Asking for Help to Replace Horns

[derickavery]

I downloaded the NS Heritage SD70Ace Horn Pack and the UP Heritage Horns. Inside the folder, I don't see instructions on where the final destination is for the contents of what's inside the folders. What is the destination for each one of the downloads including the bell and do I have to change names of anything once I have copied and pasted the contents into the destination folder? I am also don't like the sound for the UP SD70M in the Sherman Hill Route and would like to change it. What would you recommend and the same questions as above-what is the destination folder and do I have to rename anything? Thanks so much for any help given.

There is an old tutorial here:

And you can do a search in Google as well in YouTube and will find a couple dozens tutorials.

The Bell goes in the "SD70ACe" folder and the three horn files go into the "Cab" folder. You don't need to rename anything but remember to write in proxyxml the same name of the files. (ex. ...\SD70ACe\Cab\Horn_Loop.wav</Filename> Also the same goes with the SD70MAC that comes with Sherman Hill. (there is not going to be a SD70ACe folder obviously)

Thanks for both replies. I wanted to pursue this a little further based on ET44C4's reply. Excuse me to all the rest of you, for I am detail oriented until I get this down. Using the SD70ACe Heritage as an example, the path I followed is, correct me if I am wrong:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\SD70UPHeritage\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD70ACe (inside this folder I see a Cab folder and a number of other things including the SD70.proxyxml)

Okay the contents of my HP Heritage Horns Folder downloaded from RWA has a Heritage Bells Folder, K5LLA Folder and UP1982,UP1983,UP1988,UP1989,UP1995 and UP1996 Folders.

Based on ET44C4's reply, I want to copy what's in the Heritage Bell Folder (K5LLA_End, K5LLA_Loop and K5LLA_Start) and paste it into the SD70ACe Folder in the path mentioned above, correct? The three files inside each respective Heritage Number Folder is to be copied and pasted into the Cab folder from path mentioned above, correct? If both of the following steps are correct, I still have the contents of what's in the K5LLA Folder. Where does it go?

The last question, I did not understand the proxyxml instruction.

Thanks so much for helping me to try and understand what I am doing here.

I'm going to make a video showing you all the steps to install the horn on the UPHP add-on. Do you want me show you how to make individual horns for each heritage unit? (1995 would have the "1995" horn and 1989 would its own horn, etc.)

Edit: I will show you how to install multiple horns for each unit. I think some of the K5LLA horns don't sound good so I will use the horns from the "K5LLA" folder. (For the ones that don't sound good) That means I will use the K5LLA horn from the folder "K5LLA" for the Katy and 1996. I will also use the Mechanical bell for each repaint and hopefully by watching my video you will know how to change it to an E-bell.

That sounds good to me. Thanks for all of your help.

That sounds good to me. Thanks for all of your help.

No problem! It feels good to help people.

I may need to make the video tomorrow, but I do have a "game plan" for it.

[ET44C4]

I can do the video this week. I just need the time to do it.

After watching several video's I was finally able to replace the horns for the UP Heritage Pack. I did the following:

I like the horn inside the UP 1995 folder (UP Heritage Horns downloaded here at Railworks America). I copied the three things inside that folder (UP_1995_Horn_End, UP_1995_Horn_Loop and UP_1995_Horn_Start) and pasted it to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\SD70UPHeritage\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD70ACe\Cab (inside the Cab folder I used Wordpad to open the SD70 Horn PROXYXML. Locate and change the following lines to read:


<Filename d:type="cDeltaString">RSC\SD70UPHeritage\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD70ACe\Cab\UP_1995_Horn_Loop.wav</Filename>

<Filename d:type="cDeltaString">RSC\SD70UPHeritage\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD70ACe\Cab\UP_1995_Horn_End.wav</Filename>

<Filename d:type="cDeltaString">RSC\SD70UPHeritage\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD70ACe\Cab\UP_1995_Horn_Start.wav</Filename>

Save

Go listen to your new horn. As always, back up that cab folder before making any changes so that if something were to go wrong doing experimenting, you can put the original back until you find out what you are doing wrong.
