I would like to try and modify the "I4" audio sample in an external editor (such as Ableton) in order to create a new engine sound, then use it as a separate sample within the game for the car I am working on. Is this possible to do? and if so how?
In which case is there any information on how the sample(s) are formatted? and/or how to add them into game once you do have them formatted appropriately?
Yes, sfxBlend2d.json file in /art/sound/blends contains information about all the sound files you would like to use for your custom engine sound. And yes, the first array contains sounds for off-load engine sounds - the second one for on-load engine sounds. The _P is just one of the naming conventions of the files. Code: { "header" : { "version" : 1 }, "eventName" : "event:>Engine>default", "samples" : [ [ ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/859.flac", 859], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/919.flac", 919], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/984.flac", 984], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1052.flac", 1052], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1126.flac", 1126], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1205.flac", 1205], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1289.flac", 1289], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1380.flac", 1380], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1476.flac", 1476], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1579.flac", 1579], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1690.flac", 1690], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1808.flac", 1808], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1935.flac", 1935], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2070.flac", 2070], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2215.flac", 2215], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2370.flac", 2370], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2536.flac", 2536], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2714.flac", 2714], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2904.flac", 2904], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/3107.flac", 3107], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/3324.flac", 3324], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/3557.flac", 3557], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/3806.flac", 3806], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/4073.flac", 4073], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/4358.flac", 4358], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/4663.flac", 4663], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/4989.flac", 4989], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/5338.flac", 5338], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/5712.flac", 5712], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/6112.flac", 6112], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/6540.flac", 6540] ], [ ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/859_P.flac", 859], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/919_P.flac", 919], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/984_P.flac", 984], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1052_P.flac", 1052], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1126_P.flac", 1126], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1205_P.flac", 1205], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1289_P.flac", 1289], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1380_P.flac", 1380], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1476_P.flac", 1476], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1579_P.flac", 1579], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1690_P.flac", 1690], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1808_P.flac", 1808], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/1935_P.flac", 1935], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2070_P.flac", 2070], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2215_P.flac", 2215], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2370_P.flac", 2370], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2536_P.flac", 2536], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2714_P.flac", 2714], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/2904_P.flac", 2904], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/3107_P.flac", 3107], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/3324_P.flac", 3324], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/3557_P.flac", 3557], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/3806_P.flac", 3806], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/4073_P.flac", 4073], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/4358_P.flac", 4358], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/4663_P.flac", 4663], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/4989_P.flac", 4989], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/5338_P.flac", 5338], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/5712_P.flac", 5712], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/6112_P.flac", 6112], ["art/sound/engine/V8_2/6540_P.flac", 6540] ] ] } Edit: ogg files do work as well of course
Also the pre-tag of the json file is corresponding to the sampleName of the soundConfig in the engine jbeam. So... Code: "soundConfig": { "sampleName": "I4_aljowen", "mainGain": -18, "maxLoadMix": 0.6, "minLoadMix": 0, "onLoadGain":1, "offLoadGain":0.65, "eqLowGain": -5, "eqLowFreq": 150, //"eqLowWidth": 0, "eqHighGain": -5, "eqHighFreq": 6000, //"eqHighWidth": 0, "lowCutFreq":90, //"eqFundamentalGain": -15, }, ---> \art\sound\blends\I4_aljowen.sfxBlend2D.json Edit: Sound wiki
