Warlords 1 .sjh sound files as notification sound? 8 years, 1 month ago #1475
Hello all,
yes, I'm still alive - and sorely missing the old Warlords days! My 2 1/2 y.o. daughter, plus a son expected in July leave / will leave me no time for gaming. A bit of a drawback, admittedly... Therefore I wanted to use some Warlords sound files as notification sounds on my mobile. No problem for DLR, but I wanted to go back to Warlords 1 days and downloaded it from some abandonware site to extract the sound files. Gosh, the whole game is just over half a megabyte, zipped! Anyway, I found the files, but the file extension is ".sjh", I can't play them with any player, nor could I find any info on the web about playing or converting this file format. Anyone here able to help or able to somehow record the sounds in-game and post them here - I would be really grateful! Take care and keep dreaming of Warlords V... LOL PS: attaching a .zip of the files just in case |

Darwin,
Great to see your still around. Sorry to hear you don't have time even for PBEM games Warlords I, at least the PC version only used the crappy PC speaker to create crude sound affects (the Amiga version which I had used actual 16 bit sound files that were orders of magnitude better). So those .sjh files are likely special instructions manipulating the PC speaker which is why you can't find any programs that work with it. If you want the sounds, why not just run the game (I assume you are doing that in Dosbox) and use your phone to record the sound affects. Or you can use this link where a guy recorded video of him playing the Amiga version (with the better sounds). Just record the sounds with your phone that you are interested in (there are a few more in the series if you open the link in a new tab). KGB |

Hullo Tim,
You're still around, excellent! I like the sound of the words "PBEM game"! Let's set up a mirror game or two different ones if you're up for it? What kind of settings / maps are en vogue these days? (If there still is any DLR "vogue" nowadays. I can start playing on the 24th / 25th (will be at home recuperating from surgery), but we'd best set everything up before the 17th while I still have access to my army sets. I could also try to get DLR to run on my Win10 tablet, but not sure how well the interface will work without a mouse. Could take a trackball, though... As for the sounds, I did want the crappy old ones to conjure up memories, don't think I ever played (or heard) the Amiga version. I'll try to record them via Dosbox then, thanks for the lead! Let me know about the PBEM (dig up my e-mail address?) |

Darwin,
K4/SH is still the de-facto army setup for PBEM. Unless you are using scenario maps that come with their own custom armies/heroes. You probably have everything already but if you don't it's in the downloads section as you well know. I'll get back to you via email after the weekend about game settings (scenario vs random maps) so you can think about what you want between now and then. KGB |

KGB,
I seem to have deleted all PBEM-related e-mails to clear up space. Hence was unable to dig up your e-mail address so far. So you go ahead and "bring it on"... Just found my old DLR folder zipped on my HD, so we should be all set regarding heroes / units unless there have been any updates. |

Hey KGB,
I'm still interested in a revival. Let me know if you want to give PBEM another shot. Cheers Phil |

Phil,
Sorry for the late reply. I just got back from spending a week with my daughter. Is your email address still valid from last time I used it? Nothing has been updated on the heroes/units front in a few years so your old folder should be fine. KGB |

No problem at all. Gave me some time to think about my strategy.
The @web.de address is still current. Cheers! Phil |
