It looks to me like you've left out some of the dirctory routing for the amb files in the Dragoon_modified file.

Which one? The Dragoon_original wasn't modified by me in any way (i.e. someone else wrote it to direct to the cavalry sounds in the cavalry folder) - do I need to put the full path name, e.g. C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive...?

I dont have the files in front of me now, but there were two ini files. One was named something like Dragoon_original. Its sound files pointed to the calvary sounds. The same files in the Dragoon_modified were missing the full pathname. I'm not 100% sure what's needed and what's not but I do know that it is a source of error since I had a similar problem with the flc files early on.

Surely, if the cavalry sounds are in the dragoon folder, I don't need the path name, e.g.

RUN=CavalryRun.amb
ATTACK1=CavalryAttack.amb

(that's assuming both those files are actually in the dragoon folder)

I don't think I need to rename the files DragoonRun.amb and so on?

I would copy and rename the calvary sounds in the dragoon folder(I have a 40Gb HD). Then use another (default) ini i.e. "tank" as a template to make sure the path of the dragoon ini is correct. Its probably not the most elegant way to do things but it tends to work.

PS watch the names of the units I've had problems with names with spaces ie Iron Spearman so I use IronSpearman instead.

ok - I have a dragoon folder, in which are the bandit(x).flc files (I'm calling bandit dragoon) and all the cavalry(x).amb files. I'm thinking that the dragoon.ini should look like this. Am I correct?

What I'd do is this.

I looked at the bic. You have a unit "Dragoon" but no "Bandit". I assume you've renamed that.

The directory, flc, and amb files then also need to be named "Bandit" in place of "Calvary"

Then change the sound effect part of the ini. Replace "Calvary" with "Bandit"

That should work. I dont remember which unit I added where I ended up with sound problems but I think this is what I did to fix it.

I take it that that also means if I want the unit to be called Dragoon, I need to rename all the flc and amb files to Dragoon?

I seem to remember posting a thread about copying sound files from another folder, and I asked if I had to rename them and someone said no I didn't.

Yes.

You dont have to. If you use the multitool it'll set up the correct path to another file so it can be doen and it looks easy. I just remember having problems with an amb file (it may have been the file with the spaced name) so rather than spending my time fiddling with it I copied the sound files I wanted and renamed them and it worked.

I don't get it. I renamed all the Bandit (x).flcs to Dragoon (x).flcs, copied all the Cavalry sounds to the Dragoon folder and renamed them to Dragoon (x).amb, edited the ini so that it referred to Dragoon (x) files but still the only sound that I can hear in-game is the Fortify sound. What gives?

Why dont you try setting up the dragoon.ini to point to the calvary sounds? I've attached the changes to the ini.

This is actually exactly the same as the sound portion of the Dragoon_Original.ini I poseted in the Dragoon Sound Problems.zip. That one didn't work. What puzzles me is that some sounds work and some don't. I've noticed that thre are 5 Cavalry Attack sounds. I copied all to the Dragoon folder and renamed to Dragoon(x).amb like you said earlier but no joy. I can't think what's actually wrong? Is ot that there are 5 attack sounds?

I dont have that zip in front of me but I can see the dragoon ini you've posted above and they're different. The amb files control the sound files in some way (I'm not sure how). Thats why there can be three or four attack sounds that play as one unit.

I have another suggestion that may work out better. Instead of using the ini pointed at the cav sounds point the ini at the cossack sounds (ie ..\Cossack\Cossackamb etc). I dont play russia so I cant say for sure, but I havent heard of probs with those sounds (but I have with the cav sounds).
