OK, I've completed the sound modification and uploaded it. It can be found here: www.megaupload.com/?d=O1LI0U8UInstructions on setting it up are in the file. I've also included th complete list of new sound files. I tested out the special.mpq theory and it didn't work, unfortunately. But I did get all the sounds to work. Enjoy ships that sound like they come from the faith they represent and some additional sounds from the original Lords of Magic. I've only expanded the unit sounds in the mod, although there are plenty of extra sounds for other things like range impact, spells, and buildings. Let me know if there are any problems. Enjoy! |

On a side note, the soundfxalt.mpq file in GS5R2New\gs folder was my attempt to get special.mpq to work and does not have to be added to the gs.mpq file.
If anyone wants to try and test it out to see if we can the technique to work, go ahead and use that file.

ok i got it but im noticing any old ship sounds are those no in yet? Make sure that soundfx.gs is in the 'gs' folder on gs.mpq and the unit files are in the unit folder on gs.mpq. On a side note, the new sounds don't work with quests. I don't know why, but I'm guessing they have their own soundfx.gs section. Once I figure it out, I'll let you know. |

Never mind what I just said there. I found the problem and fixed it. You can download from the following link and re-apply and it should work in the game (and the quests): www.megaupload.com/?d=L3ESSKOB |

It was really fun to hear the Death Shade laugh when I told him to attack an Elven Archer while playing the Death Quest.
Just one of the many sounds that were removed from the Special Edition.

im still having problems could you tell me a few of the sounds (excluding ships i dont use em enuf) so i know what to listen for Make sure that you got the latest from here.Make sure you rename the SNDFX5R2.mpq file to sndfx.mpq in your LOMSE install directory (usually C:\SIERRA\LOMSE). Use MPQ Editor to open gs.mpq (I'm assuming this is the GS5R2 version). Under the 'units' folder in that file, add the files from GS5R2New\units into that mpq file. You'll need to select as the file type. Under the 'gs' folder in that file, add 'soundfx.gs' from GS5R2New\gs. That should be it. Tell you what though, I can upload my copies of 'gs.mpq' and 'sndfx.mpq' into a separate location at megaupload and you can just use those files. As for what to look for, the easiest way to verify it is to create a non-Death ship and select it in the overland map. It should have a Faith-specific sound. The Life ships, for example, use a Life Warrior select sounds. The Air ships use Windrider sounds (I wanted air elves to be used for those ships), the Fire ships use Fire Sorceress sounds, and so on. As for the additional sounds for other units, it is hard to give a comprehensive list, but the LOMSELostSounds.txt (essentially a list file of the missing sounds) should give you some clues. I've only applied this to the units, nothing else. |

Hi Swiftfoxmark good job with the ship sounds! It's working for me; I have tried Fire, Life, Death, and Chaos so far and now they all have their distinct sounds. (I guess it is known that Chaos longboats already had their own voice, in which they say something like "The slaves are getting …"). I have noticed that for Chaos, the voice volume seems a bit low, no? Gunther: I don't know how to help you there. Are you using Mozilla Firefox for downloading, and have Vista? Sometimes I have weird stuff happening with Mozilla when there is another file of the same name in the download folder. If so, trying using IE, and make sure the file you are using has the right date (12/5 and 12/8/09) in order to distinguish them. Also, it might have something to do with a confusion with copying over the old files? Make sure that the new gs.mpq and SNDFX.mpq COPIES over the old ones, or rename the old ones first, or delete them, whatever. Short description of the new sounds: Life - voices sound like the archers and staffmen Fire - voices of the Fire sorceresses Death - same as before, but with a few new lines Chaos - barbarian voice "we will await your command," and when moving, male voices grunting as they row and drum beat. |

The Chaos ships actually had unique sounds for moving and attacking, but nothing for actually selecting the ship. So I just blended in the Stickthrower selection with water noises.
Every ship had it's own unique range attack sound and moving sound already.
Among the unique sounds I found that I'd like to implement in the future are training building sounds that are unique for your class. If you are thief lord, for example, when you enter your thieves guild building, the sound congratulates you for bringing their class to the leadership position in your faith.
While I was able to identify most of the original Lords of Magic sounds, I am still 12 short in the old sndfx.mpq. There were three ambient sounds I couldn't identify, a range impact noise, a dying sound (seems to be a test one), and a few assorted spell noises. Considering that there were originally 171 sounds that were unknown when I started, that's a pretty significant feat. Still, I would like to incorporate all the old sounds into the new sndfx.mpq for LOMSE so that we have access to them for future modding.
I have some ideas for the special.mpq file as well. I'd like to get that working so that Boaster can incorporate the gs files into GS5R2 and I can just update the sound mpq file and post that only. The deployment right now is a little messy, especially for players who would rather just play the game.

Yeah it did take a little time before I could bring my lazy self to install your sound mod. Thankfully it was pretty easy but it'd be great if it is incorporated into GS5R2. Then you should be officially considered part of the dev "team."  I'm looking forward to more good stuff coming up! I'll do testing for you as best I could. Thanks for the hard work! |

I've made some modifications. One of the attack sounds for the Water Thief Lord had her sounding like she a Fairie/human crossbreed. So I slowed down the sound and now she sounds like an Amazon. This download has the *.gs files and you will need to manually add it into the GS5R2.mpq: www.megaupload.com/?d=TJ9DQQCVThis download link has the gs.mpq and sndfx.mpq files ready to go with the latest version of GS5R2 (2/23/2010): www.megaupload.com/?d=O8W5J20KEnjoy. |

The Lost LOMSE sounds mod will probably not work with the GS5R3 mod until I update the unit files that need to be overwritten. I haven't tested this with absolute certainty, but it looks like the unit files were modified in GS5R3 and this mod needs to modify those files. I will merge the old with the new and update that later when I get a chance.
Once I do this, I may leave the version for GS5R2 up, but I won't be updating it anymore. I'll update with GS5R3 from here on out.
