Unit Marching Sounds

Post by Squid_UK »

I realise that the unit marching music is bugged atm, but I was considering making a mod featuring some of my own. Have the sound file organisation changed in SOWWL from SOWGB? Is it possible to have different troops have different sound wavs (so they play different national songs as they march).

Thanks in advance

In unitglobal you define the marching sound played by CLASS, so you can have numerous different march music files. I assume the limit is how many the game will accept. IIRC for SoW:GB it was 8 files. I'd keep them very small and simple as well, under about 1Mb and use only fife and drum. Choose tunes that loop as well. The KS mod has bagpipe music for highlander units for example and British line infantry play "the British Grenadiers". Likewise you can have orders shouted in different languages for formation changes as well.
HITS & Couriers - a different and realistic way to play SoW MP.
