why can't I surface the boat?

And yeah, there is the background theme music when the Old Man looks at Werner and says "That's our boat!" It goes right through the 1WO's rundown and the kaleun's 'speech', and ends with "Auf Maneuver station!"

But of course you can put anything you like into that file and it will play it.

That's kinda what I figured, any .ogg file with the proper name, the game will find and play in the appropriate context.

As for 'that' song, it's available for the gramophone from several mod sources.

Heh, that song was on my hard drive before I even had the game. As was the Tipperary song. They went into the Gram folder about 1.2 seconds after I found it was possible to add my own stuff to it.

That's how I've always felt about the week-kneed "Alarm" from the stock game. GWX uses the original DBSM file, so you already know how that sounds when you hit the 'C' key. Back when I first released it I had one guy say he nearly wet himself the first time he heard it. Then he went back and crash-dived several more times just to listen to it.

Been there, done that! Altho I really never played the stock game, I wandered into Subsim and found out all about mods and supermods before I really got that far into it. But I played enough to realize that GWX added a lot of very cool sound that wasn't there before.

Oh, and one more thing: I removed all the "Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!" files, so you don't get everybody saying "Yes, Sir!" before they carry out every order (especially "Alaaaaarm!"). Real navy dudes don't talk like that. I still have to fix that for SH4 (though there is a DBSM version for it - I'm talking about the US side).

I don't know, I'm still at the point where I like the response, if only because it lets me know that the game is actually responding to whatever order I think I just gave. I guess the "jawohl herr kaleun" could be skipped as long as I get some feedback, like the order being repeated down the line.

Altho I should say I've got some other sound mod running now that has repeated orders as part of it so I may only be hearing those for that reason anyway.
