Voicemod setup guide - EB as an example

Yes, the game crashes to desktop when you try using MP3s.

Also, you must use the correct WAV codec, which is MS ADPCM 8bit (compressed).

I was able to achieve the same affect (i.e. make it work) with radio quality WAV sounds made in accessories=> enterntainment=> sound recorder. (it saves at a rate of 43kb/sec). problem in my case is a lack of an amplifying microphone (instead it records the sound as is).

anyways, I have a question: how can I make a unit (in this case, a feudal sargeant) use different languages, so in the English faction they use middle english, and in france old french?

I have tested what I was asking before and I'm afraid the result is not positive.

Here is my method of testing:

I edited EDSUV from RTW vanilla (unmodded). I take the roman culture and edited Light_1 and replaced the group formation voice with something noticeable (in this case, screeching women's voice). I did not change anything else.

Then I edited the early roman general cavalry voice from General_1 into Light_1.

I then head into campaign and fight with my Roman general. The voice heard when forming a group was NOT the screenching women's voice. It's the regular Roman general.

Second testing:

I reloaded vanilla EDSUV. I now changed group formation voice announcement of General_1 with screeching women's voice. Now I have the roman general cavalry in Light_1, with screeching women voice in General_1. No other changes.

I head in campaign, fight with my Roman general, and when I press group fromation button, I heard screeching women's voice.

My conclusion:
In campaign (works only for generals and NOT captain), the game automatically uses General_1 of that culture for any unit with the general, regardless of the unit's original voice in EDU.

In your case, I suspect that any Greek faction will use whichever voice is in General_1 of greek culture.

This sucks really bad because now I could never get Nazgul and orc general voices in 1 culture, nor could I have Eowyn sound like her in campaign.

but you have answered my question: thanks
for you

wlesmana, one question about your test, did you remember to delete/rename the events.dat file? From my own testing, changes to sound do not take effect if the file is there in its original name. I usually rename to events.dat.bak.

[wlesmana]

Yes, I did. Like I mentioned in my second testing, the general unit was using the screeching women voice, so it's a change already.

I really, really hope I was wrong though. I hope Shigawire forgot to mention something and that EB voice mod actually works. The fact that my Nazgul generals got orc voices and Eowyn sounds like a guy is rather annoying.
