Crew lost their voices.
 

Ever since yesterday I've managed to lose all audio responses from crew. Everything else is fine, if I change speed say, I hear the engines warm up or cool down but no acknowledgement. They've become a bunch of ignorant mutineers. :stare:

Really though it's a bit distressing and a re-install hasn't fixed it. I don't understand the file architecture so I don't know if keeping save games on uninstall makes a difference but that's what I did. All speech files seem to be in their rightful place and I've tried both English and German.

Hyelp? :hmm:

Hmmm. That's a new one by me. Maybe they're just trying to live up to their roles as silent hunters? :hmm:

Do you use SH3 commander ?
Have you altered the TC settings in commander if so ?

Yes!

Thanks for the lead, I'll probably figure it out now. I'd assume it had something to do with setting voices TC to 1 so I hear all sounds no matter what.

I bet has something to do with the TC settings!! :yep:
If you can't figure it out, manually set it to:

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=256
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=1
RadioReport=2048
Particles=8
PrayState=64
HunterState=64
3DRender=32
Maximum=2048

Note that these are MY settings, and not the default settings. You will have the crew voices back though.

These are the settings I use.


[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=128
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=1
RadioReport=8
Particles=8
PrayState=32
HunterState=32
3DRender=32
Maximum=256

SH3commander FAQ does state you can lose voices due to alrering the time compression
Just revert back to previous settings and all should be fine

Crew without voices is no good, you need to have voices for the choir to sing Hoochie Woochie.

I got it, they're on top form again. Vicks menthol inhaler does wonders for sore throats.
