Vehicle sound fx.

#1 You'd add that to the vehicle data block in the engineSound variable like:

engineSound = SoundfxEngine;

#2 I tryed that before but i get an error "out of bound value" when loading the mission.
Also tryed SoundfxEngine=engineSound, no error but still no engine sound.
Thx.

#3 That might have something to do with you using the number 6 for the type.

Try 2, the SimObject Type.

#4 Got it to work :)
I placed the audioProfile in car.cs instead of audioprofiles.cs.
Thx for the help Anthony.

#5 It's better with "DATABLOCK" instead of "NEW".

DATABLOCK sounds are transmitted through the net.

DATABLOCK AudioDescription(AudioClosestLooping3d)
{
volume = 1.0;
isLooping= true;

is3D = true;
ReferenceDistance= 5.0;
MaxDistance= 30.0;
type = $SimAudioType;
};

DATABLOCK AudioProfile(SoundfxEngine)
{
filename = "~/data/sound/testing.wav";
description = "AudioClosestLooping3d";
preload = true;
};

#6 I am having problems getting my engineSound code to work as well. Here is my code:

datablock AudioProfile(enginesoundprofile)
{
filename = "~/data/sound/my_sound_effects/carengineidle.ogg";
description = AudioLooping2D;
preload = true;
};


datablock WheeledVehicleTire( BoxCarTire )
{
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/vehicles/boxwheeled/boxcartire.dts";

staticFriction = 10.0;
kineticFriction = 6.5;

longitudinalForce = 6000;
longitudinalDamping = 400;
longitudinalRelaxation = 1;

lateralForce = 6000;
lateralDamping = 400;
lateralRelaxation = 1;
};

datablock WheeledVehicleSpring( BoxCarSpring )
{
force = 3000;
damping = 600;
antiSwayForce = 1000;

length = 1;
};


datablock WheeledVehicleData(BoxCar)
{
category = "baseVehicles";
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/vehicles/boxwheeled/boxcar3mtpoints.dts";//used to be boxcar.dts
emap = false;

mountable = true;
swappable = false;

mountPose[0] = "sitting";
mountPose[1] = "sitting";
mountPose[2] = "sitting";
numMountPoints = 3;//used to be 1

maxSteeringAngle = 0.785;
integration = 4;

mass = 200;
drag = 0.6;
bodyFriction = 0.6;
bodyRestitution = 0.4;

engineTorque = 5000;
engineBrake = 500;
brakeTorque = 2000;
maxWheelSpeed = 55;

cameraDefaultFov = 90.0;
cameraMinFov = 45.0;
cameraMaxFov = 120.0;

cameraMinDist = 45.0;
cameraMaxDist = 60.0;

observeThroughObject = true;
useEyePoint = false; //used to be false

minLookAngle = -1.57;
maxLookAngle = 1.57;
maxFreelookAngle = 2.1;

cameraOffset = 5.0;


minImpactSpeed = 1;
groundImpactMinSpeed = 100;
groundImpactShakeAmp = "1.0 1.0 1.0";
groundImpactShakeDuration = 0.1;
groundImpactShakeFalloff = 10.0;
groundImpactShakeFreq = "4.0 4.0 4.0";
jetSound = enginesoundprofile;
};

#7 I have tried everything I can think of. Using .wav instead of .ogg - that just causes a fatal error.
using different types of audioDescriptions, amplifying the sound's volume in Audacity, trying to play sound effect files i know work in other places in code here - they don't work for jetSound either, changing jetSound to engineSound

What am I doing wrong?
