What sound mod should I use?

Shrike37 · 06-06-09, 12:17 PM

I have just purchased SH3! Unfortunately, when I get home, my slow internet will not be able to download any more big files, so I wanted to get all the mods downloaded now while I have fast internet. I have already download these mods:

GWX3.0
SH3Cmdr32
GWX3_SH3Cdr3.2Files_v1.2

The only thing I am really concerned about now is getting a good sound mod (or does GWX3.0 already have a good sound mod). Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I think you'll be happy with the sound mod already included in GWX.

Welcome aboard Shrike37

If you want to get the full effect,switch the voices to German and text to your native language,that way you will here alot more speech included, IF you feel the need for more in the way of sound then there are alternatives, There is Thomsen's sound mod,Reece's sound mod,and SailorSteve's 'DasBoot' sound mod.
All of them mentioned are fine additions and offer much more immersion to the sound experience

SailorSteve's link http://www.bts-mods.com/?page=sh3user=sailorsteve

Thomsens link http://www.bts-mods.com/?page=sh3user=philipthomsen

I'm afraid the link for Reece's Filefront page doesn't contain the sound mod,maybe someone else will have a link that contains it

If I could recommend one other D/L,it would be Torpedo damage final,It makes your strikes and gun hits look so much better than stock

Does this sound mods add more sound and voices to what is already in gwx3gold or they exclude gwx sounds and add their own ?

nikbear · 06-06-09, 03:58 PM

They add a whole lot more if you have German voices enabled in the options list,as well as ambient sounds inside the sub,and different sounds for gun fire and explosions and stuff like that,they are very comprehensive and cover the whole aspects of sound in the game,hence there large D/L size

Its got to be the "Das Boot" sound mod and German voices in the game Option menu and then some German Gramaphone tracks for that authentic feel!

The GWX sounds are excellent. As already stated, you have to put the audio language in German to get all the sound effects. Many (myself included) consider the German to be more immersive anyway, and since the text still comes up in English at the bottom of the screen it's not a problem.

G'Day Shrike37,

Not to blow wind up my own arse but I have made several individual sounds. My pride and joy is my "Internal U-boat Sound Effect" all sounds are at BTS website.

Check my Drive Through as well as there are other sounds, wind, hydrophones, underwater, gramophone music (with needle scratches and static).

I have to say Thomsen sounds make GWX even greater, found lots of good details on it

by the way, anyone can recommend a good Hydrophone mod, I'm currently checking BtS hopefully something good will come up, but if someone has a link please post it
