Did someone know how to change the attacking speeches for any soldier?

[Black King 0]

I was wondering why it does not work no matter how I changed it only the other speeches XD

 

and also is it possible to have a mounted knights as reinforcement?

[Lord_Chris 284]

I've used WAV files before to change sounds, and that worked fine for me. Were you using MP3? If so, change it to WAV, you can use a converter here - I'm about 90% sure that the game only accepts WAV files because that's what's coded into it.

[Crusader1307 302]

Your 100% correct. I've changed WAV too. Just convert. But be aware, there are some that just won't work. (Don't know why). :blush:

[Black King 0]

how about the mounted knights as reinforcements?

 

I changed the mp3 sounds to wav but everything is the same. there is still no sound. This is for my minas tirith map, the only problems i would like to solve is the attacking speeches of every soldier I edited. I already submitted it on the other day and if ever I succesfully changed the attacking speeches I will update it XD

To @Black King I think this may answer your question. I'm not too sure why this may be unfortunately, hopefully you find a workaround :)

[Lord_Chris 284]

I changed the mp3 sounds to wav but everything is the same. there is still no sound.

 

I didn't officially convert mine, I used Audacity's converter to do it and it worked every time. I haven't done this in a while, but have you tried one file using that? Also note that the file names must be exactly the same, (CaSe Sensitive!) otherwise the game will not allow it to work.

 

Regarding your other question, there is most certainly a way to do it, but I'm not sure off-hand. Perhaps @Lord Vetka could give us a answer there.

I have used mounted knights on maps before, but that was a long time ago, I just did a test and the knights I scripted as reinforcements came in on foot, but the knight I placed on the map came in mounted, I could be wrong but I think if you want mounted knights on the map, it has to be done while you are making the map.

 

You could sneak them in, maybe place the knights you want in a corner some where in a small walled section on enemy territory and use an enemy near a marker to switch the territory to you so you can ride out of the gate that now belongs to you. I have also used enemy near a marker to change ownership of a gate to you.

 

If you use the enemy near a marker, I make the territory enemy then you are the enemy triggering the marker.

 

I hope that helps. Play around with it and see what you can do, if you want more help, just ask!

[Mathew Steel 151]

Well @Lord Vetka has just helped me understand what you needed.

 

While in map editor placing knights will result in them automatically being mounted. If using knights as reinforcements they should be mounted automatically. That's how it has always been for me, I recall making many maps where Lord Barclay would have knights in his invasions and they would be mounted. Although it has been a while and it might be different, if I am wrong, I'll try and figure it out for you once I have some more time :)

I'm using version 1.4, are you too? when you have mounted knights as reinforcements? if yes It will be better and more easy of there is a image/video tutorial for that. XD

[Lord_Chris 284]

Version 1.4 is unstable - you should either be using 1.3.1 or 1.4.1. The 1.4.1 update can be found in our SH2 miscellaneous downloads section.

[Mathew Steel 151]

I use 1.4.1 which is the latest patch. Not many people use 1.4 so switching over to 1.4.1 might benefit you in more than one way :)

[Black King 0]

I really wanted to switch to 1.4.1 but it's always the same. It says successful when I update it but when I play and test it byI moving a knight who's attempting to mount on a horse, the horse just stand their and the knight can't mount anymore. In my previous years playing stronghold 2 I was able to play 1.4.1 on other computer, its just now I can't find the answer why it's not working.

[Mathew Steel 151]

I don't understand what you mean. Can you try and explain a bit more in depth :)

[Lord Vetka 63]

You might have corrupted game files from to many changes over time, it would be a good idea to uninstall the game completely, then reinstall and allow the game to patch up to 1.4.1, when I do a reinstall, I will reinstall the game then run it, then restart my PC then manually install the next patch and do that with each patch until I'm patched to 1.4.1, I do it that way because I find I get a good clean install that way, also if you have removed the game, then I would clean the registry of any SH2 files before reinstalling.

 

Edit- Mathew, if you made a map and have Lord Barkley as your enemy and he is making troops then he will by default send out Mounted Knights, did you script him to send knights or is he doing it on his own?

[Mathew Steel 151]

I scripted an invasion where Lord Barclay was attacking, although he himself didn't have a territory. But it's worked both ways for me.

[Black King 0]

@Mathew Steel. I mean I already updated my stronghold 2 to 1.4.1 but all the bugs that been fix in 1.4.1, I can't see any changes when I play. I think Lord Vetka is right. The game files might be corrupted because I remember some time when I was playing stronghold 2 1.4.1. The knights are mounted when i set them as reinforcement. Everyone is right and the only problem is my game files, It's corrupted. Thanks guys XD

[Mathew Steel 151]

Glad you fixed it :)

 

Just a little tip, if you were referring to something I said earlier, you can quote what I said using the quote options. Simply click the button and write your message in between the 2 brackets :)

To change the attacking speeches for any soldier (assuming you have the new speeches you want to implement), navigate to your stronghold directory and find this location

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Firefly Studios\Stronghold 2\fx\military speech

 

Here you will be able to see all the audio files of every military unit.

 

 

If you wanted to replace, say the 11th speech of an outlaw:

 

"Are you looking at me?!"

 

First, remember to BACKUP YOUR FILES and then replace the file "Outlaw_S11" with the new desired speech file, giving it exactly the same name. Then you can launch your game and after about 11 tries you will be able to hear it in game.
