getting back the music.

[sENoZ]

Hello people.

I would like to know how to get back those music from silent hunter 3 while playing ?

Cause it seems GWX3 disabled them.

Thank you...

Ok

Go to the files for Silent Hunter 3.

Then click data folder.

Then click sound folder.

Then click music folder.

Right click on music.cfg, click open with notepad

There, replace that text with this:

[GENERAL]
CertainityTime=1
MinDuration=20
FadeTime=2


[STATES]
States=8
State1=BEGIN
State2=NORMAL
State3=BATTLE
State4=TENSION
State5=HIGH TENSION
State6=VICTORY
State7=DEFEAT
State8=JOY


[BEGIN]
Tracks=3
Track1=Intro_1_Master.ogg
Track2=Intro_2_Master.ogg
Track3=Intro_3_Master.ogg

[NORMAL]
Tracks=5
Track1=Stalker_1_Mix.ogg
Track2=Stalker_2_Mix.ogg
Track3=Stalker_3_Mix.ogg
Track4=Stalker_4_Mix.ogg
Track5=Stalker_5_Mix.ogg

[BATTLE]
Tracks=6
Track1=Battle_1_Mix.ogg
Track2=Battle_2_Mix.ogg
Track3=Battle_3_Mix.ogg
Track4=Battle_4_Mix.ogg
Track5=Battle_5_Mix.ogg
Track6=Battle_6_Mix.ogg

[TENSION]
Tracks=5
Track1=Tension_1_Mix.ogg
Track2=Tension_2_Mix.ogg
Track3=Tension_3_Mix.ogg
Track4=Tension_4_Mix.ogg
Track5=Tension_5_Master.ogg

[HIGH TENSION]
Tracks=5
Track1=High_Tension_1_Master.ogg
Track2=High_Tension_2_Master.ogg
Track3=High_Tension_3_Master.ogg
Track4=High_Tension_4_Master.ogg
Track5=High_Tension_5_Master.ogg

[VICTORY]
Tracks=3
Track1=Victory_1_Master LOOP.ogg
Track2=Victory_2_Master LOOP.ogg
Track3=Victory_3_Master LOOP.ogg

[DEFEAT]
Tracks=2
Track1=Defeat_1_Mix LOOP.ogg
Track2=Defeat_2_Master LOOP.ogg

[JOY]
Tracks=3
Track1=Joy_1_Master.ogg
Track2=Joy_2_Master.ogg
Track3=Joy_3_Master.ogg

or if you want to fix in manually (in case things screw up)

remove all lines with "track1=empty.ogg"

and for each instance of "Track=" put the number of tracks listed under that set of code. So for BEGIN, change it from "Tracks=1" to "Tracks=3"

hopefully that will work

[Gunnarr]

oh and dont forget to "save" the changes

Also consider that there is a mod which supplies music scores from the Das Boot movie, it's nice if you like them!

[sENoZ]

Hello.

Hey Gunnar it works perfectly, thank you so much man.

About the das boat sound i have them but inside the gramophone folder ^^

But you mean we can have the das boat music while playing, so without using the gramophone ??

[UKönig]

I have the Das Boot original filmmusik, with tracks 25-30 are clips of the movie, with sounds and dialog. I spin the disk in my CD player, right next to the compy. Which makes it easier for me to shut the music off if/when I need it quiet.

[sENoZ]

i dont want to do that way, i prefer to have them in game directly i have 7.1 suround headphone its better then cd player ^^


as i said i also have the das boat music but in gramophone file.

[sENoZ]

btw people i would like to know.

I have real sound of u boat from 39 45.

If i rename those file by the files from SH 3 and replace them in SH 3 data sound, do the game will play those new sound ??

[danasan]

If the file format is identical, there is no problem with playing them ingame. Just try one using JSGM and throw it in to be sure.

[sENoZ]

ok that sound good ^^

i think i will have to reconvert some file and give a try.

[sENoZ]

any idea of what is SH3.sdl plz ??

[sENoZ]

ok.. i converted the sonar sound ( from real u boat )

and will try this soon and let you know if it work.

[sENoZ]

works good, tryed it close to gibraltar ^^

I was speaking about the famous mod that use score from Das Boot for the "dynamic" music - the in game music that is played based on which the current "state" is (like in Gunnar post, there you can see the states).

Simply go in the Download section, under SH3 ans search for it, you can't miss it!

[sENoZ]

thank you man ^^

It's a great mod :yep::up:

[banryu79]

Yes, it's :)
The funny side is that even if I reccomend it to other users I myself do not use it because, in-game, I do not want any "ambience" music, lol.
So I just downloaded the mod for listening to the scores when I feel nostalgic about the movie but I do not want to use 3 hours of my time to watch it again :D (I already saw it 6 or 7 times...)

[UKönig]

I don't use ambient music either. It's not realistic. Life does not come with a soundtrack...
