How to use native languages in the beta

[Falkenhorst]

If you have grown tired of the english battle chatter it is possible to replace those sounds with native languages. The files are available, but are not in use. I just started using them and it greatly improves your playing experience.

Follow these steps precisely to use native languages.

1. Go to: Steam\steamapps\common\redorchestra2beta\ROGame\Co okedPC\Sounds

You will see these files:

AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerEng_01_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerEng_02_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerEng_03_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerEng_04_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusEng_01_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusEng_02_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusEng_03_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusEng_04_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Ger_01_C.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Ger_02_C.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Ger_03_C.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Rus_01_C.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Rus_02_C.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Rus_03_C.upk

2. Make a new folder on your desktop and cut and paste these files into the new folder.

3. Now go to: Steam\steamapps\common\redorchestra2beta\ROGame\Co okedPC\Packages\Audio

Scroll down until you see these files:

AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerGer_01.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerGer_02.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerGer_03.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerGer_04.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusRus_01.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusRus_02.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusRus_03.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusRus_04.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_GerGer_01.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_GerGer_02.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_GerGer_03.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_RusRus_01.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_RusRus_02.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_RusRus_03.upk

4. Copy those files into Steam\steamapps\common\redorchestra2beta\ROGame\Co okedPC\Sounds

5. Rename them in the same order as the original files so they look like this:

AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerEng_01_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerEng_02_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerEng_03_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_GerEng_04_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusEng_01_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusEng_02_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusEng_03_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_RusEng_04_Cue.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Ger_01_C.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Ger_02_C.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Ger_03_C.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Rus_01_C.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Rus_02_C.upk
AUD_VOX_Chatter_Tank_Rus_03_C.upk

Germans will now speak German, Russians will now speak Russian. They are 100 times better then the english versions.

Disclaimer: This is in no way cheating or hacking. There is no advantage given in swapping the language packages.

[Soldat-Hans]

Better than my try to explain people how to. Thanks.

[Dr. Pierre Chang]

This works great except for the announcements at the end of rounds. This won't cause problems with VAC, will it?

[b0sco]

Since you don't bring in any external files, it shouldn't cause problems with VAC.

And thanks for the guide!

[PzRSpeRRe]

Thanks I f****** needed this

[WinTurkey]

I thought it was said that the reason you couldn't choose to use native languages within the game was because not all of the lines recorded in English had a Russian/German equivalent, if I do this will it cause some lines of dialogue to disappear outright?

[Couac]

Cool tip, this is just what lakes the soundscape to be perfect but I wouldn't be too reassured to mess with game's files with VAC and PB hanging around...

I've been playing with the unlocalized voices since the start of beta, no problems so far.

[Couac]

The problem is, as far as I know, VAC doesn't ban you right away, but proceed by waves.
If you were caught cheating by VAC you could be banned tomorrow or in two weeks.
Well maybe this tweak is safe, but untill a dev passes by and tells it is absolutely fine to mess with the game's sound files, I wouldn't touch it ; I won't have my account PB or VAC banned because I couldn't wait one week.

@Couac



Why should it by any means be considered as a cheat or hack.

[Couac]

@PzRSpeRRe Supposing VAC or PB doesn't make a difference whether you modify the voices or any other game file this could get you into trouble.

You could replace every single game sound with blank ones, leaving only the footsteps which, in a middle of a firefight, would give you a pretty good idea where your enemy is in spite of the gun shots.

I am just making assumption here, maybe this is perfectly fine, I don't really know ; All I am saying is be careful with this.

[Falkenhorst]

Bump because people are asking for it. Getting native voices in the full game is the same as the beta.

[Soviet33]

But why there is no option for it in the settigns like in the first RO?

[Schmeisser]

Hi,

i scripted a small tool which does the work for you

You can download it here:
https://rapidshare.com/files/3524603...uage_Fixer.exe

It backups the files first, before replacing them. You can also roll back the files if you want.

Have fun!

[Schmeisser]

wow after 24 hours, this thread is on page 8.
There are many players out there which would be happy for this thread i guess.

[Machete234]

Devs pls put the option in, german english soundfiles get on my nerves by now.

[DoctorBrain]

This. I was severely disappointed when I found out that all the sound files are in English. Really takes away from the immersion.

[letsreplaythewar]

Hey,

Will dev put a oficial option on the settings?

BTW, doing that can cause problems with PB or VAC??

[AntiCitizenJuan]

Also really want native languages without altering files.

I speak neither Russian nor German, and I think Red Orchestra 2 suffers from what I like to call "Call of Pripyat Syndrome"

English Translation Abomination (Stalker: Call of Pripyat) - YouTube

[letsreplaythewar]

I think they forgot to add that option to the final release :P
