Is There background Music in UBOAT?
 

As I have yet to purchase a laptop PC capable of playing games, I am trying to learn more about gaming itself and YouTube helps. In watching UBOAT being played by various YouTube Gamers, (Taff In Exile my favorite so far), it is difficult to know if the background music is part of the game or if it is edited in by the YouTuber to add excitement to the game.

My reason for asking: If I decide to go all in and drop ~$4K on a laptop gaming PC, I worry it won't be as exiting as watching a quality UBOAT YouTuber comment as the game plays with the background music adding drama.

Is the background music part of UBOAT or is it added?

Thanking you in advance!

For reference, the only game I have ever played was 'Leisure Suit Larry and The Land of The Lounge Lizards' in 1988. And this was on a very heavy 'portable' Compaq computer.

Welcome aboard!
 

i watch Taff myself i say he puts his own in you can play with background music though i don't like playing background music myself and never had

Most games come with a fairly decent soundtrack, and you can often drop music files into a designated folder and the game will play your music. I like to cruise down the highways of America and Europe in my big rigs in VR listening to Frank Sinatra in, "American Truck Simulator" and, "European Truck Simulator 2".

You know about Steam, right? Yeah, it's free, get it if you don't already have it. Once you have it installed, you need these:

Call to Arms
Call to Arms Gates of Hell
Cold Waters
Destroyer The U-Boat Hunter
Easy Red 2
Graviteam Tactics Mius Front
Ground Branch
Gunner Heat PC
Naval Hurricane
Regiments
Sniper Elite 4
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2
Steel Armor Blaze of War
Steel Division Normandy '44
Tank Warfare Tunisia 1943
UBOAT
War On the Sea
WARNO

That'll get you started. 1988? Well, that's been a while. I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning, but I remember 1988 like it was yesterday, LOL!

It was probably all those vacuum tubes and the hurricane fan to cool them that made that portable Compaq so heavy back in '88. :haha:

Thank you for the replies. I really appreciate it.

Thinking back on my first ‘portable’ Compaq computer, it weighed 28 pounds and cost around $3K in 1983.

And thank you Oubass for all of the game suggestions!

Nice list indeed :yep:

The game files contains three folders for three different sources of music in the game:

- Assets/Music/Allied Radio Stations
- Assets/Music/Axis Radio Stations
- Assets/Music/Background Music

You can place your wav, ogg or aiff audio files inside them and game will correctly recognize these files. I dumped all of my 23 songs...mostly from DAS BOOT into the radio station folder an they played without any additional steps.

To play any track from the "Background Music" folder in the game, you will have to declare each track in "Data Sheets/General.xlsx" file. It can be edited using free software like Microsoft Excel Online (suggested) or Open Office. You can restrict certain tracks to travel, battle, night time etc. by editing their properties in that file. Bur I found this much to cumbersome!

Welcome aboard!
 

Nice :yep:

I hope the Devs - or modders - can come up with an easy way to import soundfiles.
I have a ton of WW2 radio recordings and 30's/40's music stored somewhere, from my SH3 days.

Hi Paajtor


This has been possible for a long time. Tom Sunday has already described it above.


Cheers Ruby

Yes, I saw that.:up:
