Hi How do you use custom sounds for a vehicle in beamng. I would like to make a vehicle with custom sounds. So could some one tell me how to do this.' Thanks
Take a look at the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles\hatch.zip\vehicles\hatch\sounds\ folder to get an idea of how things work . You can copy this sounds folder to your vehicle and modify it.
BASE PARAMETERS group : groups are for different engines, or input groups (none as of yet), default means it'll always be on. (you can set it per engine with the engine parameter "soundGroup":"GROUPNAME") filename : the filename of the sound. profile : the sound "mode" of sorts. For looping sounds, always use AudioDefaultLoop3D. nodeName :the name of the node this sound will latch on to. It can be ENGINE, CAMERA, or a node on the vehicle. source : The input source. The same sources as the ones used for hydros. (rpm, steering_input, etc). factor : the factor of the source. if you have this at 1.1, then the source gets multiplied by this. offset : the offset of the source, if you have this at -1, the source will be (-1 + source). minVolume : the volume of this sound MUST not go below this. It will always be this as a minimum. minPitch : the pitch of this sound MUST not go below this. It will always be this as a minumum. maxVolume : the volume of this sound MUST not go above this. It will never exceed this volume. maxPitch : the pitch of this sound MUST not go above this. It will never exceed this pitch. pitchBlendInStartValue : this determines when the pitch will start blending from minPitch to maxPitch. pitchBlendInEndValue : this value sets when the sound will be at maxPitch, and will stop increasing pitch when it reaches this value. volumeBlendInStartValue : this determines when the sound will start blending between minVolume and maxVolume. volumeBlendInEndValue : this determines when the volume will reach maxVolume, and it will stop increasing volume once it reaches this value. volumeBlendOutStartValue : this determines when the volume will start blending from maxVolume to minVolume. volumeBlendOutEndValue : this value determines when the volume will reach minVolume again. volumeModifiers : This is an array of volume "modifiers" used for the sound. pitchModifiers : This is an array of pitch "modifiers" used for the sound. MODIFIERS Modifiers are values applied to the pitch, or volumes of sounds after they get processed initially (with their offset/factor). Modifiers have this formula: Code: for each modifier pass: (value; either pitch, or volume) = (value) * (modifierOffset + (modifierSourceValue * modifierSourceFactor)) The modifier parameters are name : the name of this modifier. source : same as the source for sounds, described above. factor : same as the factor for sounds, described above. offset : same as the offset for sounds, described above. min : the modifier MUST not go below this value. max : the modifier MUST not go above this value.
You choose with volumeModifiers or pitchModifiers, as shown above. The "throttle" is a modifier, that modifies the volume based upon throttle_input.
Been messing with the new sound system and I've figured out how to set custom sounds to a specified engine, but remaining engines in the vehicle no longer use the default sound or the custom sound. I've only tried this with one vehicle, so I'm not sure if it's an error on my part or not. Know what might be causing this?
Do you mean a different sound for each engine? If so, just put a soundGroup parameter in you egnine section, then make that corresponding group in the sbeam file. Code: "engine":{ "soundGroup":"myGroup", }
How would you make sounds for reverse beeps or a non engine sounds like in this mod 8x8-Heavy-utility-truck
You could set it up like this: source : gear factor : 1 fade in start : 0 fade in end : -1 min pitch : 0 max pitch : 1 min volume : 0 max volume : 1
That'd have to be done with a stop sound. Unfortunately we have not yet a `start`and `stop`sound. That's in future plans.
I am trying to make engine sounds for engines in two different jbeams. However when i do this the sound only works in the in the first jbeam even when I change to the second. Could you tell me what I am doing wrong. thanks - - - Updated - - - How do you make a sound play for only the reverse gear?
This should make it only play for reverse - - - Updated - - - I don't quite understand what you're asking here.
What I mean is I have a v8 engine jbeam and a i4 engine .jbeam for the 200bx. One of them is the normal jbeam for the ibishu 200bx. I am trying to get custom sounds for all of the custom engine jbeam a as well as the default engine jbeam. I have put sound groups for all engines In all jbeams including the default. I also set Up the sound groups in the custom coupe_sounds.sbeam file. However only the default engine jbeam engines have sound. How would I fix this.
I am having an Issue with the a custom sound... it wont play Here is what i have done exactly... Made a sounds folder in the vehicle etc. Van/sounds added "van_sounds.sbeam" inside sounds folder Installed the ogg sounds into the Common\sounds zip.. same way the covet works. the problem that happens in the log Here is what the inside of the sbeam looks like.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- { "modifiers":[ ["name", "source", "factor", "offset", "min", "max"], ["engine_throttle", "throttle", 1, 0, 0.65, 1], ], "sounds":[ ["group", "filename", "profile", "nodeName", "source", "factor", "offset", "minVolume", "minPitch", "maxVolume", "maxPitch", "pitchBlendInStartValue", "pitchBlendInEndValue", "volumeBlendInStartValue", "volumeBlendInEndValue", "volumeBlendOutStartValue", "volumeBlendOutEndValue", "volumeModifiers", "pitchModifiers"], ["default", "vehicles/common/sounds/V8_600rpm.ogg", "AudioDefaultLoop3D", "ENGINE", "rpm", 1, 0, 0, 0, 0.8, 10.56, 0000, "MAXRPM", 0000, 0200, 500, 4000, ["engine_throttle"], [] ], ["default", "vehicles/common/sounds/V8_1100rpm.ogg", "AudioDefaultLoop3D", "ENGINE", "rpm", 1, 0, 0, 0, 0.9, 3.70, 0000, "MAXRPM", 500 , 1000, 3000, 4500, ["engine_throttle"], [] ], ["default", "vehicles/common/sounds/V8_1700rpm.ogg", "AudioDefaultLoop3D", "ENGINE", "rpm", 1, 0, 0, 0, 1.0, 1.97, 0000, "MAXRPM", 2500, 4000, 7000, 8500, ["engine_throttle"], [] ], ["default", "vehicles/common/sounds/V8_1700rpm.ogg", "AudioDefaultLoop3D", "ENGINE", "rpm", 1, 0, 0, 0, 1.2, 1.31, 0000, "MAXRPM", 5000, 7000, 8500, 19000, ["engine_throttle"], [] ], ], } And here is the Log------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 168.54553|D|libbeamng.lua.V.sounds.loadSoundFiles|loading sound files from:vehicles/van/sounds/ 168.54713|D|libbeamng.lua.V.sounds.loadSoundFiles|loaded 5 sounds from directory vehicles/van/sounds/ 168.55128|D|SFXProfile::_createBuffer|Loading SFX: vehicles/common/sounds/V8_600rpm.ogg (2 channels, 48 kHz, 1.88 sec, 351 kb) 168.55450|E|SFXProfile:nAdd|SFXProfile(LuaSoundProfile1_1443016631):nAdd: The preload failed! 168.55457|D|SFXProfile::_createBuffer|Loading SFX: vehicles/common/sounds/V8_600rpm.ogg (2 channels, 48 kHz, 1.88 sec, 351 kb) 168.55738|E|SFXSound::_create|SFXSound::_create() - Could not create device buffer! 168.55742|E|SFXSystem::createSource|SFXSystem::createSource() - Failed to create sound!

Try making a folder in documents/BeamNG.drive/mods/vehicles/van/sounds. Put the sbeam file in this folder. If that folder dose not exist create it. Also try putting the sounds in the same folder as the sbeam instead of vehicles/common/sounds/. Then chnage the path in the sbeam to match the new path. hope this helps.
