Merchant Sirens and Fire.......

[Hawk U-375]

Well I got it to work twice tonight..... ....but not all the time..........Both times the Siren worked...it was Critical Hit.....I think Dowly is right....if the "Oil is Hit" you get the sound.....
I'm still messing around with the Sound useing Timetraveller's Mini Tweaker....(Thanks Reece) for pointing me in the right Direction....
The 2 times it worked it Sounded GREAT!


The other times....... well not so good.... Still working on it....if anyone wants to help please pm me and I'll send you the File....

There's a fire and a siren sound?

Edit: Ok normal sirens. I thought there was a special one too when a ship was hit.

[Hawk U-375]

There is a "Ship Fire 1"...in the Sounds.....What I did was blend a ships Siren into it..... ...I'd hope that when the Sound clip activated you'd hear both....:hmm: ...It's tricky....

[Hawk U-375]

Ok I think I got it!!!!!!!!! I had to abandon the Siren /Fire....sound clip...because it didn't work as often as I had hoped..... :?
Sooo I went a New Route.....I took the: P11_@ref_torp_great_explosion
and added the Siren onto it...this way...I didn't have to mess with the SH3 sdl. file.... :? 8) .......

Sooooooo When that Eel hits a Merchant...you will hear a loud explosion...then the Siren goes off....... 8) ....I have it extend for 28 seconds....If a second eel hits.....they sound like they are in Stereo....
I need Testers......Sooooooo Who will help me out.....
Great thing about this is....the farther away from teh Ship the more muffled it will be...as too distance..... :wink:

Back up all files!!!!!!!!!!! (In case you don't like)

FEED BACK!!!!!!! I need it...sooo help http://rapidshare.de/files/33871984/P11__ref_torp_great_explosion.wav.html

I put a new one in......

[John Pancoast]

Any idea if a siren was even routinely used in this type of scenario ?

Anyway, nice sound, but maybe add a delay before it starts, after the torpedo hit.

Siren comes on the nanosecond the torpedo hits, which seems a bit to quick.

[SeaWolf IV]

I played with the file and made the siren delay for a few seconds after the torp hit.

The only problem Ive found is if you hit a ship with several torps quickly the alarm can get duplicated and sound a tad off. If there were some way of making this wav only play during the first torp hit on a ship I think it would be perfect.

Nice overall idea!

ok ..i'm going to run it now .i use the sound delay from avg joe ...will this alter that too?..guess i'll find out ..

[Hawk U-375]

Excellent idea about the Delay!!!!! ..... As far as limiting the sound to the First Hit.....I don't think it can be altered...:hmm: ....If any seasoned "Sound Men " know please chime in....

I would think that a "General Quaters/Alarm" would be sounded apon a Fire/Torp Hit..... If any Merchant Seamen could verify.......

I wanted to make this wav so as to make the Merchant seem "Alive".... That people were running to Damaged control stations...Will continue to look into...thje delays/effects:hmm:

[Hawk U-375]

I was thinking.....:hmm: ....What if we trail off the sound at the end...
Sooo say one the first Trop. hits....it gets lower and lower..then Bam the second one hits...and it's loud...then lower and lower....:hmm:

At work right now will Test tonight.

Shame you can't attach a sound to the spotlight that comes on from the ships when your detected at night!

I remember in David Irving's book on PQ-17 that in one instance a U-Boat commnder missed with his torpedo but knew that its wake hadn't been spotted because he didn't hear the ship's alarm go off. Based on this I'd imagine that merchants used alarms just like warships.

Thanks for the info.
