W00T!! Looking forward to this, RJ. So what exactly did you modify with this pack? I seem to remember you saying something about the sounds of sailing, but I'm not exactly sure.

Cap'n Drow
 
Right on RJ, glad to see someone taking on the sound issues of AoP! Looking forward to see what you tweaked or added.

By the way, how is your sound stability? I have found that tweaking the sound_alias causes missing sounds to play but after awhile eventually cut out again, sometimes leading to a Ctd.
 
She be rigged and ready ta sail on the PA FTP site lads! William reckons once he takes a gander at it he should be inclined ta post it fer me on the website fer those what don't have the knowhow fer FTPin. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" />

What I gots fer ye be a reworkin of the ini files pointin ta better sounds that were included in the game but not used. Also I included a number o' categories what point ta things what were missin an all, such as the sounds of a ship at sea when yer in the captains cabin an such. I also touched up a number o' sounds ta be more to me own likin from other piratey games we all know an tolerate, I hopes ye agres with me selection. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

The biggest change, an what started meself on this here path be the sounds o' sailin! I added a number o' new sound profiles in sound_alieses.ini an made reference in sound_scheme.ini so they be heard when the crosshair blinks out, I still be lookin fer the source o' that wee problem so's I made do fer now. What ye gots is the sound of ol briney an a few other details what be heard aboard ship. Now there still be some problems what lies with program files an how sounds be called when a'playin, an that be beyond meself at the moment. Most times when ye first launch from harbour, ye kin only hear sounds listed in sound_scheme.ini, an sometimes the sounds of wind and sea be silent when too many things be happenin like Cap'n Bligh pointed out. I still be lookin fer the source o' that as well. I be thinkin it be a limitin on the number o' sounds what can be heard from scheme mayhap, listed in some file I ain't yet been privy to. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />

I would be much obliged if ye lads have a go at 'er and let me know what problems ye can find, and haves yerselves a peek about fer that problem with sound goin dead with the crosshair... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Hmmm... Somethings odd here <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

This is from my WinRAR error file:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->! C:\***\AOP\AOP New Sounds.rar: CRC failed in resource\Sounds\Voice\English\soldier_arest_1.wav. The file is corrupt
! C:\***\AOP\AOP New Sounds.rar: Unexpected end of archive<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
What can I do to fix this, I have tried to download the file at a different directory and a new name.

Am I the only one?

Yes I got the same problem

I like the extra sound effects that were added to the guns, port cannons loaded, the new boarding sounds <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" />
and the officer salary sounds are quite funny. I know they were orginally for merchants but it sounds so good comming from the officers, "captain...so good to see you, and your money" lol
 
WoW RJ after only a few mins it was almost like playing a new game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Well done mate, /salute!

Love the sailing ambient, really sounds like being at sea now with the sluice of the waves against the bow.
One thing I would like to see added would be perhaps different or alternate gunfire sounds corresponding of course to shot weight. Not really needed, but if you have access to any other files of this type I'd love to try em out <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Hmm, not sure what be the problem with the crc error, I repacked the officer file and reloaded the rar. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />
Let me know if that helped...

I be glad ye likes me work lads, much obliged to ye fer yer kind words <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> I be intendin ta have a look about an see what files hold reference to the sounds of shot, it might be I can offer what ye suggest there Cap'n Bligh. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

Enjoy! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />

There is actually a realistic cannon and pistols sound mod for PotC, done by Jack Rackham. He's already given us permission to use his mods in AOP. So iffi'n ye wants to check it out, its in the +Added to Build 13 directory on the PotC FTP.

Cap'n Drow
 
Awesome news guys, thankyou both. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
I had me a listen ta them cannon sounds from POTC. Can't says I likes em better'n the stock sounds, but I have em packed up if ye wants em. Also I fixed up some fightin sounds while I were at it, pistols in particular sound much better.

Thanks fer yer heads up Cap'n Drow <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

RJ

P.S. Grab the Update in me Treasure chest. I put them new sounds there also if'n ye wants ta try em.
 
Perfect, RJ!

Thanx. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Can anyone tell me how I can get a Red jack's main sound pack?

I have no idea about pa ftp.
Please help <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_praise.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="icon_praise.gif" />
 
Hmmm... and even if you know how to use FTP, I can't find this sound pack on there anyway. What happened to it? I would like to procure it as well! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" />
