BI Bugs thread, as long as they haven't already been posted
