Ding dong it is then :lol:

I imagine you said that in a terry thomas voice:rotfl:

The weathering-design is very realistic !

You have to know that Seagulls often sit on those Buoys and they do their "Puups" over there. :rotfl:

So a Bouy only looks brand new a few days in her life ! :88)

The fogbell thingies would make wonders for my Norwegian Lighthouses (NorOps segment) mod.

I think its a matter of assigning a sound source to an object. Not sure that a bell would be the best option though. How about a fog horn?

Once you convert the .WAV to .OGG, you'd need to hex edit the *.dsd file to let you attach the sound to the lighthouse. Not something I can help you with as I wasn't born with the ability to learn how to edit hex code. DD or one of the other Hex editing modders may be able to assist.

@ Tarjak : don't worry too much, mate, there is no problem, DD edited it, and it seems to look real enough. :yep:

:up:

Unfortunately, I do not have any good fog horn sample... :-?
So yes you'll hear bells ringing when entering/leaving harbours.

Moin,

the bell is the best option as it is real. Besides any (new) sound could be attached. At the moment you can hear the bell from a distance of 400-500m when the engines are shut down. Running at 4kts you will recognize the bell at about 100m, provided you have very good ears. Thanks Pontius and Alex (basic bell sound / mixing+additional sound).

Sorry my post re the foghorn was in reference to safekeepers lighthouse post. I think the bell if fine fo rthe buoy but I think a bell on a lighthouse is a bit weak. Thats why lighthouses had foghorns. 100m is too close to be hearing a lighthouse warning.:D

Didn't mean to hijack the thread.

Moin TarJak,
no problem. Are the horn sounds free to use? I could attach them to SK´s ligthhouse, if he wants me to do. Besides there are still some other units I promised SK to release for use with NorOps (e.g. floating marina, beached rowboat).

Regards,
DD

Cool :rock: :up:

No, no, I didn't mean I want my lighthouses to emit bell sounds:oops:! I meant that the Lighthouse mod (part of NorOps) aims to include as many as possible of the lighthouses in Norway, and that if DivingDuck releases a fog bell bouy, I can include those as well as the lighthouses, as I've found a list of Norwegian coast fog bells, fog horns and lighthouses.

Excelent bouys DD. Just getting back to SS and finding this new stuff... most impressive.

Gosh, you know what we need here at SS... a Mod Heros list for all the fantastic mods done by all these great modders. And that goes not only for individual mods but for all those involved with the expansion mods too.... all of them. :yep:

@DD The site I got them from says they are free of copyright and restrictions. At least one of them has been used as the standard foghorn sound in cartoons for many many years.

@SK sorry mate misunderstood your post about the fogbell thingies. :) I reckon the fog horns would add to the immersion though. Imagine creeping past a harbour in poor visibility and hearing that coming out of the fog!

After editing a bit this one, it does not look bad... :hmm:
