Panzer Leader Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 Well, I just took the plunge and downloaded all of Scipio's sound mods (and the mp3 converter) off his new web-site. They are stunning! Wow, the SMG fire and MG fire is riveting. The German voices are VERY accurate. I haven't heard all the sounds yet, but I am impressed with your accuracy and quality. Good work and thanks alot.

Pzman Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 Yes they are very good. A must have. The tank guns sound more real then the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 Going to d/l the updates. Loved the previous sound mod attempts he's made. My favorite is a tossup between the MG42 and big calibre gun (i.e. 150mm Inf.Gun) sound effects. Zooming up behind one of those big guns and watching/hearing them fire is quite satisfying.

Panzer Leader Posted June 24, 2001 Author Share Posted June 24, 2001 Oh man I just heard some heavy artillery SCREAMING down, and it was stunning! God, I never heard it like that before. I thought it was a Stuka dive bombing me it was so intense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YECoyote Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 It's darn good. There is a distinct difference between light and heavy MG. A hearty "tank you" to you, Scipio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 Well, being a dumb lawyer, I can't figure out how to convert the MP3 files to .wav files with his converter. How do you do it? Or could someone just post them as wav files and help the techno handicapped like me? I really want to try them, so would appreciate any help. Thanks, Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Johnson-- Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 nor can i, the decoder, if I'm even using it properly, does not show itself making any progress when I'm trying to convert from MP3 too Wav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted June 24, 2001 Author Share Posted June 24, 2001 You have to fiddle with the preferences, picking out some random stuff. I know nothing about decoding, so I just picked the first one shown on all the drop downs and it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YECoyote Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 it's over 16 megs when decoded to Wav format and zipped up. I think it's better if I show you how to use it. I always believe "it is better to teach a man to fish, than giving him the fish" saying. 1. launch the MP3 encoder 2. click on the tab that says "Decode MP3 2 Wav" 3. There are 3 bottom windows. use the left most to go to where store Scipio's sounds. 4. After you have double-click to the folder, the middle window should be populated with all the MP3 files. Select them all. 5. click on the ">>" arrow to move the files into the right most window. 6. Click "Decode" 7. you're done. now to find out where your wav files are stored to. If you haven't touched the "Configure" tab, then the default place will be your "C:\" (the root directory on your C: drive). 8. copy the wave files to the wav folder in your CMBO directory. Hope this helps. Happy wargaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 Hi pals, thanx for your good critics. I'm very happy that you like my sounds . Please excuse the difficulties with the MP3-tool, I have forgotten to put the HowTo file in the zip (it's included now). For all who have already downloaded here's the text: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> After downloading and installing the mp3-tool start the tool and select 'Configure'. On the right side, you can set the decoder settings. Choose outputformat 'wav'. Select the output directory. You can choose the path to the wav subfolder in your CM-folder if you want. In this case you must check also 'always overwrite'. You can also choose any other directory you want, of course. Then unzip the downloaded files and select in the mp3decoder Decode (MP3 2 wav). On the left you must specify the path to folder with the unzipped mp3 files. In the middel you should see then a list of filenames like this "00000200.wav" Mark all files you want to decode, click on '>>' and then on 'decode'. The decoding will take a moment, you should see a status message while decoding. If you haven't choosen the CM-wav subfolder as output directory, you must now manually copy the files into it. You must overwrite the existing files. Don't panic, you have the original sounds saved on you CM-CD. Start CM Enjoy! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> [ 06-24-2001: Message edited by: Scipio ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterNZer Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 don't forget to go to the configure-tab and choose: decoder priority : highest and output format: wav if you don't do this, nothing happens. regards, Lindan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Well, it sounds like I better go get these kickass sounds. If they are half as good as everybody is saying they should be a big improvement in the game - sound wise. And thank you Lindan & YECoyte as well as Scipio himself for the "How To" advise. Without these I wouldn't have even tryed but I'll give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Ok I don't know beans about downloading, decoding or computers period but after getting the "How To'S" from Scipio, Lindan and YECoyote I figured , hell I can follow instructions so tryed downloading the decoder which I did and it's in my "download" folder on my desktop, but when I tryed unzipping it I got the following message. "Could not open the .zip file (C:Windows\Desktop\Downloads\Mpegsuite.zip) So I am lost. Any body know how a dumb ass can do or go from here? or should I just forget it - (Too hard to do.)

aka_tom_w Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 OK sorry to ask but I'm on a Mac and I "should" know how to deal with this BUT, how do I make those mp3 sound files into mac system sounds that I can import with the MAC CM mod manager? THere must be a way to batch process all those mp3's so I can import them with the MAC CM mod manager. Are there any other mac users out there that have done this? I have had no problem with other .bmp image mods but the sounds are a little trickier on the Mac Thanks -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lassner.1 Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 I just finished installing those sound mods and I have to say that thay are simply outstanding. They are as big an auditory change as Magua's Normandy mod is a visual one. Get them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capitalistdoginchina Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 I have downloaded the MP3 convertor twice - once at home and once at the office, but i get a winzip error message : "Cannot open file, it does not appear to be a valid archive" All the other zipped files open and extract fine. Any clues? CDIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capitalistdoginchina Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Some more info - whan it starts downloading it shows the file size as about 750 kb or something like that, but after one minute or so the download complete box comes up but the file size is shown as 57.6 KB......me thinks i am not getting the whole package. Anyone care to e-mail it to me? Cheers in advance. CDIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfpack Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 If you go to download.com, there is a much easier to use decoder there called "DBPowerAmp" I got that one and used it. For the PC, once it's installed, all you have to do after you unzip the files is right click on them and select "Convert" Then you specify what you want them converted to and where you want the converted files to go. Much easier in my opinion. [ 06-25-2001: Message edited by: Wolfpack ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacheldraht Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Don't forget the Mad Dog Mod Pack sound files, either. To my ears, they sound very rich and distinctive, particularly with surround sound and a good subwoofer. You can really feel the heavy guns firing, and the German MG's sound very much like those in Saving Private Ryan--i.e., frighteningly real.
