Hello all

Does anyone know if you can sound mod the Ju87 dive siren?

I found a line in a cfg type file that when you alter it, it increases the tone/pitch of the siren....but it still sounds crap, i wanna change it completely and add a proper sound file.


I found an excellent sound bite for it but have know idea on how to add it. Is this possible for a beginner or should i hand it over too the experienced modders.

If it isn't possible for a beginner will someone help me out?

Thanx

You need to create the prs file and place it to 'files/presets/sounds' and the sample to the 'samples' folder.

Then add 2 lines to filelist.txt:

samples/diving_17_81a.wav
presets/sounds/aircraft.common.prs

didnt tested it but theoretically it should work because I looked at all the other presets and found nothing better...

[bigpickle]

thats great thanx ever so much, gonna try it out.

I cant seem to find the default prs file you spoke about anywhere in IL folder.


If I create a Prs called "aircraft.common.prs" and add the sound etc, Am I correct in thinking that it will play when ever an aircraft dives, as it is named "common", if so, how do i make it Ju 87 specific?

Hopefully all will be clear when i try it out though

Thanx

[Vpmedia]

it was just a quick guess, for more detail I'd ask Wasy about this...

[bigpickle]

ok, i did all of above, ie

1) made aircraft.common.prs using your quoted text.

2)added the wav file and named it "diving_17_81a.wav"

3) Added the text "samples/diving_17_81a.wav"
"presets/sounds/aircraft.common.prs" to the filelist.txt doc.

4) When i tested the game i got no dive siren at all from the Ju87.

Thank you loads for helping though, i'll send a Pm to wasey and see if he can help.

imho this means its working but something wrong with the sample

May be format of sample is wrong - need PCM 16bit mono or stereo (mono is better)

P.S. For changing standart sample don't need adding presets......

[bigpickle]

got it working thanx for the help, sad to say it sounds terrible though.

because the game engine slows the wav down and speeds it too a certain pitch during the dive you cannot really create the type of sound you actually want with out it being changed.

To anyone who wants to try it out, my advice is the Dive siren is a LOST CAUSE.


thanx to all who helped me figure this one out.

[Vpmedia]

at least we tried

[bigpickle]

well yeah we did :lol:

[Stuka]

maybe shelve idea, but plz do not forget maybe new ideas will come in future
