Battlestations sound mod

[Rongel]

Tired of hearing just clicks when the crew should be yelling alarm? Felt asleep during your last depth charge run? Well this is your mod then! The point of this modification is to make the fighting more exciting and dramatic, it shouldn't be just mathematics! Battlestations SM edits sounds, adds new ones and creates dramatically more intense soundscapes during the fights and repairs. The mod is suggested to be used with some bigger sound mod in the background. Now with Stormy's DBSM 1.2 support (see the bottom of the page). Note: Battlestations Sound Mod 1.1 is partially integrated to Stormflys DBSM 1.3.

v.1.1 Battlestations Sound Mod by Rongel (german version)

version 1.1

-Created completely new random ambient/repair sounds that start when the sub is visually damaged (steam, water, sparks).
-Includes Rongel's and Stormfly's "Wasserbomben!" sound fix (version 1.1).
-Added more variations to depth charge sounds. Now there is three different DC sounds inside and two outside that shuffle randomly.
-Changed the sound of the airplane gun watersplash effect.
-Added background sound effects to several damage reports.
-Added ambient sounds to "Warning started" and "Warning expires" states.
-Tweaked the whole thing.

version 1.02

-Added background sound effects to several damage reports.
-Added sub damaged-sounds that were missing in the stock game.
-Added 3 different and more intense audio clips to "Man the deck gun!" -shortcut key.
-Added 3 different and more intense audio clips to "Man the flak gun!" -shortcut key.
-Added 3 different and more intense audio clips to "Fire at will!" -shortcut key.

version 1.01

-Added "Battlestations" text to log when enabling or disabling Battlestations.
-Fixed silent running sounds: now when enabling or disabling silent running by F8 you will hear the right stock enabled/disabled speeches.Removed custom sounds from silent running.

version 1.0

-Changed the HUD_ability_started.wav to alerted ambient sounds.
-Changed the HUD_ability_expired.wav to relaxed ambient sounds.
-Made new sounds to default shortcut keys F5-F8 (man the deck gun, man the flak gun, battlestations, silent running):
-3 different versions of F7 Battlestations-sound (depending crews state: normal, tension, whisper)
-2 different versions of F5 and F6 Man the guns-sounds (depending crews state: normal, tension)
-1 version of the F8 silent running sound
-Made 3 different and intense "Airplane spotted!" sounds.

Known bugs:

-There is no on/off sounds for Battlestations-command due to restraints of the game (and my modding ability).
The same audio will repeat even if the ability is disabled. Please ask Executive Officer to disable battle stations manually!
-Some sounds may not appear in game because the different key mappings that people use!

Install:

This mod needs to change Baza_FX_Sounds.dsd, Sounds_FX.dsd and Sh.sdl in order to work. It's compatible with FX_Update ByTheDarkWraith and the Magnum Opus which changes sh.sdl too. I suggest you take a backup of these files before installing. You can find the files in SH5/data/sounds/ and SH5/data/library/. All other sounds will install automatically with JSGME but the "Battle Stations!" audio needs to be added manually:

1. Go to your currently activated commands.cfg -file (default location SH5/data/cfg/commands.cfg) and take a backup copy of it.
2. Open commands.cfg with notepad and go to the bottom of the page.
3. Find [Cmd576]. Now add the following sound data under ability_3. This is what it should look like:

[Cmd576]
Name=Ability_3
Contexts=1
Key0=0x76,,"F7"
Sound_0=ELO_Helm,MC_CR_SO_01_A,6275

4. Done! Save the file and Install the mod with JSGME.

Credits and Thanks:

Sounds that are used in this mod are mostly from SH5 game files and Dasboot-movie but some parts of some sounds are from the winkelmander's Dasboot Sound Mod 1.5. Special thanks to Stormfly for fixing the "Wasserbomben" sound fix!

JSGME ready. Install first Battlestations 1.1 and apply this patch over it. Compatability means here that it uses Stormy's Sh.sdl file as a base and doesn't change his sound settings. It will overwrite some sounds. This patch includes Stormy's version of the "Wasserbomben" sound fix.
