Im not sure about the civ2 style batte sounds

but you can replace all the sounds if you want...

you just have to make a .wav or mp3 that matches the format of the original sounds... (and close to the original sound duration )

I did it for alot of sounds (air bombing/declare war/cheer/battle victory/etc) and they worked fine!

as for the civ2 as long as they are in a format that can be converted to .wav or mp3 I dont think it should be a problem

thanks ......... i changed the sounds for some units. but i didnt see all of the units in the file. i changed the knight battle sound but i found out that the cavalry has the same sound. i dunno how to make them different or if its even possible.

it would be cool to have a different attacking sound for swordsmen, spearmen, pikemen...ect

here is a tutorial to make custom sounds... (XML edits)

unsure if it works because my attempts failed

I know you can make custom sounds because in mods like CivGold

uses custom music and edited XML files for their unique civs

worst comes to worst (and if you have motivation and time ) you could d/l their mod and see what they did to customize their sounds

I may in the future try to figure out what I am doing wrong with the custom sounds... but right now I am in the middle of making a mod which is taking all of my times



NOTE: I did add some custom sounds by "cheating" and "tweaking" existing sounds that arent used.....


.... using the TUTORIAL SOUNDS!

since they are only used in the tutorial mod... (and are not used anywhere else)

I made my unique sounds (following their sound file names) and put them in my mod folder

then I checked the xml files for the specific references and used those taglines and data in my edit units/building/sounds xml files and folders (in my mod of course) to use their sound entry and references (but since I made the .wav/mp3 sound clips in my mod... it overrides the "vanilla" tutorial sounds)

and viola! custom sounds... sort of


anyway hope that helps!


....one of these days I figure out the real XML editing....
