Bump. Does anyone have a working link to download this mod? Or has it already been incorporated into the latest Trigger Maru?

Thanks.

Go play with the bungo pete single mission. Im quite sure ole pete would be more then happy to provide you with a few DC's so you can hear what it sounds like.

...and don't forget to bring along some Xanax for that "anxiety" that 'ol Pete can instill...

My current patrol has me assigned to the Philippine Sea and the convoys have started using escorts - mid-'42. I'll get my share of DC's soon enough.

On my last patrol I had two destroyers looking for me, but I never heard them use active sonar. I went to test depth as soon as I fired my three fish at a freighter and ordered silent running. I was passed over twice, but they never pinged me or dropped any cans. They stayed in the area for a few hours before moving on.

I really love the idea of this mod, but as it involves changes to sh.sdl I'm afraid it's off limits. I use WilhelmTell's Sound Distance Boost, which modifies the same file. Keep it up though, I hope you'll be able to tackle all this missing sounds mess eventionally.

I will try to release a compatible version for you and (who else)? Give me a little bit of time, ok?

Not sure if anyone realises this, but sh.sdl can be edited with v0.5.x !

Otherwise, consider this a non-post...

What is contained in that file? Is that the main game "engine"?

skwasjer · 01-10-08, 08:51 AM

No, it contains sound definitions, linking a 'name' to a sound-file and allowing you to set some playback properties. The 'name' can then be referenced from the other game files. For instance when a gun is fired, this file tells the game which file to play, with what volume, etc...

M. Sarsfield · 01-10-08, 08:58 AM

That's cool. So, now maybe we can fix the depth charge warning sound?

eatmafish · 01-19-08, 03:59 PM

well I noticed the depth charge warning sound is actually a message issued by the sonarman so I found the sound file within the data/sound/speech folder instead of the sound root folder where the sh.sdl is located. Does that mean the depth charge sound is controlled by the message_so.cfg under data/cfg/ ? if so, how does the SoM_K_*, SoM_P_*, SoM_S_* files differ (do they mean at different depth locations? whats K,P,S anyways?

) and how do you make it happen? thanks!

They are played at three panic states of the crew. IIRC. Normal, Depthcharged /pinged, damaged.

I am so glad someone figured out how to get those missing sounds to play! It was a big pest to me not hearing the steam and pipes breaking telling to take action!

I hex edited that file quite a bit, I never knew the findings of those sound controllers. Good job Skwasjer you got them to work!

Oh I see thanks.

But I still not hearing any voice message when gets pinged. I can hear the DC drop water splash sound but no crew warning voice? Is it just me?

No, you're not alone. I get the DC splash sound, but no voice too.
