Sound question...

Fattysbox · 09-30-05, 12:59 PM

Hi all!

Recently switched to RuB1.43 and eeryting is great. However I have question regarding sounds during a crash dive. Instead of hearing the normal alarm bell now I hear the crew voices, pressure equalization, and bilge pumps working. Kudos to the special effects but the alarm bell doesn't sound loud enough is hardly audible.

I guess my question is there any to get the shrill bell back?

Also, when I first started playing SH3, I was attacked on a patrol by RAF who came out of the sun... Scared the crew to pieces, ordered crash dive and I could have sworn I heard "AAALLAARRRMMM!!!!" as the crew scrambled. I only heard once and wondering if this ever occurs again in the game besides real scares... :hmm:

A little bit off topic>

I'm sure everyone has seen U-571... And I'm sure that everyone negative opinions on it... I feel its BS after ten minutes. But the first ten minutes I thought they did very well. Especially during the attack approach, and destroyer detection. I love seeing the german crew rushing forward during the crash dive. It would have been cool if they modeled that action in the control room in SH3. The rest of the movie is so woefully innacuarate(sp) and holloywood-like. It all started when "U-571", in the beginning of the movie, gets DC'd, blow its ballast and the destroyer is nowhere in sight

I need to watch Das Boot, I've read the book already

U-571 won an Oscar for sound editting. It knocks the pictures off of the walls in my home theatre, and the neighbors complain. Das Boot, God bless it, just doesn't have that aural punch. Nonetheless, in terms of character and storytelling, it's Das Boot that's obviously the giant of the genre.

There's a great thread a few lines down about the various versions of Das Boot.

As for your sounds, I can offer this basic advice, in that there's a sound folder in SHIII where everything is stored. You can click on the icons and hear them for yourself. It's quite possible that your favorite sound has been over-written by a mod. In the "great advice that's too late" department, I would suggest that if you are a JSGME user, you could simply revert your files to get the original sounds back. If your favorite sounds are indeed gone, try to identify which files have been written over, and maybe someone has the originals that they can share with you, or you could re-install the game and retrieve the files for yourself.
