    How to use:
    • Bind your keys:
      Install the mod and open your game, go to settings -> controls -> vehicle and bind every key that you want to use

      It's enabled as soon as the lightbar is on and default game's siren is off
      In order to enable chase mode you can either use the default lightbar key from the game or use the Chase Mode key from the mod
    • Use the UI apps
      Control app
      To use the control app, simply add it on the UI and press the buttons to use the functions
      Sounds selector app
      Simply add the app on the UI and select the sound you want for the vehicle you are in.
      Pressing the save button will remember the preset for the selected vehicle
    ​
    |------------------------------------------------ Questions -----------------------------------------------|

    Important: All presets are made inside the sirenmod.zip file for more versatility, but this comes at a cost any mod update will remove your presets, so make sure to save them somewhere!

    Video tutorial:     (Pause the video if it's going too fast)


    Text tutorial:
    First step open the sirenmod.zip file and go to presets, duplicate the .Default.json file and rename it to the name of your preset. For example: My Custom Preset.json

    Then, open the file you just create and modify the path of the sounds.
    Sounds are located in     sirenmod.zip/art/sound/

    So let's say you want to add duck.ogg sound, put the sound in sirenmod.zip/art/sound/mysound/duck.ogg and inside the preset json file you gonna put "sound": "mysound/duck.ogg".

    Note: wav sounds also work, I guess other sounds work but I don't have a list of compatible formats.

    BeamNG.drive volume management is not in pair with engines volumes, which means that if you put your in-game volume to 100, sirens are going to be very loud and engine not so much. But if you put your in-game volume to 5, sirens will be very quiet compared to engines.

    To fix this issue, simply set your in-game volume to 50 (or any volume that gives you a good balance between engines and sirens) and then change the game's volume using Windows Volume Mixer

    Note that this issue can't be fixed until the game's fmod engine can be modded

    You need to restart the game at least 1 time to get the mod working. (install mod / start / restart and it work)
    If you the mod was disabled and you enabled it, you have to restart the game overwise the mod won't work

    Try to clear the cache of the game.
    Sometimes problems are caused by incompatibility with other mods! So, try to uninstall all other mods except this one and then, if it turns out to be working, reinstall them 1 by 1 to find which one is causing issues.

    This is due to the type of sound that I use for the sirens
    This bug can't be fixed until the game's fmod engine can be modded

    However you can reduce the issue by increasing your sound quality in game's sounds settings

    I will fix this issue when as soon as I find a fix, for now I'm still trying to find one, sorry for the issue

    See How to use -> UI apps -> Sound Selector

    Good, just a typo: With the Whelen Epsilon, you made it say "Whelen Espilon". The correct wording is "Whelen Epsilon". Thanks and works good!

    Great mod! My suggestion is that you add a horn tap keybind, so if you're in tone 1, and tap the horn, it goes to tone 2, and tap it again, it goes to tone 1, and so on. Would be pretty cool to see that added, as it's used in many countries and departments, but other than that, great mod!

    Absolutely love the mod. The only dislike i have with it currently is it makes AI traffic stop when just the lights are on. IDK if it was beams recent update that changed it. but AI continues to move if just the lights and no siren are on as long as your sitting still

    It kind of fixes the issue with sirens in replays, but only if you save the replay while the siren is going off. Anything else will not be picked up. So if you want every sound to work you need to hold every button before saving it,

      Thanks for the report, that's very odd it might be a behavior from the game I'd need to check this

    Its a good mod and learning to make custom sounds and presets is easy but just one problem, I cant hear the siren during replays which sucks because I want to make videos of Beamng drive chases/movies but the sirens i want either dont exist or are low quality and this mod helps but because i cant hear the sounds i cant do that. If this problem were to be fixed i would be deeply appreciative!

    Love this mod. Have been using this mod for over two years now.
    Created my own siren presets to go for it in private. It is WAY better than the vanilla siren selection and controls.

    There is a HUGE PROBLEM as of recently though.
    As of the current mod version and BeamNG.Drive version 0.32.5.0:
    When using this mod: something in the code of Traffic breaks; which prevents traffic from crossing intersections that have traffic signals or stops. Traffic will idle for infinity whilst some, ignore the signals completely.

    This issue will happen on all maps, vanilla and modded.

    I have cleared cache, deep cleared cache and tested this mod alone, by it's self and even with 54 of my other mods currently in use. Same results. Once I disable this mod, refresh lua and respawn new traffic: the problem disappears.

    Please fix this issue as soon as you can. This is one of those mods on my bucketlist that I personally consider a 'must-have' to play this game.
