Missing german voices problem

Find a program that will play .ogg files. I use Creative Media Source Player for just listening, but www.goldwave.com will let you do your own editing. This will let you listen to the appropriate files to figure out what's wrong, and then you can manually replace them if necessary.

I'm not sure why DBSM wouldn't replace those files, since it works fine for me. The only thing I can think of is to check each file yourself and try to fine what's going on.

Hi Sailor Steve.

The problem is not in the files, nor in DBSM, that's for sure. My first problem is that the Watch Officer doesn't say "ship spotted", never. All the files are there, I've checked that, but he doesn't speak a word. I suppose that if I can fix this problem (major for me because usually while I am travelling at tc 128 to my patrol zone I am in another room reading, or washing dishes, so I need a LOUD voice telling me there is someone in the vicinity), I will know how to fix my mute chief also. I do get the ahead 1/3, or the crash dive sound, or the surface routine...

I've re-tried and re-checked, but the problem is there ONLY in the german campaign (stock 1.5 presents the problem).

So... no one has got this problem?

Could it be an incompatibility, since I own a hard copy SH4 and a downloadable 1.5? But THIS is the only problem I got...

From that description it sounds like a problem with the trigger for those voices. Sadly I know nothing about how those work. I'm playing SH4 Gold, and have never had any problems of that nature.

Ok thx anyway.

Is there anybody who would know how to tweak the trigger Sailor Steve is refering to? I tried to locate it in the .cfg file but I am no modder, so I do not understand where, what and how I should modify...

Have you tried Webster's missing voices fix?

From Webster's readme:

Quote:

...this mod doesnt fix the real problem of the sound controller not always calling on the sounds to be played as it should.

Hang on, but forgive my utter stupidity but.....there are german voices for the U-Boat campaign??? I've only ever had American voices. How can you change them?? I've never found a setting in the game anywhere to change it
