@LanFeng - If it's only following when looping you may have overcomplicated how the sound event is started.

My advice is to make a copy of the FMOD project and then redo it from the beginning step by step to see where the problem started happening when testing in the game. Because in theory it should always follow the truck when routed to truck_effects.

@Mechanic_Wolf - In terms of sound paths for the def files, instead of linking directly to .ogg files we use .soundref files now.

@KrysEmlyn - Sounds have now been added for the Baldwin-Westinghouse Steeple Cab in Mason City, Iowa

how could I use some sound like the nostalgia air horn for the legacy one?

[Drive Safely]

@Mechanic_Wolf - Good horn choice. If you just want to replace the Legacy air horn sound to use the nostalgia air horn sound, update the sound_path like so for /def/vehicle/addon_hookups/horn.dlc_kenworth_w900.sui:

Code: Select all

accessory_horn_hookup_data : horn_kw_le.addon_hookup
{
	name: "Legacy"
	icon: "horn_kw_le"
	price: 340
	unlock: 0

	model: "/vehicle/truck/upgrade/horn/horn_kw_le.pmd"
	sound_path: "/sound_fixes_pack/truck/air_horn/nostalgia.soundref"

	suitable_for[]: "horns"
}

Thank you for update, @Drive Safely!

Would you consider some suggestion? I have Truck Noise option set to 100% to make tire effects more prominent and enjoyable. However, the "throbbing" wind noise became too loud because of that, making driving with open windows less pleasurable.

So I was wondering if it's possible to reduce wind noise when you have both windows opened as a simulation of air flow improvement inside the cabin? Like, if we have one window fully open while another is closed, then wind noise is 100%. But if both windows are open, then noise level is down to 60%-80%, for example

Thanks for your attention! ^^

[Drive Safely]

@Avelium - I think it's possible for the next version of the mod. For now you can set the windows to be half open to reduce wind noise

Thanks for taking it into consideration, @Drive Safely, I really appreciate it! Hope this won't bother you too much, and if you feel it's not sounding good, please ignore the request. I completely trust in your taste and experience!

For now you can set the windows to be half open to reduce wind noise

Well, if Truck Noise is set to 100%, I have to keep windows shut on speed over 50mph, because even small gaps are producing quite loud and bassy noise.
I actually like the thick sound of the wind and it's turbulent throbbing in your mod, it's the most realistic version among all other sound mods that I've heard. Just wish it left a bit more room for other exterior sounds ^^

Yeah, sound balancing is probably the most hard thing because of subjectivity of human perception: no matter what you do, there always will be someone who wants to change something And there is no simple way to address it individually, like with other parts of the game. So kudos to you, sir, for all tremendous work you did and shared with us over the years! ^^

@Drive Safely So I could set this up like a mod sperate from the sound mod? So I don't have to change it every update.

[Drive Safely]

@Avelium - Thanks for the nice comment! I rarely play with windows open at that kind of speed, but I will surely see what I can do about your suggestion.

@Mechanic_Wolf - Yes. I don't change the Kenworth W900 Legacy air horn definition file, so this definition file would have to be in a separate mod anyway

[Mechanic_Wolf]

@Drive Safely Thank you for your help.
