[REL] Sound Fixes Pack

[Drive Safely]

August 5, 2021
v21.56

Implemented smoother transitions for rain sound intensity.
New variations in sound of the standalone air horn (does not apply to the in-cabin view).

With certain camera views, the standalone air horn can be used creatively to output a different sound.
This includes:
1. Quickly using the horn
2. Laying on the horn
3. Using 1 air horn rather than 2
4. Taking advantage of the doppler effect, tunnels, or from being further away from your truck

Ending of each trailer brace rotation sound now has another possible variation.

===================================================================

August 4, 2021
v21.54

Minor adjustment to trailer brace rotation sound for lifting trailer leg.
Improved consistency for trailer brace rotation sound volume for the reefer trailer sound addons.
Optimizations for sound files without quality loss.

===================================================================

August 3, 2021

Engine sounds added for the Volvo XC90 (1st generation, pre-facelift) in AI traffic.

Pack updated to v21.57 with the following change:

After an amazing discovery, the reefer / refrigerated trailer sounds have been updated to include a highly requested change:
By extending the functionality of the wind sounds, the reefer trailer sound can now play while driving.

It's still a workaround since it's not a standard feature in the game yet, but until then we can pioneer the sound this way!
Previous trailer mods that activate the reefer sounds from this pack in 1.41 are forwards compatible with this update.
This feature is optional and requires activation by a reefer sound addon or trailer mod to enable the sound.

Some content creators have kindly previewed these sounds so you can understand the quirks and how the reefer sound works, which are really important to understand, since after all it's a workaround.
Clumsy's video explains the quirks very well:




There are also some short form videos from Milan and A. P. 101 Gaming.




(small correction from the video, you can use other sound mods with this combination, just not other wind noise mods)

Important information to take note from this new change:

- This relies on the wind sound to "carry" the reefer sound once you drive, so other wind noise mods won't be compatible.
- "Noise of the flowing air" must be activated in the Audio settings.
- Due to the way the wind sounds are optimized in game, it cannot sustain the reefer sound at 0 km/h for long.
- The reefer sounds should kick back in once you set off, however.
- The Trailer Noise slider controls the sound volume of the reefer startup noise and sound loop of a new cycle.
- The Truck Noise slider controls the sound volume of the reefer sound loop when driving.
- It is recommended to have both sliders at the same volume (50%) for consistency.
- If you want to take a break and keep the reefer idling such as when you are at a truck stop:
Simply disconnect and reconnect the trailer to reactivate the cycle.
This will allow you to hear the reefer when you are idle or parked. It can be a relaxing white noise this way.

Regarding what the refrigerated trailer sound can be confirmed to work with:

✓ Freight Market: Confirmed to work.
✓ External Contracts: Confirmed to work.
✓ Quick Jobs: Can work, but you need to disconnect and reconnect the trailer to start the cycle.
Ownable Trailers: Not applicable.

Now when you're close to a train, you can really get a sense of the wear and tear and the stresses on the rails. More in the diagram and change notes below.

Compatibility notice:
The new unique train sound may be only partially compatible with train mods replacing default locomotive definitions.

If you prefer longer trains, put the other train mod in higher priority, although the sound will fallback to default.
If you would like the unique sounds, keep the Sound Fixes Pack in higher priority, although the train length will be as default.

For map mods enforcing long train lengths, it is recommended to ensure locomotive definitions are standalone for the best compatibility.

Update is ready! This was supposed to be released a few days later than today for the mod's 6th year anniversary but I was caught by surprise with the wonderful news of mod support for Convoy in 1.42. That's okay, we can celebrate a little early.

Thank you SCS! Not only can you use Sound Fixes Pack in a multiplayer setting for the first time ever, but there's also compatibility for the mod for two simultaneous game versions for the first time in a long time. This is because the changes between the major game versions aren't too major.



I have tested the mod in Convoy and the sounds are definitely working and stable aside from the open beta bugs. I do not know if the standalone air horn is heard by other players yet with the custom sound though.

There are a batch of changes for this anniversary update. One I'd like to highlight is the default low air warning sound replacement. It's a much fancier sound in cases where you don't have a custom low air warning sound for your truck.

October 1, 2021
v21.78

Horn sound added for the Volvo XC90 (1st generation, pre-facelift) in AI traffic.
