[REL] A mod of WilhelmTell's Real Diesel sounds

[SUBMAN1]

WilhelmTell's find of these real diesel sounds if a real positive addition to SHIV in my opinion. I however modified the two most important files a bit further - the exterior sound and the underwater sound. The original post looks like it was done with a WAV recorder instead of the actual file (The clue that gave this away was the 44.1 khz sample rate when the original is not 44.1, but is actually 22.05 khz), and it was recorded at too high a signal strength putting it into distortion teritory, so that is what prompted me to redo them as you see here.

[edited: includes my aircraft engine replacement sounds now too]

The two main differences are, I did not use a wav recorder to do the sounds. It is done by converting the mov file as found on the original site through AVISynth, and just saving it in a different format - wav. The original volume levels and detail were preserved this way. I then chopped off the last 6 seconds of it to make the engine sounds, and increased the signal level to make it pretty much an exact match as the default SHIV external diesel sound as shipped with the actual game. This makes it so you can once again here the nice splash of waves over the bow without the diesels drowning out the ambience.

On the underwater sound, I analyzed the default SHIV sound and made an accurate reverb match in the new sound. So it will now sound like the original underwater sounds as found in the default SHIV complete with reverb, but simply with a new engine as found on the real subs. I also went for a close match to the original signal volume as found in the default files again so the prop noise stands out nicely while you can still hear the diesels humming away.

Feel free to modify them from here if anyone cares.

Thanks,
