Help me and I DONATE to SUBSIM

sub2 · 10-29-10, 04:09 PM

hi guys!

very new to SH3. New to applying mods too. My main aim is to convert my living room (when the wife and kids are out) to a submarine living condition. I intend to use voice commands for added immersion. I have a problem in that the Sonarman doesn't use his voice to report on 'Repeat last report' / Report on nearest contact / Report on nearest warship contact. He reports them only as a script which is not what would happen in a real submarine. I have SH3+patch1.4b+GWX.
I will be more than happy to DONATE 20 Euro if someone can direct me to the best mod which solves my problem.

Thanks in advance.

I don't use voice commands, but a search of subsim might help you. I suspect that since the game doesn't give these responses out loud, that it will not be possible unless you make the mod yourself. I think it should be possible to make such a mod.

IIRC there is a voice command mod or way to do it floating around here somewhere.

Good luck!

I think you'd have to do it yourself, involving a lot of research. Not even SH5, the latest in the series has such a voice report.

For immersion feeling, when it is raining on screen, go stand in the shower (cold water) for five minutes and then return to the game. You cannot change or dry yourself until you dive. (towels on the floor)

Don't forget red light bulbs for night. Open all the windows to let in air, regardless of outside temp. Close them and all doors when under water.

Stand, not sit, to run the game. Enjoy !

Don't forget to bring in your lawn sprinkler and turn it on when you are getting depth charged.

thanks for your replies fellow crew members. It seems that it should be easy to get the sonarman to give the reports audibly as well as script on request. he does speak them out spontaneously when the first contact is made. So...ok...how do i get to do modding? I hear the laughter...but I'm a persistent kind of guy. Can someone point me in the right direction to start modding?
Thanks

Gerald · 10-30-10, 10:07 AM

What would you do with modding, any specific area you think of....

No one is laughing. The best modders here started off not knowing anything. Who knows - you might end up being one of them.

Have a look at the modding sections and decide what your main interest might be, then identify a small mod that catches your eye and PM the modder for a little advice....I'm confident nobody will laugh at you.

I'm pretty sure he means that he wants to mod the game to have the sonar man audio run everytime he reports, not just when he initially gets a contact.

sub2 · 10-31-10, 07:18 AM

hi,

yes that's correct, I just want to fix the sonarman to give me audible replies on my command. The radioman has this problem too. For me it's going to be about immersive realism. I intend to have as many actions performed by my voice commands as possible. I will have a small monitor perched on a shelve at eye level infront of which will be a tube with a binocular sized cut out. This will be my periscope. When I command 'up attack periscope' the computer monitor will also switch to the periscope view and I will look at the action through there as a real sub commander would do. Another monitor will be used for any other actions such as Nav map. This monitor will sit on a desk and I move to it to do my calculations when required. I'll have cordless headphones so i can go to the kitchen and make myself a cup of tea (I'm English you know) while still playing the game, as a commander might go to other parts of the sub but still be contactable.

Voice commands are readily available with the SH3Speech program. It is a ridiculously fun little program to play with in that it has some slang instead of just direct orders... (ie. "Let's get some air, chief" is a recognized command for surfacing the boat). Love it and can't live without it now that I've got it working with Flakmonkeys New Interiors.

SH3Speech

Having the crew relay the information verbally for everything (including things that are only text at the moment....I'm not sure. Never some across such a beast.

My main aim is to convert my living room (when the wife and kids are out) to a submarine living condition. I intend to use voice commands for added immersion. I have a problem in that the Sonarman doesn't use his voice to report on 'Repeat last report' / Report on nearest contact / Report on nearest warship contact. He reports them only as a script which is not what would happen in a real submarine. I have SH3+patch1.4b+GWX.
