PC Mode

Hello all
I've modded mounted crossbowmen so they are shooting flaming arrows up high and when they are hitting ground there is a boom like grand bombards do. There is almost all ok, animation and damage is taken well, but there is no boom sound when explosion animation is playing. I dont know why is that.

I added this to descr_projectile.txt:

Code:

projectile my_serpentine_shot

effect 			arrows_fire_new_set
end_effect				ground_impact_grand_bombard_set
end_man_effect			man_impact_catapult_set
end_package_effect    	wall_impact_medium_set
end_shatter_effect		ground_impact_grand_bombard_set
end_shatter_man_effect		man_impact_catapult_set
end_shatter_package_effect		wall_impact_medium_set

; Stuck model not used at the mo, shatter effect is better, but adding some shatter debris for ground impact would be good?

And this to export_descr_unit.txt:

i dont see i can edit my post, in second example i posted wrong version, it should be
stat_pri 12, 3, my_serpentine_shot, 450, 2, siege_missile, artillery_gunpowder, blunt, none, 25, 1
instead of
stat_pri 12, 3, my_serpentine_shot, 450, 0.75, siege_missile, artillery_gunpowder, blunt, none, 25, 1

Third post in a row lol, but i want just to say that i finally found a solution. Below is a quick guide for those of you who will have the same problem someday.

I assume that ur unit is already added to export_descr_unit.txt and playable in a game.

1. Download "Sound text files" from
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=1110
and unpack it to the m2tw/data folder

2. Change attributes of new files to 'Archive', because they are come with read only attribute.

3. Open file descr_sounds_weapons.txt. Find a unit that u would like your unit have sound like. It would look like this

unit Elephant Artillery:pri, Elephant Artillery Mercs:pri, NE Culverin, ...

Add to the end of this line your unit name and save a file.

4. In order to your changes take effect in a game u have to remove files
- events.dat
- events.idx
from m2tw/data/sounds directory. Don't worry they will be recreated when u run a game.

5. Run a game and enjoy.
