"wie ein Pferdeapfel"

Dronston · 09-28-13, 04:30 AM

In the DBSM you here this phrase a lot and it's driving me a bit crazy, goes something like this:

"...fein 'raus. Wie ein Pferdeapfel,der ist nämlich auch fein 'raus, die braucht sich nicht mehr zu sorgen und quallen darf er auch".

Anyone know if I can remove this phrase?
On a different note, I sometimes also hear, in English while using German voices: "both planes zero", which is just out of character and ruins immersion a bit.

Just some pet peeves I have

I love the Das Boot Sound Mod!

I'm checking it now to see what I can figure out.

[Edit] On the first problem, when are you hearing that phrase? I can't find anything that sounds like that to me. Can you describe the circumstance when it plays?

About "Both planes zero", I've listened to everything I can think of that would trigger that phrase. Is it definitely from the movie, or is it a regular game-voice? Is there a chance you have your Language button set to 'English'?

Hi Steve, I did what I should have done to begin with, look for the file itself --> the phrase is part of amb_SubmarineInterior.wav, starts at about 12 seconds in.

I have set the language to German, still looking if it is in amb_SubmarineInterior.wav but that loop takes 33 minutes so...

Edit: found second phrase too, in the same amb_SubmarineInterior.wav it's at about 2:24 "easy, both planes zero".

Although the loop is 33 minutes it seems to reinitiate after each time you go from bridge to interior, if the loop would simply go on where it left off it wouldn't be so annoying to me.

Maybe you can edit the wav file with Audacity, which is a free and simple to use audio editor.

That explains why I couldn't find it!

I think Sublynx has the only viable solution. I don't think I've ever noticed either of those. I tend to tune it out, so for me it's just background noise.

Sorry for the work I unnecessarily gave you but thanks very much for the effort.
Wil give Sublynx's solution a go.
