This is new patch? I'm confused
So, with this patch I have different folders for US and German voices ?
Can I play US and German campaign with proper voices ?

Too many questions, sorry, I'm tired today, too much work

Nie zapoznany , łączyć. JA sam jak dotąd nie ďđîáűâŕë , oprócz za możliwe praca w zespole tutaj około wynikający.

Не знаю, товарищь. Я сам пока не пробывал, но потом возможно сообщю сюда о результатах.

Sorry, but these are not all the stock German language files from SH3 (e.g., "torpedo in the water" is still in english), and some of them have been modded from the original (such as the "new message received" one).

Now, with that said, does anyone have the complete set of stock, original, unaltered set of German voice files from SH3?

Just bought the addon CD, but not installed it yet. What an oversight to use US voices, as if using several voicepacks in a sim is new ground. IL2 has had different speechpacks for the various nations for years! Hope that if/when an IJN/RN/RNethN addon appears, they will include Japanese/British/Dutch speechpacks, or at the very least the possibility to add a community-made speechpack where required.
Downloading Spax's speechpack now............... will use this with JSGME.

[GerritJ9]

On second thought, I will copy the GWX 2.0 speechpack.......................

Thanks is very good! But all is translated not :hmm:

Tested three German speechpacks using JSGME: The Spax pack, the original UBI SH4 pack and the GWX 2.0 speechpack. While all three are great improvements, none is fault-free. I get "Torpedo in the water" and "Torpedo impact" rather than "Aal inst im Wasser" and "Torpedotreffer" for instance.
The GWX 2.0 speechpack is the best bet in my opinion as it has "ALAAAAAARM!", alarm bells etc. when crashdiving.

I deleted the original SH4 speech folder and replaced it with the spaxs speech folder (which is simply the SH3 speech folder) and then added the GWX2 speech to it.

Next I deleted:
Submarine_GQ_secure_battle_stations_INT.wav
Submarine_passing_thermal_layer_INT.wav
Submarine_relieve_watch_INT.wav
from the main sound folder
(C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Sound)

Result= no more American voices at all in your U-boat campaign
downside is that the voices are German in your US campaign aswell, but since the add-on I only play U-boat so that's fine by me

A thought just occurred to me: what if I put both US and GWX 2.0 speechpacks into JSGME with an empty speech folder in the "Sound" folder (though this might not even be necessary), and use JSGME to switch as required??????????
Will test and post results if any.

Yep, that'll work for sure

[GerritJ9]

Not quite.......... the US "Torpedo in the water" and "Torpedo impact" have disappeared but replaced by total silence. Will try again with the German SH4 speechpack- the GWX pack is apparently not completely compatible with SH4.

I 've found what's wong with the sounds in "Spaxs Speech Fix". It seems that the torpedo announcements in a US Submarine are performed by a different officer than in German U-boat. That means that the names of the german files are not the same with names of the English ones and so the sounds like "Torpedo Impact" "Firing Tube One" allthough there are in the speech pack are not working. I am in the proccess of making a small fix that hopefully will do the trick.
Nevertheless I am frustrated that the german voices weren't included in the add-on. And I am pretty sure that that's happened because the whole thing would be more than one cd....which means additional costs for Ubi ...

- Edit - Does anyone know if the german install of SH4 have the complete set of voices in german? It would be much easier to take the sounds from there....but I don't want to uninstall-reinstall just to see that the sounds are not completely ok in the german install as well

Hello, today I try, install sh4 stock in German and then I install patch "silent hunter the 4 german voices" and I copy the folder speech, later on I remove of new the game and I still install it in English with the addon in order then to replace the saved folder speech

Well I managed to make the following sounds (which didn't work with "Spax's patch" )work in German:
Torpedo in the water
Torpedo Impact
Torpedo is a dud
Torpedo Missed Sir
Firing Tube 1.....to Tube 6.
I suspect that more sounds will be revealed to be in English but those are very common..
Just enable this little mod on top of "Spax's" and it should work.

If you don't want to take any chances that in the middle of a battle you will hear an out of place English voice you should delete ".../Silent Hunter 4/Data/Sound/Speech" folder (backup first) and then install those two mods. Off course if a sound was in English, this way you should not hear it at all.

Is there any chance to only change the voices to german for the german boats only.
I would like to keep the english boats with english voices
