Thread: Old Player coming back | Forums

  1. #1
    Its been a while, I have plaed all the Silent Hunter series.

    Being a previous "Bubble Head" in the US Navy, it brings back alot of the old memories and excitement of my time I served.

    I have been lurking for a while but there are a few things that I cannot find for answers. They may seem noobie but I dont know where else to look:

    1. How do you operate the Gramaphone? No music or anything comes out.

    There are alot of great info here and the community seems top notch.

    Im downloading the GWX mod, cant wait to give it a shot.

    Maybe someday Ill reach the 100k club.

    Maybe this will be of some assistance: community manual

    You have to put some mp3 or wav files in the gramophone folder and then you order your radio man to play them.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

    from the community manual: Q. What should I know about the Gramophone?

    SH3 lets you add custom music to its gramophone folder. OGG audio files are supported. SH3's developers informed UbiSoft support that playing MP3s is not recommended, after many SH3 players reported the gramophone stopping to play MP3 tracks after about 20 seconds. You'll find some ready-made custom gramophone audio packs on SubSim's file downloads page (http://www.subsim.com/subsim_files/patches.html). The gramophone folder is located at: \SilentHunterIII\data\Sound\Gramophone.

    If you're runniing SH3 version 1.2 or below and you have shut off SH3's in-game music, the gramophone won't work. This problem has been rectified in SH3 version 1.3 and above<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

    Ack!

    I did the patch update and a few mods and now im crashing right to desktop.

    Some of the mods I did, after the patch upload are:

    -Smoke: for better stack smoke and damage
    -Hollywood mod
    -SH3 Work mod for more ships in harbor
    -Hull skin
    -Gramaphone sounds
    -Sonar mod

    Should I put these before or after the patch or are they no good? I followed directions as I should per each file.

    I got the files here:

    (http://www.subsim.com/subsim_files/patches.html).

    Since I made so many changes, do I have to uninstall the game and reinstall?

    OK since we are asking questions about the gramaphone let me thhrow one out there.

    Does the gramaphone make it easier to detect your boat as it would be in RL or is it purely background music for you and has no effect on DDs ability to detect you.

    I figured it out. I wanted to raise the resolution of the game w/ a mod file (.dll) file but I guess it was corrupt.
