You create your own mod, load it above this pack, and it needs to only have two files:
in C:\users\%%USER_NAME%%\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\mod\%%MY_MOD_NAME%%

Code: Select all

/manifest.sii
/sound/navigation/english_reefer-sfp.sii

Then activate in Mod Manager.
And have a look in the "game.log" for potential issues.

manifest.sii: can even be omitted, or for more details, see the sample manifest: https://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Docume ... od_manager
(you won't need a description file or an icon)

@al_batros, thanks. Last question where to put in the mod manager, I put here, is it ok ?

Yes, this looks good to me!
The "Reefer Test" needs to be "above" the "Sound fixes Pack" - as you have configured it.
(Because you are overriding a file in the "Sound fixes pack" - and the Game has a "top down view" and only sees the topmost version of any file.)
You should be able to verify your changes in the "Helga" Dropdown

Just out of style or "cosmetic" considerations, I would put the "Reefer trailer sound addon" above the "Sound fixes pack", even when the addon doesn't override anything in the sound fixes pack.
From my point of view the "Sound fixes pack" is the "base layer", and then you add "Reefer trailer sound addon" and "Reefer test" on top of it to either extend or override some functionality from the base layer(s).

So "my style" order would be:
- Reefer Test
- Reefer trailer sound addon
- Sound fixes pack

Ok thanks it works, good job.

For 1.50, the Sound Fixes Pack went through an overhaul of how it handles the reefer sound:

- Reefer sound will take up more area of the trailer now, with a better 3D sound position in the trailer.
- The trailer sound slider will now control all aspects of the reefer sound in the Audio Settings.
- Open window noise being enabled in the Audio Settings is no longer mandatory for the reefer sound loop to work.
- Better disposal handling of the sound event.

It should also be possible to configure owned reefer trailers with the reefer startup sound effect now. Perhaps some unannounced fix by SCS Software finally allowed for this.

I've updated the guide so that the information is valid for 1.50.
I also managed to add reefer startup sound effects for the following owned trailers in my reefer sound addon for ETS2: Schwarzmüller Refrigerated Trailer, Krone Cool Liner Trailer.

In case the mod that you want to add reefer sounds to has its file locked - don't worry, because you can still use the owned trailer workaround through the voice navigation option.

For interested modders, a new section has been added to the guide: Startup sound variations (only for Euro Truck Simulator 2)

It is valid for Sound Fixes Pack v24.30 and newer

For interested modders (ETS2 only for now), I've added a startup sound variation: Carrier Vector Refrigeration Unit. The guide has been updated with the details.

It is valid for Sound Fixes Pack v24.46.1 and newer

Starting from game version 1.53, as of Sound Fixes Pack v24.52 and newer (for Euro Truck Simulator 2 only), the two reefer sound unit variations now include their own sound loops, not just startup sounds only.

Now you can have different branded reefer sounds according to your preference/trailer. This feature is only available with the Sound Fixes Pack!

(For Euro Truck Simulator 2) Starting from game version 1.59, as of Sound Fixes Pack v26.20.1 and newer, there is now a reefer unit sound variation for the Thermo King A-400 Refrigeration Unit.

The guide has been updated with the details
