This mod would otherwise not be possible. <<<>>> Unit Design/Balance: Ted Green (Oblivion) Enhanced Unit Sounds (except for the Commando and the Train sounds): IKON <<<>>> SPECIAL NOTE: Make sure your version of EDEE is fully patched with the latest patch from the Killer Bee website: http://www.killerbeesoftware.com/kbsgames/patches/ UltraDB will NOT work without the latest patch!!! <<<>>> These are the steps you need to follow in order to install UltraDB: - Download the "UltraDBSmall.zip" file from: www.ultradbsite.com/EDEE - Start up Empire - Go to "Editors" - Select "Unit Databases" - Go to "Data" - Select "Load Unit DB..." - Go into the "HCDB" folder. - Select the "UnitDB.ini" file and load it up into the editor. - Go to "Data" - Select "Save Unit DB As ..." - Type in "UltraDB" EXACTLY that way, CASE SENSITIVE The above step will automatically create a new directory typically with the following path: C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB - Unzip the entire contents of the "UltraDBSmall.zip" file into this directory. The above step will also create 4 sub-directories: C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\configs C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\dlls C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\docs C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\scripts - Copy "UltraWorldBuild.dll" from the C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\dlls directory into the following directory: C:\EDEE - Copy "UltraSoloConfig.ecf", "UltraMultiplayerConfig.ecf", and "Ultra1on1Config.ecf" from the C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\configs directory into the following directory: C:\EDEE\Data\configs - Copy "UltraAI.eai" from the C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\scripts directory into the following directory: C:\EDEE\Data\AIScripts <<<>>> If you do NOT want the enhanced sounds you're ready to play, but you may see error messages in the game when some units fight/die because the game cannot find the defined sound files (".wav" files). (If you have downloaded and installed the latest patch for EDEE you should NOT get these error messages.) - Load the "UnitDB.ini" file into the unit editor and designate any default sounds you choose for these units. - Save the changes and exit the editor. YOU'RE READY TO ROCK N' ROLL If you DO want the enhanced sounds then do the following: - Download the file "UltraSounds.zip" from: www.ultradbsite.com/EDEE - Unzip its contents into the newly created directory: C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB YOU'RE READY TO ROCK N' ROLL <<<>>> When you start either a solitare game, or a network game, be sure to select one of the game configuration files you copied over. These config files specify to use the newer unit DB files. Play -> Setup New Game -> Game Configurations -> Load a Configuration -> (Select "UltraSoloConfig.ecf") -> Begin Play <<<>>> Enjoy!
