I'm downloading a bunch of files with various tunes, and i'm new to using the gramophone. How do we play custom tunes? I guess I just need to know where to put these files. I can probably figure everything else out from there.

\SilentHunterIII\data\Sound\Gramophone. I'm sure some or all of the d/ls would include readme files outlining where to place them.

BTW 89 posts in three days. My, you've asked a lot of questions! ;) To save yourself some time waiting for responses, you may like to try the Subsim Forum "Search" feature, where questions like this one have been asked before. You'll get a quicker response then!

You may also like to peruse the Silent Hunter III Community Manual (http://www.communitymanuals.com/shiii/index.php?title=Main_Page) where this exact question is also answered.

You're right. I should have checked the wiki 1st. Didn't think of it. But yes, i've had a lot of questions. It's mostly because the game does very little to explain anything. I only really have one other question which is in my ports thread. I actually did check around for that but can't seem to find exactly what i'm looking for.

Ok sorry to keep pestering. But how do I play the gramophone in the sub? I'm in the room and I can't figure out how to turn this thing on.

Click on the picture of the radioman. Then click on the gramophone icon. The rest should be easy. :cool:

My luck. It won't play anything. I have over 50 ogg files in there.

Not sure but maybe they have to be MPEG files?

No im pretty sure OGG's are good. Maybe its because I have the game music off. But I was told that the gramophone should still work with the latest patch.

got it working. I had the music turned on in the options, but the volume down. So I had it backwards.

OGGs or WAVs both work well. I use WAVs myself.
