Krellnut's US Freight Car Sounds Fix#1

[krellnut]

This will fix issues with EmpireBuilderPack01 and Horseshoe Curve. This patch is required. Will also be added to the download page as an addon.

And so the fixit fun begins.

Yes and that's because no matter how hard you try finding each and every one of these different paths is near impossible unless one had every single DLC ever made. Further the fix for the empire builder set is because two of these cars had NO sound child at all. In my opinion Wally and the rest of us involved in this have gone way above and beyond in even trying to find all these different items much less getting them to work. That little eccentricity on the HSC hopper only took about three hours of my time yesterday and three phone calls between Wally and me to get that fixed. Ken did an incredible job of compiling all of this. I'm surprised that there haven't been more issues. To track down all possible problems one would have to start every route with every piece of rolling stock to test them all.

The bottom line is that there may be more weird things that pop up. Just report them and have a little patience while we puzzle them out.

So Tom,
Without knowing if your comment is sarcastic or sincere, let me respond to both. If sarcastic; you've already admitted that you don't use sound addons, so it must be a dig. If you have nothing nice to say, maybe say nothing at all. ESPECIALLY since you won't be using the pack anyway. If sincere, Buzz couldn't have described it better. Most everyone here has no idea how much effort it will take to fix this and anything else that might show up. And that's not even mentioning how much effort it took me to get all the needed sounds to make the pack in the first place. I originally made the sounds for me, but the satisfaction of sharing something one makes, plus the feedback I get, well, it makes all the effort so worth it. Even with the fixes that will have to done!

I've given thanks since the first sound attachments you have offered a few years ago. Running RW with stock sounds is like listening to AM radio on a transistor radio. Sadly, alot of people don't know any better.

I know, and appreciate it. Your probably my biggest fan.

Ah yes, you also have been first in line to praise my work. Honestly, I'm sure there's a lot of people who are enjoying my and all the other freeware products that we produce for one and all.

I'm not sure if I've messed things up or not,,,don't think so. I decided to give this a try, so I downloaded both files and followed the instructions in the PDF's. Everything seamed to be going great during my initial testing until I tried to run a standard scenario in HSC using the EMD GP7 and that's when I did a dump. Tried a number of things like clearing cache/blueprint.pak files, re-running both installs a couple more times with no luck. I got curious so I checked the folders in Assets/RSC and noticed there's two folders for HSC, with one of them spelled different "HorshoeCurve". I also thought I'd test a Quickdrive with the default Locc's and no problem, but when I tried to build a consist with HSC default wagons they'd showup but I couldn't add them to the Loco.

So, I'm wondering if the misspelled folder has anything to do with it.

[buzz456]

I'm not sure about the misspelling but the patch for the Hopper H21 should fix the dump. That is a fix to the bin file for that asset. If that confuses you holler and I can be more specific when I get home tonight.

[krellnut]

Na, he's right. I misspelled Horseshoe Curve. I've uploaded a corrected version and asked Bob to change it out as quick as possible. I also put the corrected one on this thread. Sorry!

[DapperDan]

Thanks Walter. Wasn't sure if I was messing things up (I tend to do that a lot). I have a couple questions.

1) Do I just delete the misspelled folder and the run the latest patch, or do I have to do something else?

2) If I use the "Defective wheel & volume change kit" and lets say set the frequency at 50 and the volume at 3, and decide I want to change it to something else, can I just run the setup program associated with the change I want to make?

3) If for some reason (and I don't think that'll happen) I want to go back to the default (yuk!) sounds, do I just run your "Default Track Joint Fix" to make the change back?

First time I've tried your sounds and I'm already kicking myself for not trying them earlier.
