Ahoy there. We have been talking about musics lately, and I had said a word about adding nation & sex check on the merchant sounds - not what you hear when you talk to them, but when you are just near them.

I made some other changes. You can have them here : [attachmentid=855] They are meant to work on Build 13.

'Lai_sounds.c' belongs to /PROGRAM/Loc_ai
'Lai_merchant.c' and 'Lai_warrior.c' to /PROGRAM/Loc_ai/types
'sound_alias.ini' to \RESOURCE\INI\ALIASES


Normaly, you should notice some changes when :
- merchants address you
- a fighter address his oponent (insults)
- a fighter try to hit his oponent
- someone dies


Please tell me what you think of thoses changes, and if you run into some bugs!
 
Thanks for this. I'll have to check it out as soon as I have the time. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
try to make it fit on build 14 as well. it has always bugged me that it sounded as if there was an endless fight going on around me in the middle of town. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

I cannot do that, as I will not have the time and I will not download other build versions until the french translation of build 13 will be completed. But I doubt some changes have been done in those files anyway, so it might fit. Or maybe you could send me thoses files as they are in Build 14?

?... Whatever you mean by that, it isn't corrected in those changes. If you are talking about the great bunch of unapropriate sounds you constantly hear, you can turn them off, in the spirit of the runme.bat-not-working : find in sound_alias.ini [man] I think and delete all ENGLISH/ before the sounds name.
 
Thanks Morgan terror, but you forgot 'Lai_warrior.c' ...

* 'Lai.sound.c' is the same as it was in Build 13 so you can use the file I've made for Build 13,

* Sound_alias.ini has got some sequences I had already added and given to Pieter, and apparently it was changed after Build 13, so here is the new file that should be compatible with build 14 : [attachmentid=857]

* It seems that Pieter have already added the 'Lai_merchant.c' I had sent some days before but what the heck... Pieter has changed a little what I had written... What is that :
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->case "woman":
LAi_CharacterPlaySound(chr, "merchant");
break;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
?!?
In my code the girls weren't saying anything at all! (as there aren't any sounds for them), why should they talk like men?!? Is it again that kind of 'positive descrimination' Pieter seems to like?... Hey, Pieter! Was IS that?




(Oh and I've just checked : it's not [man] you have to change but [male-citizen] if you want to remove most of the unwelcomed sounds)
 
I added your previous changes into the Build 14 Alpha. About the women not saying anything: I changed it so that they would say something. Not sure if that is a good idea; I can remove it again. I had already forgotten I even did that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
Okay. I would say that it's better for the women merchants to say nothing rather than talking like men, but that can be discussed.


To the kind persons that are downloading my files : I see that the sound_alias.ini has been downloaded 15 times and the first files only 4... The sound_alias.ini work WITH the first files I've posted, not alone! Don't forget them! And the files posted by Morgan terror were just for me to check how were the default files in build 14, no need to download them (as I can read 'number of download : 6')!
 
LOL! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
I'll remove the female sounds. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
oops! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> do you still need lai_warrior.c?

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Yes, please! That would be usefull.
 
shall i remove my attachements here to avoid further confusion? or does someone still need them?

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I think you're right, now you should remove them. Thanks again!

So, as a conclusion :
* If somebody wants to test those changes on build 13, he have to download the first .zip file : sounds.zip.
* If someone wants to test those on build 14, he have to download sounds.zip and on top sound_alias.zip.

Where those files have to be saved is explained in my first post.
 
i don't quite get your last centence concerning build 14. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

You mean this one?
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->If someone wants to test those on build 14, he have to download sounds.zip and on top sound_alias.zip.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The sentence means that if you have build 14 you need to download the build 13 files (in the first post) first, and then the build-14-compatible sound_alias.ini I've added later in the topic, called 'sound_alias.zip'.

If you mean the last sentence, it's refering to what I had written in the first post :
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->'Lai_sounds.c' belongs to /PROGRAM/Loc_ai
'Lai_merchant.c' and 'Lai_warrior.c' to /PROGRAM/Loc_ai/types
'sound_alias.ini' to \RESOURCE\INI\ALIASES<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Now, has anybody tested the changes yet? I'd like to hear some coments please! I don't know how are the sounds in english, as I don't have the english game, so I'd like to know if I did choose the most apropriate sounds...
 
Ahoy Pieter, I just wanted to know : did you finally add my minor changes on sounds in a build 14 beta version? Or wasn't it good enough, and I'll have to improve it?
 
I recall adding all your changes into Build 14 Alpha 6, but perhaps you want to check if they actually are there. I might have missed one of the files you made. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Well, I'll check when I will find the time, although I'm not sure it's really necessary as you've proven yourself to be a trustfull modpack compiler...
I was just asking because nobody made any criticism, and some sounds could have been not too good - as I had chosen them depending on how they sound in <i>French</i>. That's all...
