Immersive Sound
This is a placeholder link to my latest Quality of Life + Immersion Effort, Immersive Sound.
I’ve logged thousands of hours in Total War titles and after a while you get tired of the non-stop aural feedback.
Clicks, Cymbal Crash, Metal Clank, Bell Chimes, Collapsing Rubble, etc…
I find that the constant ruckus takes away from the battle sounds as well, which should be the loudest moments of any game.
So, I present to you three modified sound files which will simply remove all the clang and clatter from the game (campaign and battle) without removing diplomatic voice-acting and battle noise.
I also removed all the terrible, cheesy unit dialogue ("Oi Mate, you look like you need to sneeze. etc..") which utterly crushes immersion at times.
Installation:
1. Follow this link to download the three necessary files:
mediafireDOTcom/folder/arln0pn5srfln/Immersive_Sound_-_Rome_II
2. Obviously the "DOT" needs to be manually input to "."
3. Copy/Paste three files from your Rome II data folder to a safe place for backup. These files are sound.pack, sound_rome2.pack and local_en_shared_rome2.pack
4. Now place my version of sound.pack, sound_rome2.pack and local_en_shared_rome2.pack into the same folder, and you’re all set.
5. Unsubscribe from the mod on the workshop. The file downloaded by Steam is an empty placeholder and most development notes will be posted here: twcenter DOT net/forums/showthread.php?796359-MOD-Immersive-Sound-Overhaul&p=15781422#post15781422.
Uninstallation:
1. To revert, simply drop your original files back into the Rome II directory and overwrite the mod files.
