Diesel startup sequence for Flatmonkey's Engine room

arnahud2 · 01-24-10, 12:05 PM

'Working on submarine_surfacing.wav's itself lenght. 'tryin to know how many secondes i could add, there is a limit (the same thing appeared with SH4. The best way is, firstly, to determine which is exectly the maximum lengh allowed by the game for the modified sound file). If the sound is too long, SH3's code don't allow ingame session to play it. There's a BIG silence instead. 24 sec too long. Let's trying 18...

Stay tuned !!!

Hi,

I found max lengh for the file, and started "das boat" diesel recording, with a lot of difficulties ( i use cool edit pro 2.1)

First attempts ("direct way", through Cool Edit, gave me a very "discorded" sound, very very sad, whilst monitoring sound during recording was not so bad.

So, i tried once again and minimized input level at 50%, and 25% : same results...

Then, i made further attempts using a "passive way", as if i was recording with an old tape recorder (i recorded the stereo-mix output of my sound card, many records of tapes or LP's was digitally recorded successfully by this way) : Same results.

I wonder if the sound track of the movie could be protected ? I never seen that before.

My sound card (in a six-month Samsung laptop) is a common Realtek 7.1

Somebody could help me ?

EDIT : as Flakmonkey seems to meet some difficulties with the 3D engine animation, sound synchronization will be a secondary objective....

Thanks,

I don't give up, as i'm sure sound track from DVD can't be right protected.
I think a different way must be used to record only the sounds , as it's the first time i do that.
So, let me a few times to understand what is the best way to record this sound track. (maybe Cool Edit settings must be tweak, for example).

Let's try it tonight !!!

Check if the sound from this video is of any help:

It's 100% not coyprighted material

Yes, sounds from this video could help ! Only one trying session in a "passive way" has been successful.

But i think that "das boat" sounds are better, in terms of quality, and as i said before, i don't give up.

So, if "das boat sounds" recording would be impossible, be sure that i will use some sounds from youtube or else.

Thanks, your help is welcome !!
