Default ok

took off that other sounds mod and used the no wake one and turned the volume up two clicks on the remote and its got a really sweet rumble. Let me try the idle one again. So far its much better then stock Sir.

Default Thank you Sir!

You got it with those sounds very close to actual footage of those engines. I get the best results out of the no wake version. Wish you had a no wake with idle that would be top shelf. I was having some issues with the first one maybe its my system but I tweaked my sound system gave it a few clicks up and it really has a nice rumble to it. Flank speed is just about all you can get without getting a hiss in the background.

As promised I will be donating to Subsim tomorrow. Even though I was told to stop spamming pictures If you do some tweaks let me know so I can get the DL would love a no wake idle but I know you got other stuff going on to Sir.

You Sir

You were told nothing of the kind. I merely asked if you were aware of the Screenshots thread. You can post what you want where you want.

Up to a point.

Very nice! I like the new diesel sound, sounds more realistic for being outside the boat. As far as the idle sound though, I would keep that the same as when your moving. I think making it the same as the 1/3 bell would work nicely since you'd only be running one engine for the most part.

Difficult to do anything with this kind of stuff. If they had programmed it for even one stereo file per bell it would have worked better, but we got one mono WAV file with software to emulate stereo and increase/decrease volume to emulate speeds. Trainz (train simulator) for example has WAV files for throttle up, throttle down, idle, and steady, 3 different WAV files for each of 8 throttle notches - AND you can set any locomotive up to use a DIFFERENT engine sound, I got six repaints of an Alco RS-11 with different amounts of rust and flaking paint, I can use six different folders with smooth sounds for new locos, rougher for older ones, and coughing sputtering backfiring for the really old ones. I can even add smoke and exhaust flames that are unique to each skin.



I really wish I could do stuff like that for SH4, but the main program is just too limited.

Missed one; " Wish you had a no wake with idle". Read the Readme.txt, to get that all you have to do is use JGSME to disable, open the \SH4\Mods folder and make a new folder, name it whatever you want. Open DieselRoar_Idle and copy the Data folder from that, paste into
Mods\Den0's custom mod (or whatever you named the new folder). Go down in that folder to
Den0's custom mod\Data\Sound, you should see three files;

Submarine_diesel_exterior.wav
Vapor Siaj.wav
Submarine waves lap.wav

The roaring diesel is in the first, wake in the second, idling diesel in the third. Delete Vapor Siaj.wav, now you have your own custom mod with the roar and the idle but the original wake. Install that with JGSME and you have exactly what you want.

Very interesting. I'm not sure if I like the overload distortion or not. What is important is to have the options. Good job.

Default Distorted.

It has a lil Distortion at flank but I think with the software he uses to get it that volume brings some of that unwanted wash at top end flank. Still its very cool sound mod its nice to be able to hear the engines now versus some sound mods where all you could here was some engine and the wave spray against the bow every few seconds that was way to loud. Example would be ROW sound effects he has a good package but he updated it and add louder bad weather killed the mod imo. I would have left it alone because now in rough water it drives me crazy. I don't know who made alt engine sounds for TMO in the TMO download but those are very sweet sounding as well.

From a historical point...

Here is a Gato up close just running ONE engine!


And this bad boy here...


Like you said its good to have choices

Yeah, I tried increasing the volume but get more noise and distortion, that was as high as I was comfortable with. Den0 and I were talking about hardware issues, I have one computer with a Sigmatel onboard sound chip, the other with a SB Audigy card, original DELL desktop speakers with a subwoofer, and a $20 set or $40 set of headphones. On speakers or the cheap headset it works okay, the expensive headset has some kind of noise reduction built in - with that one there's a null at 000 or 180, so you have to turn the camera slightly to one side to hear the engine at all.

That first vid;



Is something I would love to do, smoke and cooling water effects, but again the game is programmed too simple and too weird.

An aside here, I've been modding assorted simulators since the original Bruce Artwick flight simulator in 1984, this is the first game I've seen that doesn't have What You Hear Is What You Get - every other simulator, first person shooter, or sword and sorcery game that I've done mods for over the years whatever I hear in a sound editor is what I hear in the game. For some screwy reason when I get that Manila Bay photo recon mission where you have to scrape over that improbably placed antisub net, the volume is HIGHER in the game than it is in the editor (makes a godawful racket). All the other files the volume is about half the actual volume. Except seagulls, come to think of it, them squawkers are about the same decibel level.
