[Rel] Diesel startup sequence for FM beta 1

[arnahud2]

Hi,

After longs and longs hours tweaking "my" sound, here is the first beta version.

So, this sound is JSGME ready, but before make a backup of the file : 'your SH3 main directory' (ie Silent Hunter 3)/data/sound/ submarine_surfacing.wav

This beta version is a mix between my record of "Das Boot" engine startup sequence and the file submarine_surfacing.wav. Because this one is the "trigger".

It will need a lot of tunes (more or less amplification, start position of the engine sequence in submarine_surfacing (the original one), etc, etc.

At last but not the least, it will need a really fine tune job to be included in the beautiful Flatmonkey's 3D engine room, when these ones start. So, beta2 or final version will be realesed when Flatmonkey will provide his 3D diesels animated parts. Not before.

After 1 hour testing, i just noticed that if you submerged and then, emerged at 0 knots, the sound is played two or three times. don't know why at this time.

Your advices, observations, criticisms are welcome.

[arnahud2]

Sorry,

I was so happy to have a functionnal sound that i did'nt check the link...


Hé hé, i see that there is some other "products" for this sound...

See the first thread for a valid link.

hey arnahud,

it was a strange coincidence that I did a surfacing sound just at the same time you did. Yours sounds great. Basically I did the same thing only I added another sound which I got from Das Boot and the diesel sound which I got from Raptor. The more the merrier I suppose!

[arnahud2]

hi,

don't worry about that.

No competition between us is needed, i mean. Only the best will be the winner (the prize is...one decade without SH5 DRM,

Your sound is great too, i hear it yesterday.

My sound keeps the crew voice at the end of the startup, i found that was interesting. What do you think about that ?

He says "..?..los !!" : ok for 'los", but what could be the word before ?

Any deutschmann in this place to explain crew's words after end of startup ?

(coming from "Das Boot", just before U96 "safe" arrival in La Rochelle)

Otherwise, i will continue working this sound, especially why it is played twice in game...(in the other hand, there are two diesels, so...)

Also very good,

Maybe you should work together and Make only one Sound file,
Example, both sound have good things, in this one I like the
previous mix before the Diesel engine starts, but then I think
that the Diesel sound starting is a Little to low in volume , in the
brett25 sound it is exactly the opposite thing, the diesel sound
starting is right....

you should join efforts guys, cause both of you are going in the
right direction...

sure that sounds cool. I know arnahud is trying to coordinate his mod with FM interior release, so if he needs any of my files hes more than welcome. the only file I think he could use from me is the bass gurgling sound as the boat rises out of the water, i think that one makes a huge difference to the surfacing sound IMHO

hi arnahud2,

this is a known problem is SH3 / SH4, it occours mostly in bad weather conditions. Some sound mods also use a diesel engine startup sequence sound in that file which also have this problem. By wind speed over 10m/s it can happen that it plays 5 or 6 times maybe more. You can try to prevent against it by supporting surfacing with additional blow ballast order, shouldnt use much compressed air if used from periscope depth.

I use a seperate command to play my start sound which is mixed perfectly into my main diesel engines sound. Also a good idea for mixing samples into "submarine_surfacing.wav" are sounds of water droplets / swallows, or man which are climbing the ladder up, because this is fitting also if sound is played more than 1 time.

additional solution could be, connecting the startup sound with command "Engines set to normal propulsion" (switching to operate both engines for propulsion), because this sound is also playable before diesel engines are running.

cheers

Hi,

Yes, mixing our work could be really a benefit, i got this idea yesterday evening too, but i was scared about Brett25 reaction, brrrrr

@ Stormfly : thanks, i will start to find another "one time trigger" sound instead of submarine_surfacing.wav, which appears to cause some problems

On the other side, i don't like the idea to use a key which allow startup-sequence to be played. Automatic playing is, for me, the best way. What do you think about that ?

@Brett25 : except that some fine tune would be needed for our work, i think that the main secondary objective is the synchronisation between "our" sound and the Flatmonkey 3D animated engine. Wait and s...ound !

'Keep working this sound this afternoon

hey arnahud, pm me your email and i can send you the wav file of the sound i grabbed from Das Boot, and see if you can work that into you sound file (if you like it)

[JCWolf]

Now this is it, Now you can join both your ideas and really make a good Sound mod!

I love synchronized team work...great guys!
