You all won't hear any sounds until you change the boxes's zones to point to the new baza FX effects that SH5 provides. This is where I said verify the boxes's zones to the \data\Zones.cfg file

Yes I just tested too, no fire sounds from imported ships... Didn't get secondary explosion this time, but I bet no sound from it either. Impact sounds and sinking sounds work fine. Hmm... Could it come from the .fx files in stock? For example HogIsland has HogIsland_FX.GR2 and HogIsland_FX.dsd. Too bad I don't understand these files...

Also noticed one thing, SteelViking added sound to the bow wave (which was a nice little detail ) , so we should add sound to stern wake also (Ship.Cargo.ShipwakeSternFast/Slow). Stock SH 5 ships have this also.

EDIT:

Thanks for the tip! Too bad I don't really understand how it's done, and what exactly needs to be done... SteelViking?

Select the root node of the ship in Goblin Editor. Right click on it and select 'Show Damage'. You'll see it draw boxes on the screen on the ship. Each box has an associated zone number in \data\Zones.cfg. That zone number determines that zone's hitpoints, armor level, effects to be played based on damage taken, and flooding model. My FX_Update mod changed many of the ships (almost all if not all the merchants) zones to point to some new zones for a different flooding/damage model.

Okay, just got around to looking into this zone verifying/no sound business in depth. So, TDW what you are saying is that we should change the values of the damage zones(boxes) themselves to point to a value in the zone.cfg that SH5 is supposed to use. I am asking for confirmation because the values in right now for the SHIV ships is a valid entry in the zone.cfg, I am guessing it is just wrong for SH5.

Here are some of the buoys added to the campaign.
This is looking back at Bergen harbour.



And further out.



Out through Bergens deep water sound.
