*Bump*:D

Yes there is a limitation to 1000. I never thought that somebody will get more than 1000 songs for the gramophon.:dead:

I opened it for 2000 songs. I hope this will be enough.:up:

Welcome to SUBSIM redlancer :yep::up:

Thanks for this. It is quite helpful and brings the music to life again.

Mr.Teddals -

Question -

What is NSM4 Classic?

Is it the song randomiser?
If not is there a link where I can download NSM4 Classic please?

WernerSobe's "Natural Sinking Mechanics" MOD I believe. A Must have if you're looking for more dynamic and realistic ways you can sink a ship.

I know this thread has been dead a while but...

I didn't want to feel like I was hijacking the idea, but I've been messing around with my own tool (the idea did come from here, but I fancied giving it a quick bash). It uses .NET 3.5, and does roughly the same things except for a few major differences (which I wanted for myself more than anything):

1. Settings are loaded from the registry
2. It should ask for elevation automatically with UAC
3. It allows reordering of tracks (just select a track, move it with the arrows, and click Update)
4. Because of 3 it supports saving and loading of playlists (they're just plain-text filenames, have a look if you want)

I'm not prissy about people using Reflector on it (it was a fun coding exercise as well so it's not too terrible), and I'm happy to supply source to anyone that wants a gander (vs2008 C#). If anyone fancies hosting it instead of on FF go ahead.

Cheers

P.S. If the link isn't up, apologies, I'll fix it soon enough..

FYI, you can also upload it here for people to download.

Now downloadable from here..

Description
------------

Intended as a personal use tool, I've been adding functionality to this in an effort to get it in a state that makes it a viable alternative to the basic gramophone shuffler for SH4 (although it was never my intention to upstage that, just to extend on it, and I'm not a huge fan of VB6). Any bugs and let me know, I'll try and fix them ASAP. It's worth noting that this (due to the registry settings) only works with SH4 for now. If someone wants to grab the registry settings for SH5 (HKLM\Software\Ubisoft\) which holds the path to the main directory I'll update it to cover both (I'd also need to know if the gramophone directory is still in the same place (data\sound\gramophone).

Basic features:

* Allows randomising of all tracks in the gramophone directory with the push of a button
* Reads SH4 path from the registry so can be run from anywhere
* Allows manual editing of the playlist by moving tracks up and down the order of files
* Because of the above, playlists can now be saved and loaded
* Preview buttons allow for playing of tracks in the playlist
* Should request to be elevated when run against UAC (instead of having to specify running it as admin)

Requirements:

* .Net Framework 3.5
* Windows Media Player (for the preview playing, this may require WMP10 so if you have any problems with the preview playing let me know exactly what so that I can try and resolve it)

Future features in order of likelihood to appear (most to least):

* The ability to play a whole playlist (not particularly difficult), which may also entail being able to export playlists to WMP playlists or Winamp playlists
* Proper track management (ie allowing fast switching of the tracks in the store, eg having one list of tracks for 1941, one list for 1942, and one for 1943, and being able to switch between them with ease)

Great work Shakje; and welcome aboard.
If it not too much trouble, could you make this for SH3 and SH5 also; they both use the same file structure for the gramophone.
I especially like the idea of having different lists for the years.

It's entirely plausible to do it for SH3 and SH5, I can get it done for SH3 quite easily (I'll just have to install it), but I don't own SH5 so I need someone to post the registry key path for me, just do the following (if the registry scares you, I'm sure someone else can do it, so don't worry about it too much):

1. Start menu and click Run
2. Type in regedit and hit ok
3. In the left pane expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Ubisoft
4. There should be at least one key there (subfolder), for example for SH4 it's SilentHunter4, I need to know the names of the key for SH5.
5. Expand it and there should be another key with a GUID (numbers and letters), click on that and in the right pane just check there's a value called Installation Path (it should appear as soon as you click once on the GUID key. If the structure is any different, or Installation Path isn't there, either screenshot it for me, or let me know if the path is there.

To be absolutely clear, the different folders is quite a lot of work. I'm willing to do it, but it will probably take a month to get done in terms of spare time available :)

Thanks for the feedback!
