Gramophone modding
Wondering if anyone could help me to figure out how to add music to the gramophone!
I have MP3 files , but they seem different from the ones listed in the gramophone file. I just cant imagine just dragging and dropping an mp3 will work! Or will it? |

Hi Gunnarr,
the best way is to create a small MOD for your MP3 files. Let's say it must have the following strucrure: GramophoneMOD -> data ---> Sound ------> Gramophone ---------> PlayMe1.MP3 ---------> PlayMe2.MP3 ---------> and so on. You can ad Stereo or Mono MP3 files (or OGG files). The name of the MP3 files is irrelevant - just a suggestion. Put this MOD into your MOD folder and enable it with JSGME. Alternativ you can directly copy and paste your MP3 files into the folder "data/Sound/Gramophone", but the JSGME variant is better because you can chnage the MP3 files very easy - if you want.

Although MP3 files will play on most computers, you will avoid trouble if you convert all MP3 files to ogg files before placing them into the above mentioned folder. I use format factory to convert files.

I use SH3 Commander to organize my German songs by date, so they don't play until the appropriate year.

Hey Guys thanks for the replies!
I know how to do it all now :p By the way, Sailor Steve and rowi58, do you make your own selections? Or do you have a mod you like to use for it? I would love to have the same thing you guys are using, same songs and everything. It would save me the work compiling songs for each year :p I really like the idea of that, I do that in other games too, listening to songs brought out for the in-game year. But I have to alt tab and search for songs on wikipedia and stuff like that for each one, takes a long time. And I know alt tabbing is bad for silent hunter 3 :p |

Wow!!! Thanks! One quick question, so do I just put it in the gramophone folder? Do I have to put a copy of the 1940 songs in every folder marked 1940xxxx for example? Also, would it be wise to remove the default songs from the normal gramophone folder? (putting them in some folder outside, in case I want to listen to some of them... I really like one of them) I imagine if I do not remove them I will be listening to them just as much as the SH3 Commander songs I add? |
