I would like to change the sound FX of battles from the thud-crie-sword FX to ambiant battle sounds.
I've found the files in the sound folder but I don't want to experiment & risk CTD's!
So does anyone know the correct way to alter the sounds?

not 100%t sure,
in the sounds folder you find the file sounds.ini which can be opened with the notepad of windows, or any text editor
you can identify which sound is responsible for which in-game action.
like i.e.
// Battle & Combat sounds
Sound29 = CT_attente.mp3
Sound30 = CT_deplacement.mp3
Sound31 = CT_clash.mp3
Sound32 = CT_fleches.mp3
Sound33 = CT_javelot.mp3
Sound34 = CT_retraite.mp3
etc.
i think it can be done similar to the music mod, renaming...

but keep the original file elsewhere and i would rename your file as substitute for the original one

to figure out which sounds number is used for which action:
you find it either at
[color="#FFFF00"]AJE/Aliases/soundaliases [/color]
or even in the files for individual actions, decisions, units etc
AJE/GameData

I see what you mean!!
Pocus there are 4 long battle sound files ("AJE_land-battle-lrg-amb" ect ect) which are really good but I havent heard them in the game yet. Is there any way of using one of these longer files in the battle animation instead of the present 3-4 quick sound bites per round?

Unless there's a way round this, someone may know.....
ah, now i see what it is,
SoundRangedCmn =
SoundCloseRare =
SoundCloseCmn =
SoundDamaged =
SoundDestroyed =
are the possible sounds, are they?
if yes, then its a hell of work if you want to rework this. its coded for every single model

These long ambient sounds are not used because even if they are cool, they would have to be cut dead at a point, and are also not really contextual to battles. Plus (honestly) we have a few issues with the sound library that prevent a clean 'halt' of these sounds when we want to (once battle ended).
The sounds used are ... well average for some. If you can find better sounds, with a duration of max 3 seconds per sound (so much longer than the short ones we have), then I think it would be ok too. Elephants sounds, proper arrows sounds (the ones we have ... ahem) etc.

well, for private use, we can easily improve it, but even mods would already get legal problems in Germany at least...

Oh but there are several site providing free of rights sounds. It just take time to search through hundreds of sounds, and then sometime shorten them, resample them, merge them in something correct. Time is a currency for us, we lack of it.
