George Onslow (1784-1853)
Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869)

If you don´t like the Main Theme, you can choose other tracks included in the "Main Them ALT" folder (just rename the file):

1-Silver White Man by Uriah Heep. Outtake from the album "The magician´s birthday" (1972)
2-Acid Rain by Liquid Tension Experiment. From the album "Liquid Tension Experiment" (1999)

Version 1.1a: Added music (13 hours) and alternative Main Theme tracks.

Version 1.2: Added 1850/1914 music. New "multifire hvy" sound.

Version 1.3: Added new sounds for modern war, WW1 and XVIII-XIX century battles. To make it work install the selected one AFTER (or over) "Jafele´s TOAW IV Sound Mod". Each folder has specific files (fire, rumble, truck, retreat etc.) for that period.

Version 1.4: Minor volume fixes; Added one alt main theme track; a few sound files changes.

Version 1.5: Sound File changes.

Version 1.6: Sound files added.

Version 1.7: Main Theme track and nuke sound added.


Enjoy!

Muchas gracias!

I also think the inclusion of "Nude Ascending Staircase" will do wonders for the immersion - nothing like some PROGRESSIVE ROCK to get you in the mood for serious wargaming [8D][:'(]

Although it would be good to know what sounds are changed, what the sources are. And also to name the folder with something less generic than "TOAW IV Sound Mod", like "Jafele TOAW IV sound mod".

I usually play with sound off listening to other music or the radio but I will try this.

A RADIO ?? What is that ? lol.

I recently discovered Pandora, after my new tv and sound system made my Denon Receiver obsolete [:(]

I assume the mod is just for a change of volume? Reducing infantry and background sounds?

I changed advance to advance_s, retreat to retreat_s, click to click_s and then copied click_s to errorbuzz after saving errorbuzz to errorbuzz_s. The sounds that were annoying to me are now a thing of the past! If the sound file that you find annoying is not there the game just doesn't play it. No crash. No more weird retreat and advance sounds!

Cheers,
Chris

Mod updated to 1.1a. See the OP. [:)]

Aha. I tried a few but they seemed the same. I didn't try the ones that had been changed. I'll give them another go.

Thanks,
Chris

I am interested in taking a look at this, where is the dl link ?

FIXED! To download press "Sound Pack" in the OP.

Do you take requests?

Do you take requests?

Of course. Anyway this is not the last update. I´m thinking about ww1 and napoleonic music...

Can you post a regular zip, instead of a 7zip ?

Mod updated (see the OP). The mod is now a zip file.

Hello there OP ... a simple question ... when i unzip the file i get 4 folders ... do i have to enable them all to the mod enabler ? what is the purpose of 4 folders ? i cant make the mod to work so far ...

Hi. Sorry for the delay. [:(]

No, you only need to enable "Jafele Toaw IV sound mod", it brings the WW2 sounds by default. But if you´re going to play a WW1 scenario you should enable "WW1" (answer yes), "Modern War" (answer yes) for a modern scenario and so on. To reverse the process just disable any of these folders.

Just starting to learn this TOAWIV again. Thanx for this music. It is soooo much better.
