View Full Version : Songs for the gramophone

Despite of GWX great gramophone tracks I started to expand my "gramophone tracklist" so I downloaded lots of songs from the downloads section.
I found a file in the SH3 Oggvorbis folders (I donīt remember which one) called "German military march - Collection of soldatenlieder" that has multiple songs in one single file.
Someone knows the name of that songs? .Specially the first one and the third

Can't say I do but there are 11 gramaphone packs available from my FF account.

Not entirely realistic... but..
On my old rig, I had lots of old American and BBC broadcasts from the war years. FDR and WSC speeches, excerpts from US radio stations, and lots of blues and jazz and swing. Amos and Andy, the Goldbergs (shiver!), Great Gildersleeve.
I justified it by saying I needed to start understanding American culture so that I could be assigned to occupation duty after the war.

Let me say that those music packs have a big part of WW2 music with different kinds of music (not just military songs).
For those who didn`t found it yet, the file is in the SH3 Oggvorbis5 folder that can be downloaded here:

I'm suprised there have only been 90 d/l because there have been 474 from the FF account and only 15 days betwen both being released :hmmm:

Realism be damned...
I put on some Jimmy Buffett on my cruises to the Carribean.
Mostly though, the music on gramaphone are period pieces. There are a ton of gramaphone tracks out there, including jimbuna's, which are very good.
In fact, I think I have too many tracks. I need to organize them a little bit into mini-mods and enable them thru JSGME. I'm sure there are songs that are in my gramaphone file that I haven't heard in a long time.

Yep. Go to your game folder, open data/Sound/Gramophone and you can just copy files right into that folder.
IIRC the game will accept files in .mp3 and .ogg formats - the general consensus seems to be that .ogg files are more stable and work better when played in-game. It's also recommended that you choose one format and stick to it, but your mileage may vary (mine did).

Ive added a number of mp3 files to my gramaphone, along with the GWX stuff ive also added some complete film soundtracks such as Gladiator,Star Wars, Lord of the Rings Return of the King and Master and Commander to name but a few.
All are played at random thanks to SH3 commander and it suprising how often the music lends itself to the situation i find myself in, The battle scene music from Gladiator gets the blood flowing when your locked onto a target and a destroyer is bearing down on you.
My Fav track for leaving harbour is the opening music from the film Battle of Britain. Can any one help as to how I can get the band on the quay to play this? Mind you it may mean a slight delay in departing the dock as I stand on the bridge waiting for the track to finish :)

You need to replace "Fanfara_01.wav" in the SilentHunterIII\Data\Sound. Take your song into Audacity (assuming you are starting with an MP3), mix it to mono (may take some amplitude adjustments to reduce clipping) and export as .WAV. To keep file size down, convert it to 22k hz.
...that seems confusing for people who don't know how to use Audacity. I'll try to get that file up for you.

The Gramophone folder also takes .wav files with no problem. I don't recommend them simply because they are so much larger.

Yep, and I even recommend converting larger .mp3 and .ogg files to versions that are smaller in size if it's possible to do so without losing enough sound quality to be noticed much in-game. On my system at least it just makes things run a lot smoother.

Same here. My computer doesn't hate me as much as usual if I have lower-quality .oggs.
I have the default GWX songs but I've mostly added modern music like country and techno since WWII era music isn't very appealing except for a few select British and German songs.

It depends of every particular music taste, but I prefer Rammstein songs and other non related stuff in my mp3 player and not in the game. :up:

Exactly its all in the taste of music, game play wise I'm learning to be realistic but the music is one thing I won't cave with. Oh forgot to mention Celtic Woman and currently in the process of adding their Christmas performances to the gramophone.

Whilst there may be some people who play both SH3 and SH5, I imagine its most likely that to be one or the other, so you would be better off posting on the SH5 forum, but who knows maybe you'll get lots of answers to prove me wrong.

Welcome aboard!:salute:. Of course you can, it`s just like any other music file,some of them are in Ogg Vorbis format (.ogg). You need a software to convert those files to mp3 and then burn them in a CD.

My dad ran what was called the Mosquito Network during WW II. It was the forerunner of American Forces Radio and Television Service. He started out with a small radio station on Guadalcanal and ended up broadcasting from Luzon in the Philippines.

GRRRRR!
I saw the above and thought Iīd add music to my sumbie's gramophone.
I search for folder, find it. right click to open, get a data folder, try to open it and it converts into cnf with a few career folders inside.
I have WIN 7.
If someone can help this ignosaurus, it would be apreciated.

What folder did you search for? If "SH3" you might've been directed to the SH3 folder in My Documents, which just stores your career files and savegames.
The Gramophone folder you want is inside your SH3 game folder, that's where all the game's "guts" are.
Do a search for a file named 'sh3.exe' and whatever folder that file is in, should be your game folder.
Then you want the Gramophone folder that's in there:
[Game Folder]\data\Sound\Gramophone
That would be where you put the sound files that you want to play on the gramophone in the game.

Thanks for the quick reply. No luck, the moment I place the period, the search fails.

Well, if you let the game install to its default location, it should be in your program files, usually on the C: drive unless you have some kind of multi-drive setup and directed it to a different hard drive.
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter III\data\Sound\Gramophone
would be the default location, if I remember correctly.
found one file but it does not seem to be the right one, it has the mission editor.
A sound acct file for a few KB
And the search ends after programs
frau kaleun
04-01-11, 05:35 PM
Just double click on My Computer and then on your C: drive to see the contents of the drive, there should be a folder called Program Files, if you did the default installation of the game the game folder will be in there as noted above.
Or just "Computer" in Win7, I think they changed it.
Many thanks, Frau. Been shaking down the C drive there is only one Ubi file. Will leave it for another day. Aaarrgghh. :dead:

I wonder if this has anything to do with Win7 being so "protective" of program files and stuff... I have all that UAC business turned off, and have changed permissions on a lot of directories so I can work with all the files/folders that are in them, or at least see what's there if I need to for some reason. So I don't know how overly protective it might be of your game installation if it is in the Program Files directory and all the default security settings are in place.
When I open the SHIII folder, I get a lot of files, a lot prefixed BJ, a number of Balz, but nothing with data or sound. Very different from what I remember in XP.
I think I need the help of a WIN 7 expert genious. I think I have identified some career files. Naval Academy and mission editor keep popping up. Anyway, over a thousand files. :damn:

Alex, your game should be located in C\Games\ubisoft etc. (that is how I'm set up on W7) and the remaining file structure should be no different as it was on XP etc.
