Sound bug that you may not know (hidden)

[Chakotay]

hey all

I'd like to report after just browsing my silent hunter 5 data folder in the sounds being curious wanted to know what was what and I came across:

Submarine_GQ_battle_stations_INT
Submarine_GQ_secure_battle_stations_INT
Submarine_relieve_watch_INT

and possible others

all have a voice and whistle go off

when I have ordered battle stations via keyboard and via first officer that this Submarine_GQ_battle_stations_INT doesn't sound only first officer saying "to action stations move it" and when told to no longer be in stations he says" secure from battle stations and that's all I get nothing else not the other voice and whistle. is it a bug? is there a command? is it windows 8???

the only warning sound I get is when I crash dive nothing else. Surly that can't be right?

any solutions

btw anyone wondering whether your missing any sounds or just want to listen to any one u might want for other purposes then look under Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Sound

by the way if you are fed up of the original crash dive alarm then try here http://www.uboataces.com/ref-submarine-sounds.shtml

and convert to wav using this free download (totally free well for stuff under 1minute unless u pay for it for larger stuff http://download.cnet.com/WMV-To-Wav-..._4-173496.html so u can use it ingame

thx mate ill take a look


edit: so what does this do???
I get the impression it's only a crew sound fix

try seeing yourself in your sh5 folder
check out Silent Hunter 5\data\Sound\Submarine_GQ_battle_stations_INT
Silent Hunter 5\data\Sound\Submarine_GQ_secure_battle_stations_I NT
Hunter 5\data\Sound\Submarine_relieve_watch_INT

click on these wav files and see what you think. (I think there are sounds in the directory that somewhere never make it into the game. Perhaps a config error? but Ive never heard these sound effects ingame.

I have noticed certain sound issues missing, too. I thought about adding these sound issues to mod in progress in post #2, but seems like it maybe more complicated going that way. [wip] voices reloaded is about crew dialog which are in data\sound\speech folders. Crew dialog files are purely *.ogg extensions and different triggering than sound files in the data\Sound folder.

As the saying goes (KISS), keep it simple stupid, I thought of an easier way to add missing sound files from Silent Hunter 5\data\Sound folder as long as they are triggered somehow from the commands.cfg file.

Please try this Speech fixes which works great from KarlKoch, too.

I am thinking about adding a new [wip] for sound issues and commands.cfg in the SH5 mods forum soon. I have a totally different approach for an idea on how to implement this.

Just include a list of other files that are not triggered.

It is not windows 8, I am using windows 7.

What exact keyboard commands for battle stations and secure from battle stations? I need very specific answers. What mods are you using if any?

If you can't describe it, then include a pictures.

[Chakotay]

I use the default F7 command and the mods I use (I don't think all work though since I think they overlap) are a long list Ill create a pic

List your mods. Copy your modlist. Click on the "#". Move your cursor between the two ## created. Paste modlist.

[Mikemike47]

Anyone else find missing sounds? Include a modlist if used.

Kitchen sound missing

Anyone else get a repetitive sound when submerged like someone banging every 5 seconds on a drum?

Do you Alt-tab your active game occasionally?

I do but pretty rarely.

Such and similar problems like bugged UI functionality, CO2 built up while on surface ect are commonly associated with alt-tabbing, so try to avoid doing it...

[Compans57]

Cheers mate.

I love this game but it’s a very codependent relationship! I have a similar thing with my cars.

“You just go ahead and alt tab baby. But I’ll starve you and your crew of oxygen. It’s absolutely fine”.

same thing. Btw, the last sound (Submarine_relieve_watch_INT) seems to be from SH4. I remember this sound pretty well. I wonder why it was included in SH5, even in vanilla game. I've partially solved the problem of missing sounds by German voices modpack.
