More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
Update3.1 made after released of 6.1 (thus more good war horns than 6.1) but compatible with all versions. IF you have DLV 6.2 beta, you don't need this mini-mod, it's added:
This mini-mod adds 63 new war horn sounds (for specific factions or not) in battles for more realistic immersion!
-Wolfslayer made a mini-mod with 25 new beautiful war horns!
-Taiji adapted the readme for DLV and discover the mod for us!
-I added 28 new war horns and the 10 old DLV ones to complete.
*17 warhorns for southern european factions.
*20 for northern european.
*10 for mesoamerican.
*10 for Greek.
*14 for middle eastern.
*17 for eastern.

Awesome, I'll check these out today.
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
If somebody knows a site where I could find free warhorn sounds, I'll add them.
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
They're cool, I've only heard a few, but the variety is nice.
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
New version with more sounds^^
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
I ran into some problems when I installed this. I hope you can help me out.
I unpacked the file into the correct path (using winrar) but when I started up the game there were no new sounds. In fact, a lot of sounds dissapeared. For example the sound when you open the building panel is gone and in battle a lot of sounds have gone. There is no clashing weapons for example. There is still music and also voices.
When I looked in the dlv_ext/data folder there is a map called ' New Warhorn sounds' with the map 'sounds' in it and the two text files. I figured this was not good and moved the 'sounds' file and the text files into the data folder.
I get a lot of messages asking if I want to overwrite the files which I did but still ingame the same sounds are missing.
Any ideas on why this is happening and how to make it work properly?
Thanks, Barendz
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
You mustn't unpack the file "New war horns" folder in Data but the files who are inside:thumbsup2 I'm sure that you problem comes from there. Read attentively the first post installation or the readme. Don't forget to delete the events.idx and SFX.idx in dlv_ext/data/sounds before restart the game:) I fix my post to make it more clearly.
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
Yeah thats what I thought too. So Ive already put those files from the 'new warhorns' file into the 'data' file. Maybe Ive done this wrong because it makes no difference....
Also there seems to be something off with my winrar because it always unpacks the 'new warhorns' file even though I only select the files inside to be unpacked, but thats off-topic.
For some reason a lot of things go wrong when I try to alter my DLV lol, im starting to feel a bit noob. On the other hand, all these problems boost my postcount so I can finally rep some people for their awsome work :thumbsup2
Anyway, thanks for the help!
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
-Delete ALL War horn files of this mod.
-Delete the events.idx and SFX.idx in dlv_ext/data/sounds.
-Click on "adapt_sound_nonenglish" or "adapt_sound_english" in \mtw2\mods\DLV_ext.
-(Delete the events.idx and SFX.idx in dlv_ext/data/sounds if they are come back)
-Unrar the "new war horn sounds" folder on your desktop.
-Take the 3 folders inside and put them in mtw2\mods\DLV_ext\data.
When I was "modding" I had this problem because I made a mistake. I don't remember this mistake but I'm sure with this instruction above, you game will works fine. (PS: new version without the folder "new war horns)
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
New version (uptdate3) of 61 war horn sounds! The latest rocks^^
Available on Filefront and Upit.to.
Enjoy you hears!:thumbsup2
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
I'll update in the strategy guide:thumbsup2
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
Thanks^^
That's an honor that mine mini-mod was integrated in DLV! But without Wolfslayer, I would never have begun^^ That was hard to "create" the other new war horns from videos on youtube, my mic just next, a program to learn to have good format etc...^^.
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
You should get fraps. Upload some battles with the war horns in action. Upload it on youtube- Then people will get more tempted. The more people test it, the bigger the chance that it will get fully integrated.
Just my 2 kroner

Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
Nice!
Press the "YouTube" icon to the right of [/SPOILER] icon. Put in your youtube http and you got a very fast and direct way to show it ;).
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
I'm trying to enable these in the Baltic Crusade mod and I've got all the sound text files and everything is in order but the Teutonic Campaign won't repack the sound files correctly for some reason. I've enabled these war horns in all my other mods and know what I'm doing but seem to have hit a roadblock. Is there some trick to repacking .idx files in Kingdoms?
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
I don't know... You must delete the events.idx and SFX.idx in /data/sounds. But the "descr_sound_unit.txt" isn't the same in your mod I suppose. Each regions of factions have war horns (europeen_eastern, middle_eastern etc...) and they aren't the same too. I can't help you, but you can upload your "txt" file:thumbsup2
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
I edited it by hand, everything is in order. It just creates new .idx files without any sound.
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
I had the same problem when I was "modding". This mod has a "adapt sound" somewhere?
Re: More war horn sounds (34+) for DLV 6.***
I'm just trying to get Teutonic campaign [vanilla] to repack at the moment. It worked in retrofit like a charm and that's the problem.. they sound so good I can't play any other campaigns without them.
