Release Date: June 3, 2010- only available between now, and when the internet is disconnected, nuked, or self-destructs.
Cpt-Maxim's "ALive-Action-Interior-Sound-Mod 1.0" for "Silent Hunter, Wolves of the Pacific, and U-boat Mission 1.5 version".
Earlier versions of SH4 or SH3 may work, but not tested.
This mod will give you a variety of sounds to make life in the submarine come Alive!
The overall effect is being inside a submarine (basically a large steel tube) with others moving around operating equipment.. and also the flowing water pressing against the hull on the outside.
In order to give the entire atmosphere of tense, spooky, uncertainty of life beneath the waves, the core sound effect is a "heavy heaving & breathing sound", which almost makes you feel as if the submarine is breathing, or alive by itself.. (not intended for the faint of heart, or die-hard realism fans!)
This mod may give you nightmares, if you havent already spent too much time in your game before now, you will..
You will hear all these things listed below, if you sit still on the surface or underwater, (take no actions, just crank the volumn) for a full 7:30 minutes with minimal repeats.
Dont try to pay attention to where the sound file starts and ends, just let it breathe & flow.. other sounds will be added automatically by the system under different circumstances, such as creaking when you have taken damage.. which adds to the overall scary effect really nice.
The periscope sound file is here simply because I felt the original periscope was weak, and not "heavy" enough sounding to me. I especially like the part where the handles snap up/down into place, listen carefully, and make sure you fully extend the periscope to hear the entire sound file. To each his own. Some people have very specific preferences and all mods are not going to be universally accepted for personal taste reasons. Easy to remove if you arent absolutely thrilled, and you get all your money back, guaranteed.
JSGME ready! Make sure you have the latest JSGME version
(alternate manual install very simple, just copy my data folder to your C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific folder, but make sure you backup "your original folder" first.)
This version of the mod contains two files:
ALive-Action-Interior-Sound-Mod1.0\Data\Sound\amb_SubmarineInterior.wav
ALive-Action-Interior-Sound-Mod1.0\Data\Sound\periscope_UpDown.wav
Sounds:
Sailors moving around, footsteps, hatches, doors, cabinets, and equipment panels opening and closing.
Galley cook, chief bottle washer, delivering and pouring coffee for the XO and crew to sip.
Nav Officer shuffling and rolling/ unrolling maps and papers, plotting course with pencil, and erasing changes.
Helmsmen opening and closing valves, moving levers, releasing steam, controlling hydraulics pressure.
Weapons officer rotating dials of the onboard targeting solver computer (analog) while it buzzes and makes spinning and whirring noises internally.
Sailors ascending or descending the metal footrungs of the ladders to the conning tower and hydrophones control room.
Cook banging pots and pans preparing the crew's meal. (first ever mod to include food services!).
Handcranks adjusting the dive planes, raising or lowering of the radio, radar antennae.
Nervous sailors cracking their knuckles, fingers tapping to relieve stress.
Buttons being pushed on intercom systems, microphones giving announcement tones.
Communication systems being dialed into various bandwidths and squealing with white noise between channels.
Chief engineer performing system check on the electrical control panel while it hums with high voltage.
Radio officer practicing his morse code or recieving a signal while on the surface..
If you try to decode this morse code message it will say something like this, likely in german, I interpreted it about 99% accurate, but I dont understand german, so if anyone wants to comment on it, here it is, reproduced in dots and dashes followed by alphabet:

Tried to download the file. All went well with the download but when I try to extract it from the zip file, the file amb_SubmarineInterior.wav is corrupted and will not extract to a normal wav file but gives you an error msg.. I have tried to download it several times and each time the same error. Any one have any suggestions?
I get an " C:\Test\SH4\ALive-Action-Interior-Sound-Mod1.0.rar: Checksum error in ALive-Action-Interior-Sound-Mod1.0\Data\Sound\amb_SubmarineInterior.wav. The file is corrupt"
I downloaded it and it works perfect! You have to unpack it course it´s a packed file. No use writing here, if you don´t know what to do with a MOD if you got it! The README sometimes is a god Friend!!! ..your best Friend .. if you read it... But I have a Question too! Could it be that your MOD is the same witch is used in OTC 1.5 031312 f. RSRDC v5xx??
If it is so your MOD is more than great!!!!
And your MorseCode....
UNTERWASSERHORCHANLAGENSYSTEM - Means UnderWaterListeningSystem (SONAR)
N4MPODENT - Sorry but I´m German and it makes no Sense... (also after Googling it)
ENDE - Means The End of the Message
and SFS could be the One who send the Message ore Greetings ore so...
I also checked the MorseCode you wrote above and your translation is absolute correct!! Perhaps you catched it a bit wrong???

To extract, open Winrar, select Alive folder, click "Extract to", select MODS folder, check "keep damaged files", extract. You will still get the error, but the file will be there, and it seems to be ok.
Krieg Francis is correct. If you do as he instructs the sound file will extract and appears to be ok.
Unfortunately it has that weird ambient "breathing" sound from when you are stunned or whatever from an explosion. I'm not a fan of that sound file. Sorry mate.
