Anybody ever heard the 'We are diving too deep!' voice message?

I just did. Voice and text message.

It's been my hunch that those messages are coded somewhere to occur at a specific depth. Same depth as Sh3. Since subs in SH4 don't dive that deep - we never hear them.

So then... max out the crash depth on your sub for 265 meters or so?

Very cool!

I think the reason we don't have voices is because of the phrases .dat files. I'm fairly sure that is where the problem lies. I made an intersesting discovery in those files.

Fixes like this and the 'destroyer in attack run' will add a lot to the game. Really hope you manage to crack these little gems nvdrifter!

Interior damage sounds also -I can't believe this was (again!) neglected in the latest patch. Seems that Ubi must have the devs on a very tight leash.

Why your leash statement is most likely true (all programmers are on a tight leash with their parent company (or should be)) perhaps the devs just knew that nvdrifter's genius would blaze through like the heat of a million suns

Surely the diving too deep message could be linked to say 10-25 feet above whatever your current crush depth might be (if damaged) to allow you time to level off before instant death? I don't know much about modding, just my idea.

Actually, the message plays at 580 feet. :hmm:
