:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

The viking DLC civ voicelines point to wrong file name. Villager voice lines for professions seem incorrect, e.g. lumberjacks should be “danevml” but points to “danevmb”. Other voice lines such as forrager and hunter, also point to “danevmb”.

Multiple profession voice lines all point to vmb.wav, so they cannot be differentiated. E.g. hunters, builders and forragers all use the same voice line. This breaks overriding voice line mods, but it seems to affect only mods, not the base game sounds.

Selection and move voice lines, like vms1-4 load and work fine, tested on danes (e.g. overriden with danevms1.wem)

Edit: I just realised this also applies to earlier DLCs, but since I didn’t create voice line mods for those, I didn’t notice.

Edit2: I also don’t have the DLCs of the other civs whose lines end in “b” like tupi, not sure that affects anything.

The voice line files should be consistent, i.e. danevmh instead of danevmb.
