Hello all...Justin Cornell's GP38-2 sound help?

[SteelRoad]

For which? The batch file or you mod?

The file to direct the RSC SD40-2 Widenose/Highnose/Burlington Northern/etc to use the standard Kuju SD40-2 sounds. Is it the ClassSD40Horn.proxyxml file in the SD40 sub directory 'Cab' folder? or is it a file in the main SD40 folder? and which line to edit in the file to direct it to the Kuju sounds. I'm only asking because I have awesome horn sounds for all the SD40s in the Kuju directory but can't figure out how to transfer them to the RSC download SD40s (Wn, Hn, Bn, Sf, Cn)

[Chacal]

Here is my script for the SD40-2 sounds.
It just copies the 3 proxyxml files from the Kuju engine to the others
Just edit the path to railworks, then save this as a text file with the name SD40.BAT.
Duuble-click this file to run it.

Code: Select all

REM Script for aliasing all SD40 sounds to the Kuju SD40-2
REM by Chacal
REM Run this after each local cache verification
REM Edit the next line to fit with your own installation

SET rw=C:\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks
SET packs=SD40WnPack01 SD40BnPack01 SD40CnPack01 SD40HnPack01 SD40SfPack01
SET src=%rw%\Assets\Kuju\RailSimulatorUS\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40

REM For each add-on pack, copy 3 proxy files with correct naming
FOR %%i IN (%packs%) DO (
COPY /Y %src%\"Class SD40.proxyxml" %rw%\Assets\RSC\%%i\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40\SD40.proxyxml
COPY /Y %src%\Cab\"Class SD40 Cab.proxyxml" %rw%\Assets\RSC\%%i\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40\Cab\"SD40 Cab.proxyxml"
COPY /Y %src%\Cab\"Class SD40 Horn.proxyxml" %rw%\Assets\RSC\%%i\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40\Cab\"SD40 Horn.proxyxml"
)
REM Now repeat for Donner Pass because files are named differently
COPY /Y %src%\"Class SD40.proxyxml" %rw%\Assets\RSC\DonnerPass\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40
COPY /Y %src%\Cab\"Class SD40 Cab.proxyxml" %rw%\Assets\RSC\DonnerPass\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40\Cab
COPY /Y %src%\Cab\"Class SD40 Horn.proxyxml" %rw%\Assets\RSC\DonnerPass\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40\Cab

REM Also for the GTrax Pan-Am SD40
COPY /Y %src%\"Class SD40.proxyxml" %rw%\Assets\G-TraX\PortlandTerminal\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40\SD40.proxyxml
COPY /Y %src%\Cab\"Class SD40 Cab.proxyxml" %rw%\Assets\G-TraX\PortlandTerminal\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40\Cab\"SD40 Cab.proxyxml"
COPY /Y %src%\Cab\"Class SD40 Horn.proxyxml" %rw%\Assets\G-TraX\PortlandTerminal\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40\Cab\"SD40 Horn.proxyxml"


[SteelRoad]

awesome! thank you so much. I'm assuming thats for Doc's little program?

[PapaXpress]

Yes it is.

[Chacal]

It is stand-alone and bears no relation to Doc's script.
I think if you use Doc's script and follow Doc's instructions, you won't need my script.

[PapaXpress]

It looked so similar.

My idea in medium level is start to include commands like of Chacal's (is awesome), and many others. For those who know how to add into my batch, go ahead: is just "select all" code above and then paste into my batch. But if you follow the guidelines of my instructions there is no need of commands, once the batch itself do all the work.

@Papa, in my personal batch (I mean that I use), which I sent to you, there are those Chacal's commands (with the credit), and other commands also (deleting radio chats, *.bak files etc.) this is why is familiar to you. But here on Forum I released a single version, only with very basic commands to not confuse new users.

Cheers,
Doc.

Great news! I finally figured out the missing piece to get the GP38-2 sounds to work properly. After reading the Rail Simulator Developer Documents again. I figured out that I needed to fix the simulation bin file. Since my base sounds are coming from the SD40. I also figured out a way to use the SD40 sounds in 16_645E_R folder this way I can replace the dav files to my own Non-turbo GP38-2 sounds without effecting my SD40 sounds. I had to change all the paths in the sound bin file so they can be used with my GP38-2's. With that going good so far I can now upload a newer GP38-2 sound package soon. When I do this you'll have to have the new simulation file in order for it to work 100%. I gotta test a few more things, do some more editing and than the sound part will be finished. Below are a few pics of the SBD GP38-2's so far. I have no idea how I can move the horn to the top center of the cab yet. I did download some NS high hoods. I noticed they are on the top nose of the loco. Plus it has a 5-chime which would look perfect on these SBD's. But in the NS textures I have not been able to see the horn in any of the photos. For some reason I can't find the side cab air vents in the texture files at all. I want to delete them somehow. I've tried many times to move the nose lights down more but it don't work. Must be a file somewhere that tells things where to go that I have to learn how to edit. If anyone has any advice on this let me know. I saw that people have a CSX yellow nose 2 GP38-2. But I have not been able to find it anywhere. Does anybody have one they could share? Thanks to everybody for the help!

Here are the pics.

great looking pics!

I give up on trying to get my RSC WideNose to use Kuju modded SD40 sounds. I've got every single .xml and blueprint file pointing towards Kuju\RailsimulatorUS and Kuju\RailsimulatorUS\Audio\Railvehicles\Diesel\SD40 and nothing is working

Kuju modded SD40 sounds? do you mean those awesome by simer4?

Just run the batch file above from Chacal, and nothing else. But you need to have simer4 engine sound previously installed. Widenose's folder is SD40WnPack01. \Kuju\RailsimulatorUS is not used, anytime.

yes, the ones by simer4. You sure Kuju\RailsimulatorUS isn't used as the path for anything? The regular SD40 sounds work great (horn, engine, bell, all that). But I can't for the life of me figure out the RSC SD40s. I thought all I had to do was edit one single SD40WnPack01 blueprint to direct it to the Kuju\RaimsimulatorUS\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40\Class SD40.proxyxml as Chacal said on the first page. At first when all I did was edit the Horn xml files I was getting a weird horn sounds like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3jCLyXq ... e=youtu.be

but now that I've been trying to use ALL the simer4 SD40 sound mods I now have a completely silent Widenose

I ran the batch file Chacal posted as well and it didn't change any sounds on the Widenose.

[Machinist]

Only Kuju\RailsimulatorUS, no.

One thing that you may be missing: did you changed this line
SET rw="D:\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks"

to match to your RW installation path, say (usually the default path)
SET rw="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks"
(or whatever it is, but don't forget spaces and quotations)

and see if it works. Then we can try something else....

Doc.

[Chacal]

First, install simer4's sounds to the default Kuju SD40-2.
Then, run the script so that all RSC packs, including the wide-nose, reference sounds from the Kuju default (now with simer4's sounds ).

[SteelRoad]

Upon closer examination of Chacal's script, I think I found my error.

"SET rw=C:\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks"

I changed it to D drive thinking it was correct...
"SET rw=D:\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks"

and it SHOULD be (forgot to add Program Files x86 since Steam is installed on a slave HD and not the same one Windows is on)
"SET rw=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks"

I will try this fix when I get home. You guys have been more than helpful and very patient with this new guy :)
