Music in SH5

COWBOY10 · 03-01-10, 01:19 PM

Can one of our lucky owners of SH5, let us know If we can add our own music to the gramaphone, ala Sh3 and 4, Im sure if any of you are like me, we now have GB's of period music for use with SH3. I would love to know if I can use this with SH5, I love listening to the gramaphone to keep the morale up for the troops. Nothing like the Tipperary song round breakfast to get everone going

I don't own it, but it would be odd if the left something like that out. I mean, SH4 kept it plus added the radio. If anything, SH5 might add more, but almost certainly not less.

Thats what Im hoping for Sailor Steve, BUT until its confirmed Who knows. All I can do is keep my fingers crossed and the Das Boot soundtrack playing on Itunes

Just check out all the features that were in SH1 that didn't make it into later versions...

Although, as this doesn't actually affect gameplay, I have no doubt it's still in.

The game files for the radio and gramophone are still there but I haven't found a way to bring them up in the game yet. I don't think you can with the built-in interface but I haven't looked too hard yet.

Will report back, I need my radio stations too:-)

SH1 was done by a completely different team and company, and has nothing to do with anything that followed. Nothing from SH2 was used in SH3, as far as I know. SH3 was a new beginning. Some things that worked in SH3 were 'fixed' for SH4, but nothing that I've heard of was actually dropped.

Why should SH5 be any different. Of course I could be wrong. We'll find out tomorrow.

Music? What Music?

That was the first thing i turned off.

Sailor Steve · 03-01-10, 09:09 PM

I never use the background music either. But he was talking about the gramophone.

Is there one?

JohnnyMacintosh · 03-02-10, 01:02 AM

Ive played the game for a bit now, and I cant find anything like a radio or gramophone... Maybe I missed it?

Your radio operator has to be on level 10 to use the gramaphone silly . Ask him to play it in the dialogue menu.

Same. I saw there is a radio folder BUT the radio files are the SHIV default ones.

I assume that since Honolulu is the only station by default the game probably has the ability to use a radio like in SHIV, but it was not implemented in the vanilla game and needs to be modded.

Haha..!

Oh yeah - I see a new trend emerging.....

Grammaphone and radio doesn't work. Radio station doesn't work either. I can't call in escorts or such as manual says is possible.

I have over two gigs of WWII era music and radio broadcats (thanks to all the guys here...bless U), I can't imagine sailing without it

Am I the only one who's a little freaked out over this? I don't have SH5 yet, but the gramophone doesn't work, is that right?
The gramophone is a huge factor when I play SH3, I can't imagine not having it.
I swear, they rush these games out and...

I guess you guys will have the gramophone working in the next patch.
