Dangerous Waters sound effect mod. I’ve edited and replaced sound files within DW. Your P3 will sound like it has turbines, and your MH-60 will have a bit more beef. Even those old whales from 688I days got a make over. Now when you get hit by a weapon you will know about it. A Kilo on batteries no longer makes the subwoofer walk across the floor, and a patrol boat no longer sounds twice as loud as an FFG, and the fishing boat no longer sounds three times louder than the Nimitz. you get some new missile sounds as well.

(still haven’t worked out how to make the 50 cal sound like it could be a 50 cal, rather than someone knocking at the door)

Enjoy!

Download sfx.agg (36 meg) and place it within the folder:

…\Dangerous Waters\Audio\Sfx

That’s all there is to it. Of course make sure you backup your original file.

Mirror sites for this file are welcome.

Great, have to try it out.
I can see you continue in your great tradition of sound mods for sims.

Finiteless could you also package just the new SFX file so people with SC Sound Editor can just import them directly in to the existing sfx.agg files?

[finiteless]

Yep, I can do that TLAM (still 14 meg though).

Very cool, finiteless!

One facet which I believe could benefit greatly from mods is certainly the 3D ambient, 2D SFX, and 2D BB sounds... We had trouble finding any alternative samples from the ones we acquired for SC (higher quality samples especially) but there is no doubt in my mind that they are out there or can be created.

Who is going to take on the Ambient Sound mod for DW? Peter Wilster's mod was very good and with the addition of "context sensitive music" in DW I thought the Ambient sound could do some really interesting things (more intense radio chatter when "under attack", etc). Also, we support a separate Music directory for EACH controllable platform in the game by country code and hull number, so the MH-60 could have it's own ambient sound, P-3 could, etc... If someone takes on this project, I would be happy to assist them in it... Where is Peter when you need him?

Great job! I'm sure Boomer will be very happy to see the excellent mod community is working on the sounds... and a happy Boomer makes a happy Jamie... always!

Yes, good sounds finiteless. And as you say Jamie, even more can be done here.

Thanks gents, glad you like them, I'm open to new sound suggestions and constructive user critiques of the result.

I'm quite interested in what you said Jamie, an unobtrusive ambience with that music would definitely help for those long involved slow missions (which I prefer), SCS have put a handy little sound extension architecture in place for DW - sweet!

Ok... downloaded the file. I think that I am missing pieces to it. Should it be executable or do I simply replace my current AGG file with it?

[Bill Nichols]

If you downloaded the full sfx.agg file, then simply backup your original and replace it with the new one.
