No German voices in U-boat missions??

ah you see I would like the text and menu's etc to be in english, but the german sailors to speak german..when they speak in an american accent it kind of ruins the immersion..

It would be good if, like in SH3, you could set the characters to speak in german while the game runs in english.


I'm sure a simple sound mod could fix the problem..and will just have to remove the sound mod whenever I want to use an american sub, or the americans will all be speaking german!

I'm actually not sure if SH4 even has German voices... but you can try installing using the German language option and see if it does. If this is the case, then just copy the speech folder out of that installation, and paste it into an English installation.

Alternatively chuck in the SH3 speech files and see what happens.

yer I dont have Sh3 to grab the speech files from, that was my first idea..

I'll try install in german and see if the sailors speak in german..

[Boris]

Well if they don't, then it's really poor form to release a U-boat mod without German voices.

any chance of a uploading the SH3 german voices files?? or where I can find them?

To be perfectly honest, I'm not surprised. Its the typical kind of oversight that the devs would make. Although it would be cool to play U-boats in the Pacific, its just a sales ploy. Not really a huge amount of content added IMHO.

Not my cup of tea, due to the fact you could call it a what if add on. No thank you I got better things to spend my money on like a good WW2 book.

U 862 was the only German U-boat in the Pacific and sunk an American merchant ship on the Australian east coast, all other German Monsun U-boats operated from the island of Penang (Malaysia) in the Indian Ocean and South China Sea.

Or be like the guys using different supermods, and have two installs. It's what I intend to do, when I can finally run it.

- other patches 1.4 or 1.5(whatever)

but i dont know if it works anymore, wanted to hear the crew to speak english on amarican subs and befor buy the addon i want to hear some good response

Spaxspore just released a mod to enable German crew voices...

Not sure if this also affects the US Campaign, since he didn't mention anything about that in his release notes. To be safe, make this the final mod in your mod list. It can easily be removed before starting a US career.

the german voice patch did the trick

[tennozan]

And praytell, what German voice patch would that be?

I really don't want to listen to English voices in my U-boat...

See the SH4 mods section
