[Tutorial] How to make different sounds per exhaust

With the new 10.0 update you can have different sounds depending on the engine, but I wanted to take this further and make it so different exhausts change the sound. And now, after almost an hour of trial and error, I figured out how!

To start, go to the vehicle_exhaust.jbeam. You will see something like this:

Code:

"vehicle_exhaust": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"BeamNG",
        "name":"Exhaust",
        "value":000,
    }
    "slotType" : "vehicle_exhaust",
    "flexbodies": [
         ["mesh", "[group]:", "nonFlexMaterials"],
         ["vehicle_exhaust", ["vehicle_exhaust"]],
    ],

Inbetween the "slotType" and "flexbodies" lines you have to paste this line:

Code:

"soundConfig": "soundConfig",

So now it should look something like this:

Code:

    "slotType" : "vehicle_exhaust",
    "soundConfig": "soundConfig",
    "flexbodies": [
         ["mesh", "[group]:", "nonFlexMaterials"],
         ["vehicle_exhaust", ["vehicle_exhaust"]],
    ],

Now you need to add this line after the "flexbodies" section:

Code:

"soundConfig": {
        "sampleName": "Folder Name",
        "mainGain": -2,
        "maxLoadMix": 0.8,
        "minLoadMix": 0,
        "eqLowGain": -15,
        "eqLowFreq": 100,
        //"eqLowWidth": 0.05,
        "eqHighGain": -5,
        "eqHighFreq": 6000,
        //"eqHighWidth": 0.1,
        //"eqFundamentalGain": -5,
    },

It doesn't matter what the values are, but something like the ones above should work nicely.
Now the whole thing should look like this:

Code:

"vehicle_exhaust": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"BeamNG",
        "name":"Exhaust",
        "value":000,
    }
    "slotType" : "vehicle_exhaust",
    "soundConfig": "soundConfig",
    "flexbodies": [
         ["mesh", "[group]:", "nonFlexMaterials"],
         ["vehicle_exhaust", ["vehicle_exhaust"]],
    ],
    "soundConfig": {
        "sampleName": "Folder Name",
        "mainGain": -2,
        "maxLoadMix": 0.8,
        "minLoadMix": 0,
        "eqLowGain": -15,
        "eqLowFreq": 100,
        //"eqLowWidth": 0.05,
        "eqHighGain": -5,
        "eqHighFreq": 6000,
        //"eqHighWidth": 0.1,
        //"eqFundamentalGain": -5,
    },

You will also need to remove the same lines from the engine.jbeam file so that this works.

If there are any questions or problems I will happily answer them.
