[REL] "Wasserbomben!" sound fix

[Rongel]

Wasserbomben SoundFix by Rongel & Stormfly

This mod adds the "Wasserbomben!" audio report when depth charges are dropped into the water. This critical feature was missing in the stock game and all other sound mods that I'm aware of. There are two versions of the mod on this site:

1. Wasserbomben SoundFix basic mod
There are two different soundclips shuffling the audio and a third clip which is silent. This means that you get a report only about 66 % of the depth charges dropped. This is to add some randomness, and to reduce audio overlapping during heavy depth charging. The sounds are from stock game. 1.1 version contains Stormys fix and a fix for missing airplane gun watersplash sound from 1.0.

2. Stormflys updated version to users WITH Stormys Das Boot sound mod
Attention ! With the current version, we have not only "Wasserbomben!" callouts, now we have 50 shuffeling "fitting" sounds. Additional to the 3 stock "Wasserbomben!" we have now additional 47 DBSM soundclips shuffling the audio. This means that you get a "Deptcharge in the water" report very rare, at current only 8 samples report that depth charges are dropped. This is to add some randomness, and to reduce same samples overlapping during heavy depth charging or deptcharging far away. We think it's more realistic too, and adds much more to immersion now than before.

Install:

These mods need to change Baza_FX_Sounds.dsd and Sh.sdl in order to work. Both are compatible with FX_Update_0_0_11_ByTheDarkWraith which changes sh.sdl. I suggest you take a backup of these files before installing.

Locations:

SH5/data/sounds/sh.sdl
SH5/data/Library/Baza_FX_Sounds.dsd

Install the fix with JSGME. It's okay to overwrite Sh.sdl should FX_Update_0_0_11_ByTheDarkWraith already alter it.

NOTE: Wasserbomben sound mod is also included in Stormflys DBSM. So if you are using it, this mod is obsolete.

Question and feedback are welcome!

Bombs away!

Other stuff: I hope that this small fix mod finds it's way to some larger mod so that we can forger this problem forever. You have my permission to use this in your mods but credits would be nice! I'll be adding this fix soon to the new version of my own Battlestations Sound mod which improves battle sounds greatly. This is version 1.0 and there may be some issues! Feedback is welcome, especially if you have technical hints!

Heya,

Cheers

Hi again mate,

If i play Wasserbomben3 located in Wasserbomben_SoundFix_1.0\Data\Sound i can not hear nothing (it is not sound). It is Ok that?

And the last question (correct me if i am wrong please):

- when a DD start to drop charges in the water i will hear ,,Wasserbomben1 or Wasserbomben2 Wasserbomben3,, and i will know that soon the charges will explode. It is correct that?

Thanks

[stoianm]

Can i change something in your mode to have a report about 100 % of the depth charges dropped?
If i rename (outside the mod) for example Wasserbomben2 with Wasserbomben3 and paste after that inside the mode i will have then the Wasserbomben3 with a sound. That means i will have a report about 100 % of the depth charges dropped?

It is correct that mate?

Thanks

oh nice, finally!!!
Really been missing this in SH5. Excellent and thanks

Yes, Wasserbomben3 is a silent sound. It's the reason why only 2/3 depth charges are reported. If you put sound to Wasserbomben3 (copy and rename Wasserbomben2 to Wasserbomben3) all charges are reported.

when a DD start to drop charges in the water i will hear ,,Wasserbomben1 or Wasserbomben2 Wasserbomben3,, and i will know that soon the charges will explode. It is correct that?

The "Wasserbomben" sound is connected to the sound of depth charge hitting the ocean surface, so when there is a depth charge splash, there is "Wasserbomben". There is a shuffle mode that randomly picks one of the three sounds. If there is a heavy depth charging going on, all those reports are a bit annoying (and unrealistic, soundman couldn't hear much with all the noise) and that's why only 2/3.

But does it work for you? I'm a bit nervous fiddling with the .sdl and dsd.files.... I think it should work well with the Megamod too but can't confirm that, cause I'm not using it myself.

I just tried enabling it with the mega mod but there is a conflict with "sh.sdl". I have no idea if anything get's screwed up if i overwrite but i guess it will.

Btw, i took the liberty to ask TDW if he could add this to the mega mod. Hope i didn't step on your toes here

Hi mate,

I tested. A DD started to drop charges in water and i heard few times:,,Wasserbomben,, After few seconds i heard the explosion of dept charges. No CTD - all is ok. So in my opinion it is working. Congratulation again for this mod mate!

Ahoy!!

Do I need to mess with any files or do I just load the Wasserbomben mods. Is the first version stand alone mod for stock 1.2 or do I need other mods. (are Stormy's and Stormfly's DBSM one and the same??)
Thankyou to all modders. Where would we be without. . . .

I have tried all combinations of ways with these mods and I get no conflicts with the other mods, but no Wasserbomben!! (should I have conflicts??)

What is your current activated mod list? It will show why the sound isn't playing.

The first version is indeed for the patched stock game, the other is compatible with Stormy's DBSM (Stormy and Stormfly are the same person, at least I hope so ). The latter version is outdated, but if you are using his sound mod, the wasserbomben is included in it anyway, so you don't need it.

And by the way, if you are using Stormfly's mod, there are many random "silent" wasserbomben sounds. So your sonarman doesn't hear/report them all.

Thanks Rongel, Iwas bieng too impatient. !80 meters down near the eastern entrance to the Straights of G, two destroyers in persute, i got a Wassenbomben!! then sunken!! Thanks for reply. . . .and the good work.

i replaced this wasserbomben sounds with about 50 different sound`s, sometimes but rare you hear "wasserbomben" or a variation of it but mostly you get different sounds or crew babeling whitch will fit into the situation. I did that to get some of the immersive but missing sounds from SH3 back, which will also rise the challenge a bit together with variation.
