Just out of curiosity. Do you have (some/all) sounds enabled in the game?

ps. interesting option, that last one...you need a soundcard to make SPWAW work/install in the first place..I guess you could remove the card afterwards :)

Now if you were asking what sounds might be changed,well that's another topic,(but i'd go for the "ker-blam,ker-pow" of the high velocity guns being improved on the M10 and m36,Achilles,etc)..A tired old "bam" just does not make it with anything over 75mm,(imho).....

Yeah, the background soundtrack cuts out every now and then. I don't think it ever lasts more than 1/2 turn or so. I suspect this is a legacy from the DOS conversion, but that's just me.

Too bad, hope the sounds in CL will make a better contribution. Hello multi-channel support. :)

Status: offline 		it let's me know something is actually happening. Sometimes they cut out and I don't hear the weapons' fire, just see the results -- very disappointing when that tank gun doesn't go "boom" when you fire.

Some are weird, though. In the h2h Stalingrad campaign my Motorcycle squads sound just like foot soldiers as they move. I picture all these guys running half a kilometer in two minutes while pushing their bikes along.:p

The sound I hate the most though is the sound of a [SIZE=4]mine[/SIZE] going off. HATE that sound.:D

Favorite sounds & music from SPWaW - 4/12/2003 2:58:44 AM

Status: offline 		Personally, I really like Derek Boain's main SPWaW theme, and some of the other music. As for weapon sounds, there's something about the FX for the BAR and the M1 Garand that instantly make me identify with the USMC of that era. The generic flamethrower is OK, but I found another one that I put in the SPWaW OOB mods sub-forum. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well in-game because it's something like a 2 MB file. The sound of a tank brewing up (the enemy's, not mine ) is pretty impressive, too.

Except the one Thompson sound that sounds like some kid is shaking a tin can with a couple rocks in it. :rolleyes: :(

I have even gone so far as to use Win amp and make a custom audio track that loops some of my favs just so I can get Win amp to play a seriously happening firefight "just cause its cool sounding".

Makes a great add on to playing board games hehe.

Status: offline 		Are these for a "Deathmatch:Iditarod"? Dog teams? What OOB uses that? Are these the infamous "mine dogs" that were allegedly used by the Russians? That would be somewhat disconcerting: "Here, boy--" I guess in today's wars they would be called "martyr hounds".

I love the music also, but tend to turn it on for a while and then back off again. As the man said the same tunes over and over can wear thin after a while so I found that using the on for a while off for a while works good for me. :)
Sarge - why can I have no problem seeing you making a custom sound track to play though winamp! I have to laugh because I have bantered around the idea myself many times! :D
I really have to pin down the file number of that sick sounding mg one of these days and replace it with a suitable one of my liking.

Artillery barrages and music - 4/12/2003 11:43:24 AM

Status: offline 		Alright, you guys can call me strange here but if you set artillery sounds "on", and you set the delay at 50, the barrages make their own music. It's not quite the 1812 Overture, but on a battleship prep in a USMC amphib assault mission, it is a bizarre symphony of death all its own. You just have to hear it at that delay to get that peculiar rhythm of crashes and bass--it's quite exhiliarating, and it's very Wagnerian.

I bet it´s the one from soviet DP Degtyarev light MG! :eek: :D I replaced the sounds with the ones that are used for the tank version DP machine gun, like T-34 or KV, ect.

Status: offline 		Anyone remember the thread from about 7 months ago, where someone brought up the topic of Elephants, and it evolved into what would an alt-o (overrun) with Elephants sound like? I know I made up a sound file for that and posted it (I thought it was hilarious) but now I can't find it in my wav files. Anyone have a copy?

Ah! The joys of:

a) Being single

b) Having my own place

c) Having my sound card outputted to my 400w stereo system

When my troops set off a mine at 3am cats four blocks away jump. :)
