Sound Replacement

[BrandonH]

Can someone help me replace sounds in the game, unfortunately i tried replacing them myself using instructions but the game still used the Default Sounds, I have the retail version of Railworks 2 that i bought years ago and but the core upgrades as Steam Released them, unfortunately i've been away from railworks so long i dont remember how to replace anything

What sounds are you trying to replace?

[BrandonH]

Coupling sounds, freight car truck sounds, and locomotive sounds.

Which sound pack(s) are you trying to install?

[buzz456]

Try this one. It comes with a installer and great instructions. There is a very good tutorial in the same sound section on replacing horns also.

Thank You! Ill give it a try and see what i can come up with! Do you know where i can get some coupler sound effects with an auto installer or SD40-2 sounds?

[buzz456]

Coupler sounds are included in the Krellnut sound package. as far as SD40-2 I recommend you take a look at Oovee Game Studios sound pack. It's the best out there. As of this morning their web sight is down with a problem but the thing is very inexpensive and a great addition. Worth waiting for IMHO.

I got the Freight Car sound pack installed, and all i can say is WOW!

I found some SD40-2 Sounds on here, i like them Alot! My money is going toward addons right now rather than sounds. Are there any horn replacements for the DEAFULT ES44AC not the Sherman Hill ES44? Every horn replacement ive found is for the Sherman Hill ES44 and i dont know anything about modifying the horn proxy files, i tried, but it screws up the horn, or even reprogramming the proxy for the default 44AC. Im looking for a K5HL UP and BNSF and one fit for the CN ES44DC.

Id also like to find some Wheeling & Lake Erie schemes for the Default SD40-2 (UP model), if there are any avalible.

The trick to editing proxy files is this:
- you need BOTH the proxyxml and the .proxybin files, and they must have the same content.
- open and edit the .proxyxml file in your favorite editor. Before saving, make sure the encoding is ASCII, not Unicode. In a pinch, Notepad will do, but NotePad++ is better.
- then you can convert the .proxyxml file to .proxybin using serz.exe, OR
- open and edit the .proxybin file using RW-Tools, which will take care of the conversion.

So my own workflow is this:
1- Double-click on the .proxyxml file, which opens it in NotePad++. Make changes. Save the file (Ctrl-S). Select and copy all text (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C). Close Notepad++.
2- Double-click on the .proxybin file, which opens it in RW-Tools. Select and paste all text (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-V). Save the file (Ctrl-S). Close RW-Tools.

ill let you know how this goes! i tried using the K5HL that Nathan D. did but it didnt work out like i planned the horn was a choppy and not sounding the way it should be
