Unit Sound "Bugs"...
I have noticed that all sounds for the "Scout Dog" do not. The Reason is ..Wrong Format.
The Fidget and Victory are set ok but the Run, Attack, Fortify and Death are NOT. Note: some different formats will play where you can hear them but they will not sound correct if not the correct format such as the Run for the Scout Dog.
Any of you can correct most sounds with "Windows Sound Recorder", Located in Start//All Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Sound Recorder.
CIV uses 22.050 kHz, 16 Bit, MONO, 43kb/sec. Not Sterio or other formats.
1. Open Windows Sound Recorder, Click "File" then "Open" and navigate to the sound you want to check or change.
2. Double left click the sound to Open it in Windows Sound Recorder. Click "File" again and then click "Properties". In the "Details" window that opens, you can read the information of the sound you opened. IF the sound is not the correct format as I stated above, click the "Convert Now" button, located on the Details window, Middle Right side.
3. Another small window will pop up called "Sound Selection". On the Top, under "Name" you will see a window...click the Arrow button on the right side of this window and in the list, Selest "Radio Quality"...this is the correct format for CIV Unit Sounds. Click "OK" and then "OK" again on the "details" window. Now your sound is converted and will play in CIV. Simply Say "Yes" when you exit Windows Sound Recorder" when asked if you want to save the change...ot you can save by using the File Button and Saving your sound but the lasy way is just exit or open another sound and you will be "politely" asked
...Much more to sounds and certainly a Good Sound Editor Helps do far more than Windows Sound Recorder, However this simple program not only works Fine for converting sounds but also to adjust and alter them...play around with the buttons and see. I will spare you a lengthy "tutorial" on the details of the Windows Sound Recorder until another time...or until asked. Just wanted to convey the "How To's" concerning checking and adjusting Units Sounds with a Program that everyone has in their computer.
