Sound officer a saboteur?
 

This is weird. Have been cruisng the North Atlantic for days in search of enemy warship (Blockade of Germany, jan 1940). Seas seem completely empty. Every now and the we dive to listen around. Every time I take over the earphones myself and immediatley the whole crew starts wiping their feet and stamping around as loud as they can. After another hour of slow underwater cruis I ask the sound guy if he spots anything. "Yes, there is an enemy warship, about 8000 meters on the port site".

Now isn't it a logic thing that he would report something like that without my asking for it after days listening to empty seas??? Can I have this guys executed for treason??? ;)

seems the hydrophone guy never works in this game. Only time i can ever find out if there is something on hydrophone is if i hear it or if i ask for a sound contact.

Makes it kinda unimmersive for me but oh well

try sh5.exe patch 1

ive had that patch sence the first night he came out with it...then i switched over to the patching program....still doesnt make him sound off like he should...Though i do like that the thing actully says what they are now...as well as tracks them 10 degrees either way

That's strange. My sonar man always seems to call out sound contacts to me. Now following them when asked...that's a different story.

That's funny, so many different behaviours in the same game...

My sound officer (allmost) never seems to mention a sound contact by himself, I have to ear it myself or ask him for it. But when I ask him he usually keeps tracking it and calling bearings OK. I also have patch 1 (and several mods) installed.

I used to complain alot about my sound guy. Often called him a useless deaf ******.
But then Sober released this mod :-

sobers realistic hydrophone operator SH5

And my sound guy started to be able to hear!!! Follow targets etc.

And then recently TDW gave us the info to Hex edit the .exe which ment that the sound guys works perfectly for me know.:yep:

I'm not sure if I still need sobers mod, but I still use it.


Oh and Welcome to Subsim Frin63.
:salute:

Thanks for that info Jwilliams! I will certainly try it out and put the execution of the sound guy on hold... :DL

see J, i have that hex edit, and have had it sence it first put it out and yet my sound guy doesnt tell me anything....ill hit the button to tell me nearest sound contact and bam it shows in the message box, but sound guy never said anything.

and i have the latest hydro cause i have that mod that gives you all the newest things.

Do you use any sound mods???
Sound mods could change the way crew report things.

I usually dive to 20 - 25 meters to do a hydro check. And if there are contacts, my sound guy starts reporting once I pass 12 meters.:yep:

:salute:

na i dont use any sound mods...i may try that sobers hydro phone thing tho when i get home.

Sober erased his mod after tdw released the sh5.exe v01... so i think you should patch your game with sh5.exe v0.1 if you not did until now

Aha! So that's why I couldn't find it. Does anyone have a copy of it? I'm not really good with messing around with Hex editors and stuff. If I don't keep it simple, I'll screw something up....that's why I haven't done TDWs hydro fix yet.

My words exactly. Anyone please?

You don't have to use a HexEditor no more!

TDW built a SH5Patcher!

Have look at the first post.
