This project strives to convey a more realistic sound environment in a Diesel-Electric submarine. Several of the samples are from a Balao Class submarine, while others are attempts at historical reproductions.
Diesel-electric submarines were some of the most stealthy vessels to traverse the seas and the game atmosphere should reflect this fact.
Mod features:
__________________
1.22b
Made minor volume adjustments to the diesels and a couple of other things.
1.22a
Added a genuine 20mm cannon sound (for all of you AAA lovers out there).
1.22
Added new AA gun sound. Better? Maybe just - different. Louder too.
New Ambient Underwater sound.
Replaced Ambient Hydrophone sound again because the mixed-in sounds were interfering a bit with hearing signals.
Fixed the Deckgun "sound pop" with Realistic Time Travel On.
Tried to fix some other explosion crackles associated with Realistic Time Travel. I think there are less now.
Remixed the Submarine Ambient sound with slightly different volume levels.
Tuned volumes a bit more.
NOTE: For best quality sound I would recommend turning the Relistic Sound Travel OFF.
1.21
Now includes a
custom volumes file to ensure
uniform sound level
performance on all computers.
New Deck Gun Sound sample.
Most of the volume levels for the modded sounds have been adjusted.
-diesels are now louder inside and underwater
-underwater diesel sound range increased a bit
-balanced several other sounds to match
1.02a
Just a couple of tiny fixes:
Remixed the Diesels a bit and pitched them higher.
Remixed Underwater Diesels to make them sound better.
Fixed a loop crackle in Sub Ambient.
These are 4 (FOUR) Fairbanks-Morse Diesels from the Pampanito working together!
1.02
Totally NEW AMBIENT INTERIOR sound featuring GENUINE submarine equipment noises
NEW REAL Diesel Sound (USS Pampanito Diesel soundbyte). This sample has been processed to include proper pitch and exhaust rumble as would be heard on a real boat. This sample also emulates multiple diesels as opposed to one, since US subs usually had 4 diesels.
New underwater Diesel sound to match. (underwater, the distinct diesel signature is more evident since the exhaust rumble effects are not heard)
Cleaner Prop Swish sound
Improved Electric Engine sound
Matched Electric Engine hydrophone sound
New Real Life Depth Charge hydrophone effect reproduction (in real life it took 30s for the residual noise to clear, in this game there is a 7s sample limitation so the new DC Hydro length is about 6s, too bad really) You can only hear this one through the hydrophone.
Slight modification to the depthcharge effect as heard from the submarine (this one is really faint by a game default; meant for distant explosions I guess)
Slight modification to the stock Depthcharge effect to emulate hull resonance harmonic.
Remixed Dive and Surface sequences
Further reduced the seagulls volumes (boy, these squeals were annoying)
Optimized creak samples to prevent 'looping'
1.01
Improved torpedo launch sound with Torpedo engine spin-up and distance fade (exact match for the custom Torps included with this mod)
New Dive, Crash Dive, and Surface sounds with genuine Balao Class boat siren
Improved Hydrophone background noise matching the ocean ambient sounds
Improved and volume REDUCED seagulls (this must count for something, lol)
1.00
Much different and quieter interior
Real life American WWII submarine periscope up/down sound
Totally NEW and HISTORIC Torpedo sound (exterior and hydrophone). A very accurate reproduction of a German Electric Torpedo. I chose to go with the electric instead of steam, because a steam torpedo sounds just like a small single engine airplane
Realistic propeller sounds (mixed to provide an audio effect of 2 propellers)
Much more subtle and different electric engine noise
Exterior Diesel Sound from GWX
New underwater diesel sound (re-processed external diesel sample)
Reduced Periscope chronometer click
Many other ambient sound levels have been balanced out.
A few sound effects may be from the Ultimate Sound Mod.
NOTE:
____
I turned off some ingame music. Namely, the Tension, High Tension, and Battle music.
Installation:
______________
Use the JSGME (Generic Mod Enabler)
http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products/jsgme_setup.exe
Since this mod only provides select sounds to affect only certain things, it can be freely installed over larger soundpacks without affecting most of the samples (like gunshots for example).
When using JSGME to install mods, you can overwrite other mods BUT remember to uninstall in the EXACT opposite order. This is the ONLY way make sure that the backed up data doesn't get put back in the wrong place!
