[REQ] Verification Of Manned Stations... Attention RFB Team

Fish40 · 03-09-09, 02:35 PM

I propose this request to the RFB team since this is the mod I use, and I'm a stickler for realism. Would it be possible to add a "Battle stations manned and ready" after the Battle Stations sequence is played? Seems it would be cool to get a confirmation of stations manned from your crew. Just a thought

The audio file for General Quarters is limited to 15 seconds in length. Given that the alarm is designed to run for 15 seconds (seems to be the historical standard; I've not seen GQ alarm sounds longer or shorter), we can't add in anything more than what we have at the moment. That, and the icon on the screen that pops up when the boat is at General Quarters is just about all we can have. The rest is all hard-coded, sadly.

Thanks for the response Luke. Yea, I figured as much. After submitting the post yesterday, it hit me about the time constraints of the sound clips. Oh well.

No problem. BTW, if you want to see where we got the GQ alarm for RFB, check out this page:

We use the Ling's alarm sound for RFB.
