I noticed that there where no voice overs in the English version SW3 Civil but there are a lot of fake audio files in the localization folder so I wondered if the Russian version had voice overs and sure enough it did. Note that the original Russian version is called Star Wolves 2:Civil War not Star Wolves 3.
Made using SW3 but this works the same for SW2 and might even work with SW1 but I haven't tried it. Note that I'm using DVD versions it may be possible with GG or Steam but I haven't tried it and I'm using Windows XP.
Note: I used German voices with SW2 and i had to rename a coupe folders in the in german "voices" folder so the character names matched the English version.
First you need the Russian audio files. So install the Russian version and go into the game's install folder specifically Data\LocData\Russian\
Tip:if you don't know where the install folder is right click on the russian games icon in the star menu and select find target Default is C:\Program Files\1C\Çâåçäíûå âîëêè 2. Ãðàæäàíñêàÿ âîéíà\Data\LocData on my system.
Now copy the folders "Levels", "Quests" and "Voice" to you desktop or something. Next we need to do search inside only the "Quests" folder you copied. In the search box type .loc it and run it. When it for it to finishes delete everything that comes up in the search. Do the same for the Levels folder.
Tip: make sure you are searching only the Quests folder you copied the easiest way is to right click the folder and select "search" and make sure you have search subfolders checked in advance options.
now your "quests" and "levels" folders should contain only audio files.
now go to your English versions install folder, then the Data\LocData\English folder, backup your english files first if you want then copy your modified Russian Quests and levels folders, and your Russian Voices folders and select yes to overwrite.
Tip: English install folder default is C:\Program Files\1C Company\Star Wolves 3 - Civil War or for SW2 C:\Program Files\1C Company\Star Wolves 2
now your done congrats you have Russian voice overs and English everything else.
Note that you can keep some of files if you for instance find the mothership acknowledgment annoying then delete the BasePilot folder from your voices folder and now you have blissful silence when you order your ship around or keep an English voice you like.
