Thanks to all!

I like very much GW, only few things that I like to test for my taste

I'm going to try what you have said.

I have made changes to my music and find that although there are many selections in each category the game isn't random in selecting the tracks, not all of them are played.

I ended up making 4 music.cfg files with different track orders and load them through JSGME to vary the music in game. I am not sure if the game restarts the files in order every time it plays a sequence ( e.g. - each time you start a high tension moment it starts from track 1) or randomly selects from the possible tracks. That could make using the game atmospheric moments as a sound effects trigger a bit tedious. However, the possibilities are there to enhance the immersionwith things other than music.:hmm:

One of the first things I did was throw out all the music, except the menu track. It's stated purpose was to make it more "cinematic", and I didn't want to star in my own movie.

My menu track is the scene from Das Boot where in which they're walking through the sub pens and boarding the boat.

as you say..thing to do here is to be subtle......coughs whispers drips...the faint tuning in of a radio..foot steps....all faintly playing in the back ground.....just atmosphere....there's no limit to the size of the file so it could be an hour long and no ill effects...and it would still change according to the in game situation (how does the game tell?..that's an interesting one) and it's not limited by the old SH2 bug bear of queing up the other normal sound effects...dynamic ambience...who could ask for more!!

Hi,

I have download and installed SH3Commander, as I am a newbie I have not even begun a carrier, so I still was trying out the academy missions. But I have found that the Clean water options do nothing at all. I have tested several clear water values, no difference, always the dark water of GW. Also I have noticed that when in time compression on the map the movement is sharky, and this is not there when I do not use SH3Commander.

I'm using the version 2.6. Do you have any idea?

Tx!
