[REQ] Sinking ship sound on hydrophone

Ooh... I just realized I recently started using the realistic sound travel setting (after nice Xi-Fi soundcard upgrade).

I'll turn it off and see if that restores the sound.

Vers. 1.5, no sinking hydrophone sounds with stock SH4, realistic sound travel on or off.

I don't get it in 1.5 stock or with several combos of mods either.

Very odd that mav got it with 1.4 with several mods where I couldn't hear it stock 1.4 or with a similar combo of mods. Does anyone else hear this sound in 1.4 or 1.5? Specifically do you hear the sound of the ship breaking up on the hydrophone?

Doesn't seem like a soundcard thing, my soundcard is built into the mobo and MONOLOITH has an actual souncard :hmm:

Hmm, I just verified, I didn't hear it when she was sinking, but I definately heard it when she hit the bottom (400+ meters), and kept hearing it afterwards constantly (mixed with P25_#Dust_underwater_hyd.wav).

Unmodded 1.5, mission Torpedo Attack lesson

Just checked - I'm not hearing it either - SH4-1.4 with RFB 1.4 RC1, ROW Sound Effects(9a, 1/9/08), Audigy 2ZS. Been so long since I actually played the game and sank anything I can't remember what I was running the last time I heard this sound. Would be nice to get it back though.

I just played around with the sound.sdl in the Silent 3ditor.

I expanded the range of the vapor_hyd to 2000 meters, to make sure I could hear it from torpedo launch distance; and no fix.

I also played around with changing it from a 3d sound or not.

No change.

The hardcoded trigger to play the wave file isn't working for some reason.

This is something that definately needs a fix.

[tedhealy]

Yeah, I tried setting it at 5,000, 10,000, and 20,000 and did similar changes to the min radius too. I also tried setting it identically to sounds that are heard on the hydrohpone. And my last test was to change the wav file to the non hydrophone version and other sounds which can be heard on the free cam when close to the ship. Nada.

Hmm, maybe I'll try to sink a ship and then get as close as possible, under 200 yards, and see if it can be heard on the hydrophone then.

Use NSM to slow down the sinking, to give yourself the time to get close.

I have a feeling you still won't hear it though. I think something's broke in the hardcoded trigger; and the Sound.sdl can only effect the audio parameters, not the actual trigger.

Really strange.

I'd really love for M_mearean or Dan to take a look at this one.

Egads PH you're using a really old version of RFB for 1.4 THere was a lot of sound work done by LukeFF for the latest 1.4 version. You should go to the RFB thread and give it a try. You won't need the ROW sound effect file you have any more either, as they're all in the last 1.4 release along with even more sounds.
