Sound officer a saboteur?

Dignan · 04-10-11, 05:48 PM

That's strange. My sonar man always seems to call out sound contacts to me. Now following them when asked...that's a different story.

Frin63 · 04-11-11, 01:11 AM

That's funny, so many different behaviours in the same game...

My sound officer (allmost) never seems to mention a sound contact by himself, I have to ear it myself or ask him for it. But when I ask him he usually keeps tracking it and calling bearings OK. I also have patch 1 (and several mods) installed.

jwilliams · 04-11-11, 02:24 AM

I used to complain alot about my sound guy. Often called him a useless deaf ******.
But then Sober released this mod :-

sobers realistic hydrophone operator SH5

And my sound guy started to be able to hear!!! Follow targets etc.

And then recently TDW gave us the info to Hex edit the .exe which ment that the sound guys works perfectly for me know.

I'm not sure if I still need sobers mod, but I still use it.

Oh and Welcome to Subsim Frin63.

Frin63 · 04-11-11, 04:05 AM

Thanks for that info Jwilliams! I will certainly try it out and put the execution of the sound guy on hold...

sirbum69 · 04-11-11, 05:45 AM

see J, i have that hex edit, and have had it sence it first put it out and yet my sound guy doesnt tell me anything....ill hit the button to tell me nearest sound contact and bam it shows in the message box, but sound guy never said anything.

Do you use any sound mods???
Sound mods could change the way crew report things.

I usually dive to 20 - 25 meters to do a hydro check. And if there are contacts, my sound guy starts reporting once I pass 12 meters.

I would like to recant this comment. You are right, the soundman doesn't usually call out contacts unless asked to follow them. Sometimes, when I've asked him to follow a contact, I notice he then also calls out new ones. Makes no sense.

LoL yeh. Honestly im starting to wonder if it doesnt have to do with the SH5.exe patch...I mean i love the fact that it shows subs now but not sure its worth it if i have to manully ask all the time....Think im gonna set it back they way it was and see what happens

JohnnyBlaze · 01-26-12, 10:08 PM

Hi sorry to bring up an old threat, but I'm having the same problem.

Wondering if anyone found a fix for this?

After searching the forum and checking out many threats with no luck.

I have missed alot of contacts, just because the prat wont call out new contacts. I'm starting to think that he wont call contacts that are already in hydrophone range when I submerge, but sometimes he calls out NEW contacts that enter the range after I've submerged... make sense?
Could be just random behavior.

I have installed the 360 scanning hydrophone that cost 2000 renown.

I have patched my sh5.exe with TDW's program.

Here's my mod soup just in case there's something wrong with it.
