FMOD Discussion [ATS]

so lads is 1.40 gunna break sound mods?

[mackintosh]

No. They work fine. I'm hearing an imbalance in stereo again with some sound packs, but that could be unrelated.

[mca0004]

Does anyone else have the problem the certain vanilla trucks (the w900 being one of them) non-air horns sound like they are coming from right next the camera in third person?

It means they are loud as all mighty. I wanted to know if this was a bug (that hasn't been fixed since the introduction of FMOD) that anyone else encounters? Or if my game is just broken for some reason (I don't use sound mods).

[Grizzly]

I put Kriechbaum's new Scania open pipe v8 into my w900 and it works fine except of course I got a retarder sound instead of a jake sound. So I used the FSB extractor and replaced the retarder wav file with a jake sound wav file from another mod and that works except the sound isn't tied to engine rpm so it's just a constant sound at any revs.

I assume to fix that I'd have to start a whole new FMOD project but I just wanted to check if I might have overlooked something.

Hello to everyone, I'm new in this forum. I'm improving some sound effects of the International 9800 from 1.36. One of them is the sound of the exhaust valve or the air of the gear, when the foot is raised before a change of gear or when it goes downhill.

I have tried the method that Harven showed earlier. In FMod it works, but not in the truck. With the Robinicus method it does work, but when the truck goes downhill, the sound of the gear sounds without knowing why, also it only works for me when I use the load condition.

Also, when viewing sound files from 1.36 and earlier versions, the gear air sound has the RPM range defined. I'm making improvements with a sound correction mod for the 1.36, specifically the International 9800 (these sounds are the same on the 1.36 and earlier Freightliner FLD).

Pd: I don't know much English, but thanks to the use of the Google Chrome translator I understand a little more.

[Robinicus]

You can set it so it only works under various conditions by RPM, load, brake etc

What would a prevent specific event trigger from playing a modded sound? I am having trouble (again) with my Prepass Mod and am at my wit's end to explain why. The sound for the green trigger plays fine, but the one for red will not. I decided to just copy the green audio file that I know works and rename it for the red event, too. I rebuilt the bank, started the game, and it still wouldn't play a sound for the red event when it's triggered, even though the exact same sound file works fine for the green event. The two soundref files are correct, too.

I am using the Fmod Bank Tools.

[Robinicus]

Check for a typo in the naming; it has to be named exactly that same as the original file and in the same format as the original if you are using the Bank Tools method.

[meatballs_21]

I checked and it all looks correct. I re-extracted all the files and compared them (and then overwrote the soundrefs) and still doesn't work.

I reformatted the audio file into the exact same format as the SCS original (even though the weigh_green sound I modded that works was not) and doesn't work.

I had a thought that the SCS original sound for the weigh_red is a very, very short beep that is looped for several seconds to get an urgent sounding alert, and therefore it is quickly looping whatever sound I put in. I edited my weigh_green sound so it would be very short and have sound during that short period before it would, in theory, loop, and that didn't work either.

Really don't know what else I can try or what's wrong. It doesn't help that testing this means making a new mod file and then rolling down a ramp under a weigh station gantry half a dozen times until it tells me to pull in for inspection.

After following some tutorials on the FMOD, I keep getting the following errors whenever I attempt to play the sound:

Code: Select all

00:02:00.024 : <ERROR> [sound] Unable to found event 'sirens/pathfinderhilo' in the bank '/sound/mod/pathfinderhilo.bank'!
00:02:00.024 : <ERROR> [sound] Failed to initialize sound '/sound/mod/sirenpack/pathfinderhilo.soundref'.

(There was no error or error code prior)

I looked at some similar errors, they were from GUIDS being generated too early. I re-generated the GUIDS, and still got the same errors.

Does anyone know if these errors indicative of anything else specific? I suspect I either did something incorrect in FMOD, or in the folder structure, which I based off an already existing airhorn pack. Probably something blatant I'm just not seeing.

Here's my soundref and GUIDS:

Code: Select all
