battle stations gun action(req)

[Lt commander lare]

hello i was wondering if someone could create for the emergency surface sound battle stations gun action followed by the general alarm i have the general alarm on there now but i saw this in a movie submarine command and wanted it in there for more realism

I have been searching the internet for good quality voices for the submarines. That particular sentence for gun action would be great. I have not been successful in finding something decent. U-571 movie voices are used quite a bit but to be honest, I hate them with a passion. I continue my search for good quality voice-overs.

[Lt commander lare]

well i have one but how do i put it in the game and can it be any length of time or is it a restricted amount

lt commander lare

[Webster]

yes there is a length limit and it needs to be the right format too as the game uses wav and ogg files depending on the sound and where its used.

do you have anything to edit and convert your sound files with?

[Lt commander lare]

yup no problem there i have an editor but what is the time limit and then i can add it to the game
lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

hi does anyone know the time limit for adding sound files how long the sound files can be before the game wont play them in the game


lt commander lare

[AVGWarhawk]

I believe 10 seconds.

[Lt commander lare]

If you get it to work let me know. I would like to try it. :up:

[Lt commander lare]

lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

im trying to get to work but its not playing in the game its a wav file and i have made the sound file at 9 seconds and its not playing im using the emergency below command is there someone that can help me out previously i was using the general alarm at 15 seconds long with no problem

lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

what files do i have to change to make this work the sound file is 3 seconds long i renamed the the sound to the emergency blow sound but its still not working so im doing something wrong and the sound file is wav

lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

i still cant get this to work so im using winamp currently but if there is anyone here i can send this file to and they can put in the game let me know and i can send it to ya this file would be a great addition to the game

lt commander lare

[AVGWarhawk]

you did rename the new sound file exact to what the stock game file name is correct? When I started messing with sounds I never seen the file extensions. The sound would not play. When I saw the extensions it looked like wav.wav at the end. So your file extensions are not doubled correct?

[Lt commander lare]

no extensions i copied the name exaclty as the name said and it still wont play send me your email address and i will send you the sound and see if you can put in the game or do something so i can enable it with jsgme i got around the problem for now using winamp


lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

hi is there anyone i can send this file too to put it in the game for added realism becuase i cant get it to work other than with winamp and it would be cool to hit a button and it plays


lt commander lare

I can't help you uot right now lare as I am away from my gaming PC, so therefore my SH4 install. I did however just want to say that if you are getting into editing the sound files you may find a program like Goldwave to your liking.

http://www.goldwave.com/

I used it to re-edit most of my German sounds and it was very easy to figure out. I personally found it much more useful them Winamp.

[Lt commander lare]

thanks highbury thats what i was using was goldwave for editing but im doing something wrong in the game because the sound wont play when i hit the emergency surface button and with winamp i just assigned a key to play the sound and its working but in the game itself its not

You can also use Audacity:

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I find this tool fantastic and it's free. Audacity is so easy, quick and intuitive to use that I started to prefer it over the commercial tools.

[skwasjer]

Wav files must be in a specific format (frequency/channels), not all wav files are supported by the game. Open a stock file, check the properties, and then make sure to save your wav in the exact same format.

[Lt commander lare]

hi skwasjr i did that and everything is correct if you want i can email you the sound file and tell me what i need to do to get this to work right in the game i think this would really increase the game value if this sound file was in it

lt commander lare

I will PM you my email, I will take a look at it. PM me when you send it, I don't check email very often.

Lt. Commander Lare,

Here is the file you sent me, check it out, I combined the voice with the original "alarm" (the alarm in the file you sent didn't sound very good, must be an old movie) If you like it, you can post a release thread for it. I set it up to enable with JSGME. It replaces the "submarine_emergencyBlow_INT.wav" file.

this is working great i have sent you the file on the battlestations sound and i wanted to replace the gq battlestations alarm that i have on there for activating the crew to battlestations

lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

and by the way thanks for all your help i cant thank you enough this game has just been majorly upgraded

lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

hey peabody i definitley need you to enable the battlestations torpedo file for me i added it like you said and nothing is happening in the game but the battlestations gun action is working great let me know when the battlestations sound is ready for download thanks again

lt commander lare

I sent it back in an email. Just put it inside the Sound folder of the first sound I did and then copy the whole thing to your MODS folder.

[Lt commander lare]

Hey guys here is an FYI if your making sound files i have found the gq battlestations sound file cannot exceed 15 seconds or it will only play once in the game if its 15 seconds it will repeat each time you go to battlestations and the emergency blow cannot exceed 16 seconds hope this helps everyone here, peabody is really good he helped me alot all you guys are such good friends and im glad i have gotten to know all of you here
