Sub Diesel engine sounds help

[mobius 1]

well I have been messing about with .wav files trying to get my engine to sound different then the normal chatter it puts out all of the time. I have been trying to replace
Submarine_diesel_underwater.wav
Submarine_diesel_exterior.wav
in the data\sound\ folder
I recorded/mixed new mono sounds at same bitrate as the original file and tried to make it about the same length as the orginal .wav's (I don't think I got the length right on, and this might have something to do with it)
But when I replace the old files I get no engine noise at all.
Anybody have any clue as to what I am doing wrong? anyone have success doing this kind of thing before?

http://files.filefront.com/ChuggingD.../fileinfo.html


hopefully those links should work...The sound is of an old hotrod at idle and a hydroelectric powerplant turbine mixed together..
Thanks people!

Ok I figured it out I think it was the format of the sound files, (or maybe the time length, because I tightend that up too)
Anyways here it is in all of it's splendifferous (working) glory: (The first mod I've ever released)

kinda reminds me of chitty-chitty-bang bang..
JSGME ready
have fun people!!

I made a tiger shark skin for the IXC as well, but I won't release that for awhile until I get permissions from the guy whom I based the work on. Heres a teaser screenie:

Peace all
Have fun!

nice...very throaty thanks for your contribution

Thanks Vader! Glad you like!
What do you think of the realism? Is it believable? I was thinking about giving it a bit more volume, but it is already up pretty high and I am afraid of blaring distortion..

I think I did pretty well though, it no longer sounds like I have hamsters running in their wheels with playing cards clothespinned to their backs everytime I call for flank speed.
Beginners luck eh?

[Wolfehunter]

Sounds very good thanks.

[wildchild]

nice sounds but the Submarine_diesel_underwater has a bit of a distorsion in it ill take a look at it for you

[mobius 1]

Thanks Wildchild, that would be awesome!
heh- all the distortion comes from all the loud bass from the power plant generator (used it more underwater)
I could give you the original recordings if you'd like...

[wildchild]

yeah man that would be top

[mobius 1]

Thanks tons for your help wildchild

Thanks in part to you I am releasing :
ChuggingDiesel ver. 1.1 "The smoother chug"
http://files.filefront.com/ChuggingD.../fileinfo.html

Again, JSGME.exe friendly.

I dunno which one I am more proud of I think this one is a bit more realistic, but the first one is still fun.

Go ahead and try em both out, and give me your opinion please?

cool, sounds like my sub actually has 2800 hp instead of the horsepower of a truck...

[Castout]

Looks like a great job done. Will give it a try. Downloading.

Whoa my sub ROARS much more than a tank does.
I'll give it a try in game.

I hope it works great. My neighbors would feel the tremor whenever I play SH3 at night now. Muahahahahahahahahaha

Thanks guys for the complements! I am glad people are enjoying the mod.

Ok guys I have just got done scrutinizing and reworking this mod because halfway through my Virgin Hot-Sub-Rod voyage I noticed that there was an annoying re-curring pop every 4.45 seconds (the length of the file) when I got close to the sub underwater...It was not looping correctly .
So back to the drawing board on that one...I re-did everything, some at a higher sample rate (44100kHz, instead of 22050kHz regular) for the underwater engine sound and got a sample that looped flawlessly, had more depth, and sounds great!
So now I give you my 3rd and final installment of
Chugging Diesel Sub Engine sound pack Version 1.2 FINAL:

Enjoy!:rotfl:

Any chance to make the file last longer now the pattern is a bit too obvious for my ear(the exterior growling). Thanks sounds wonderful.

My sub growls in the right kind of way now. Be downloading your third(and final?) installment.
