Halgren Death's-Head and The Watcher remain silent by default?

Remove all ads!

These two characters don't speak at all in my game, is that done intentionally?
Or do i have some sound files corrupted (i had one crc error during installation, because of bad cd condition)?

 

Who the heck are those two?
DK2 doesnt show any such charecters. Where did you find them?

 

I'm talking about leaders of two premade parties available at the start of the game. (The Winter Rose and The Annals of Halgren).

Could somebody check please if they do respond with voice or not when you click them.

EDIT

Thanks.
So it seems one of my game cds is faulty.
(I admit i rather thought it was made intentionally that they never talk. It'd even fit that dwarven warrior, some kind of vows etc.)

Could you also tell me which sound set(from /sounds dir)should Halgren use by default?

of course, i tried it already. thanks.

 

I've tried both pre-made parties and I'm currently deep in the game with the pre-made party "Annals of Halgren" (Created by Chris Avellone) and everyone speaks ok.

Have you checked the sound options in the main menu. You may have the character sound option to "seldom".

Also, Halgren has the "male_fighter_4" sound (the same as The Watcher) by default. Perhaps that sound set is corrupted.

To see which sound set any pre-made character has, just open the charcter's file (found in the character's directory) in notepad or wordpad. Scroll down a few lines and you'll see it.

Here's Halgren, taken from the file:

- HEFM_ (first letter of the individual wav files that make up the sound set)

- MALE_FIGHTER_4 (the actual name of the sound set has it appears in the game)


Hope this helps,

 

thanks, Nabir!
that's exactly what i wanted to know. i must have overlooked soundset names in *.chr files somehow, though they're displayed clearly.
I am in 2nd chapter playing Annals of Halgren.

it's interesting that male_fighter4 soundset plays correctly when i assign it to a character, but never by default at the beginning of a new game.

 

I'm glad I could help.

Personally, I think Male_Figher_2 fights Halgren better.

As you can tell by the file letters, HEMF that sound voice was originally made for a Half-Elf Male Fighter, while Male Fighter 2 is DMF (Dwarf Male Fighter)

 

yes, i'd also assign Halgren Male_Figher_2 set if any. I also changed Alia's voice, since the default 'sweet' one certainly didn't match dwarven female.
And Morkadai, the red wizard, uses default sorcerer voice, which is a bit too generic for my taste. I assigned him one of (more specific)wizard voices.
