Engine sounds in tm2 models

[kapsubm]

I tried different engine sound with the tm2 models, but none of them seems to work ...
is it not possible any longer to include custom engine sounds ?


The Names if i am correct, should be

EningeFast
EningeIdle
EningeMid
EningeRev
EningeRev2
EningeLow

and format should be wav or og normally.

Anyone allready tried this ?

The names are much much different now. Now you have a ton of files.
C:\ProgramData\ManiaPlanet\PacksCache\TMCanyon_HD.zip\Vehicles\Media\Audio\Sound\WavData\CanyonEngine

well i ll try with the

5100 , 5280, 7380, 7440 and so on files,

i guess the outside sounds are the loop_xxxx_release_engine sounds.
anyway if we can use ogg instead of wav, the filesize wouldn´t get bigger.

example for no movement should be the loop_5100Rpm_release_engine

other thing is i couldnt find the reverse sounds in original. do they use the standard sound for lets say 7380 rpm ?

I just noticed that the post I once did about the skinning of sound engines is in inthe private beta forum.
So I paste it here:

To make an engine, you just throw engine loops in a folder called "Engine/", with the following naming convention:

Code: Select all

loop_{rpm}_{gas}_{perspective}.wav/ogg

with:

• {rpm} = xxxRpm
  internally the engine goes from 2500 -> 10000. The game will pick the lower and higher value from the file list, and expand to this range
• {gas} = throttle, release
  whether the loop is to be used when pressing the gas pedal or not
• {perspective} = in high quality, 3 spatialised sound sources are used: the exhaust, engine and body
  in low quality, 1 source is used: only exhaust. (But I will maybe need to change this)
  
  exhaust if mostly heard from behind
  engine from the front
  and body from inside view / or when close to the car.

You can put any number of files matching those criteria, and the game will pick up and use what fits best.
Well "any" number < 50 iirc.

To sum it up, you don't actually have to include a CRAPLOAD of loops to make an engine...
even only one can "work".

the current engine was meant to be "just a test". that's why it isn't very cleaned up (and not sounding so good actually) but well, I'm afraid it's quite likely it's going to stay that way....

Okey finally it works .. when horns in game set to defaults..
your horn put into skins zip file must have name horn.wav in wav format - mono -22050Hz- less than 5sec

engine sounds named according to scheme .. format OGG - mono - 44100Hz
works excellent

USE RATHER OGG FORMAT IT WONT RESULT IN 20MB ZIP file
