Sound Fixes Pack v24.11 - ATS + ETS2 - 2024APR16 ⛽

[bcote25]

Gotcha. Thanks for getting back to me

[alessio]

Thanks! This mod is amazing. I was just driving and an AI car honked to a truck on a roundabout. It was so real that I almost watched out the window!

To those subscribed to the mod on the ETS2 Steam Workshop, v17.16 update has been issued with reworked quieter sound for the rising arm barrier for the animated gates mod.

The sound is quieter because rising arm barriers don't really make much noise compared to the truck's engine.
However I made sure there's just enough feedback sound for you to hear it start and end so you know when to drive past. Credits to AlexeyP for the base sound.
The sound should be in sync with the animation. I don't know if all the animations have the exact same duration. If you find any problems let me know before the non-Steam release on Sunday.
I will also be updating the other gate sounds with slightly quieter sounds tomorrow (trialing it on Steam Workshop first) so there will be a v17.17 tomorrow as well.

@alessio - Haha, that's cool!

You, dear sir are incredible !

I've spent the past 15 hours (real time) trying to find an answer to a problem of a shocking LOUD Drone/Whine in -any- brand truck, from 40km/h on.
a) In my 1st profile all the sounds were fine & this 'new' droning sound was not audible at all. All trucks were fine, 500,000Km, no sound problems.
b) Started a new 2nd profile and got hit with this annoying drone/whine.

I knew it wasn't the turbo, I'm used to it's "whistle".
I compared all the mods & menu settings that I had in the 1st profile against the new profile 2 and even when exactly the same, the Droning ruined my fun for sure.
I even tried different engines/gearbox, even tyre brand/compounds... but with the same result... shocking droning.
I even tried making another new profile just in case profile 2 was faulty, but it also had the same problem.

THEN I FOUND YOUR Page/POST !!!

OMG.... wish I knew that developers hack over half a day ago, lol. Namely: s_wheel_noise !!
Somehow on playthru 1, "something" must have lowered it & kept it that way, where on playthru 2, it was obviously set at full "1.0"

I used your great little dev-hack & SHA-BAM !!! At "0.3" it's back to how my original Profile/playthru sounded..... wonderful !!

I haven't actually tried out the "Sound Fixes Pack", you fixed my problem for me with one command.

Thank you VERY very much mate.
Love your work

PS (Is there a dev-hack like the following? s_turbo_whistle 0.3 ?? Where 1.0 is the maximum. Now that would be handy).

Thank you for the update, the quieter barrier sound is a good idea.

@Andy_GTI - Glad you like it

[cip]

thanks a lot! I will try it today... any chance to do the same for the radar mod also of Schumi? it has also very loud and noisy warning especially outside. 50% inside and 75% outside less would be great

[Drive Safely]

@WallHugger - Unfortunately there is no developer command for turbo whistles. Great that the wheel command helped you!

@cipinho - The radar sound in Schumi's mod is connected only to the outside attached to speed cameras.
It would have to be loud enough to be heard from the interior, thus causing its high exterior sound, so no I can't fix that sound.
Only way to fix it is to get rid of the radar and watch the speed limit signs

[cip]

alright thanks! maybe Schumi will read this and he will improve the sound...
