Poul-Sound mod problem

the game is funny like that, it doesnt always call on the same file or the same folder so it could be as simple as one or more of the other sound files (there are 9 of them) dont contain this sound file so there is nothing there to play.

there is also a sound "controller" file somewhere that is "buggy" and may not call on the sound every time.

i replaced all the missing sound files (there was a lot of them) so that all 9 folders had all the sound files but i was frustrated when the game still didnt use them all the time and never used some of them.

the "bug" is not in the sound files themselves but in that darn "controller" wherever it is.

hope that helps explain it some


would one of you please upload this file to subsim to preserve it so everyone can get it when needed.

I thought the problem lay with the "time limit" of a sound clip. If I recall, if a clip played beyond a certain number of seconds, it would not replay when called upon again.

yes there were some things that werent right with some sounds and thats a legitimate issue to be dealt with when you edit or change sounds but the bottom line is you can still have perfectly done sound files yet they dont get played by the game as they should.

so files that are made too long and too short have issues as well as the problem of being called on to be played one time but not the next time it should so you can see how dealing with sounds can give you headaches

Well, if people would just start to make use of SHMF, the mods would be safe there too.

And SHMF is not just some small site, people around the world actually find the place, as shown on these stats, and try google "silent hunter mods".

I just ask modders to please make the release posts there themselves, which of course requires a registration of membership plus that they make the mods JSGME compatible.

And modders get their own ftp folder with unlimited space, and I don't delete the mods.
