Merchant Sirens and Fire.......

Hawk U-375 · 09-19-06, 07:16 AM

My next Project....is trying to mix the "Fire" sound of a Merchant ship with Sirens....
I will take the Ship Burning sound and mix it....hopefully...with "the Ships "General Alarm" sound.....:hmm:

I want to make it seem like the crew is putting out the Fire or....going to the lifeboats.....

I will let ya's know when I get somthing.......

Sounds great to me

SkvyWvr · 09-19-06, 08:05 AM

That would be fantastic!

bunkerratt · 09-19-06, 08:22 AM

this sounds really like a good idea...brings back memories....the following is a test of the ships general quaters /collision/and fire alarms...bong bong bong...woop woop woop ...wooeeoop wooeooop wooeeoop....test sat test compleate...

CCIP · 09-19-06, 12:30 PM

Great!

The one thing I miss is having flares and lowering lifeboats to go along with it. But this'd be a great start

I tried to do this awhile ago, but with no luck. If I remeber right, the fire sound only is heard when the oil is burning. The fires aboard the ships have no sound. Not 100% sure about it, tho.

Another option is to mix the siren sound with the ship sinking sound. The SS play when the ship is out of health. But then again, you would hear the screams and sirens when the ship is under water too.

Hawk U-375 · 09-19-06, 01:02 PM

RgR that....I've been messing with the "Timetraveller Tweaker"....hopeing to make adjustments to the "Sh3 sdl." file....there is a Fire sound in it to be adjusted.

I've been testing and found that there is a Fire sound when a Merchant has been hit....although it's low like the "Ship Sinking"...sound.....
I'll be racking my Brains tonight on this on...but I will check the Oil sound as well....

Hawk U-375 · 09-19-06, 09:57 PM

Well I got it to work twice tonight.....

....but not all the time.....

.....Both times the Siren worked...it was Critical Hit.....I think Dowly is right....if the "Oil is Hit" you get the sound.....
I'm still messing around with the Sound useing Timetraveller's Mini Tweaker....(Thanks Reece) for pointing me in the right Direction....
The 2 times it worked it Sounded GREAT!

The other times.......

well not so good....

Still working on it....if anyone wants to help please pm me and I'll send you the File....

There's a fire and a siren sound?

Edit: Ok normal sirens. I thought there was a special one too when a ship was hit.

Hawk U-375 · 09-20-06, 11:36 AM

There is a "Ship Fire 1"...in the Sounds.....What I did was blend a ships Siren into it.....

...I'd hope that when the Sound clip activated you'd hear both....:hmm: ...It's tricky....

Hawk U-375 · 09-20-06, 09:50 PM

Ok I think I got it!!!!!!!!! I had to abandon the Siren /Fire....sound clip...because it didn't work as often as I had hoped..... :?
Sooo I went a New Route.....I took the: P11_@ref_torp_great_explosion
and added the Siren onto it...this way...I didn't have to mess with the SH3 sdl. file.... :? 8) .......

Sooooooo When that Eel hits a Merchant...you will hear a loud explosion...then the Siren goes off....... 8) ....I have it extend for 28 seconds....If a second eel hits.....they sound like they are in Stereo....
I need Testers......Sooooooo Who will help me out.....
Great thing about this is....the farther away from teh Ship the more muffled it will be...as too distance..... :wink:

Back up all files!!!!!!!!!!! (In case you don't like)

FEED BACK!!!!!!! I need it...sooo help http://rapidshare.de/files/33871984/P11__ref_torp_great_explosion.wav.html

I put a new one in......

John Pancoast · 09-20-06, 10:16 PM

Any idea if a siren was even routinely used in this type of scenario ?

Anyway, nice sound, but maybe add a delay before it starts, after the torpedo hit.

Siren comes on the nanosecond the torpedo hits, which seems a bit to quick.

SeaWolf IV · 09-21-06, 12:02 AM

I played with the file and made the siren delay for a few seconds after the torp hit.

The only problem Ive found is if you hit a ship with several torps quickly the alarm can get duplicated and sound a tad off. If there were some way of making this wav only play during the first torp hit on a ship I think it would be perfect.

Nice overall idea!

bunkerratt · 09-21-06, 02:20 AM

ok ..i'm going to run it now .i use the sound delay from avg joe ...will this alter that too?..guess i'll find out ..
