Gramaphone Mod for SH-3-GWX

[thehiredgun]

Does anyone know of a good gramaphone mod that will work in Sh-3 ? I've put several in & the only ones that have worked is the original ones that came with the game. need some that will go in via the jsgme

[Jimbuna]

What precisely do you mean ?
Is it musical 'tracks' you are looking for ? :hmm:

[thehiredgun]

Music, news, even if only in German, which i do not speak , preferably a mix of both !

[Jimbuna]

Give me a few hours to u/l something ;)

[thehiredgun]

Thank You, i do greatly appreciate your efforts !

[Jimbuna]

I forgot to ask, what format are your current gramaphone tracks in ? :damn:

[thehiredgun]

What do you mean by format?

[Jimbuna]

Here's a link to a pack of over 150 wartime tracks...the format is the type of file it is recorded in ie: mp3.
Unpack the file into your gramaphone folder.
If they won't play....and they should, I can post a link to a boat load of ogg vorbis format WWII songs (the same format as used in the gramaphone golder in GWX) :up:

Thank you for the speedy reply,I'm in dire need of this as only a week ago I found that my gramaphone was only playing 10 of the available tracks stuck on a loop,needless to say I now know these tracks off by heart and they are driving me nuts:doh: this will help loads:up:

[Zinmar]

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if you still put up that link you mentioned.

I am in the process of changing all above mentioned files into OGG files and by changing the names(editing out the singers name and adding a letter or 2 here and there) It will sound like you are listening to some tunes and then a radio broadcast will kick in. Its all in german but it helps with the immersion factor.

[Lagger123987]

Can you use your own music in this gramaphone ingame?

[Vader 1]

yup but stick to OGG format seems to be less problematic from what I understand but I may be corrected.

[Lagger123987]

What's OGG format? I'm not a geek in computers.

[Jimbuna]

It's a format or file type for music...I'll post a link to some stuff already in that format in a few hours :up:

[thehiredgun]

No, luck & thats with downloading your 5-6 07 gramaphone mod from file front !

You will find that most all gramaphone files play at a much lower volume in the sim, so you may have to turn up your speaker volume to hear them.

There is no limit as each track is played one at a time and the list isn't stored anywhere other than as the file list in your folder.

I've got over 5000 tracks in mine.

I'm back at work now (1145 gmt) I'll be back home at 1800, will u/l in ogg vorbis format and PM you a link :up:

[thehiredgun]

Thank You

[nikbear]

I'll have to use the new upload in ogg as well,no luck with the other download either:doh:

[Jimbuna]

Is there a simple way to randomize the gramophone records being played? Its just that everytime I start the gramophone the songs are played in the same sequence.

Nemo

[Jimbuna]

If your using SH3Cmdr just tick the 'randomize gramaphone tracks' box :up:

Within the game itself... no.

However, IIRC Sh3 Commander lets you randomize music files.

@nikbear and thehiredgun

Third and final PM sent :up:

[Captain Nemo]

Jimbuna & Kpt Lehmann, thanks for the advice.

Jumping on an old thread... is there an active link to a collection of gramophone tunes? I've been unable to register on Terrapin's DLC to find any of the ones there.

Use SH3CMDR to randomize your gramophone tracts. If the volume of the files is too low, use MP3Gain to balance them. If the files are ogg, convert them to mp3, balance them and then reconvert them to ogg if you want. I have found that mp3 work just as well, and that a mixture of ogg and mp3 work fine.
U boat sim has a whole section of music for SH3.

Irish, what exactly is mp3gain, never heard of it. My gramaphone volume is so low it's barely audible and I've given up even attempting to listen anymore, this would surely help...I think.

[Jimbuna]

Another option is Windows Sound Recorder on your PC in accessories/entertainment.
Go to EFFECTS/INCREASE VOLUME then FILE/SAVE :up:

[irish1958]

Hemisent,
It is a wonderful program to ballance the volume of mp3 files. You can set them to any volume you want.
