Adding a bell to a custom horn

I used one of eyein12's custom horns on my GP15, but now the bell doesn't work. I couldn't find any reference to a bell in the horn.bin file or the main .bin file for the locomotive. I tried putting the bell.dav from one of the GP38 horns in the folder for the custom horn, but that didn't work. How can I put a bell on this thing?

Never mind, I figured it out. If anybody else is wondering, you need to edit the HornControl.proxyxml file.

You don't need to convert them to .dav. Just use your .wav files.
Then edit the HornControl.proxyxml with a text editor and replace existing sound file names with yours.
