Vehicle Audio Loader

An open-source plugin written in C++ and compiled as an ASI lets you modify
the audio properties of vehicles in game. Works for standard vehicles as well as for added vehicles.
Thus the tool is useful for modders who add new vehicles to a game.
You are invited to experiment with audio properties and find out what`s the point of unknown values.

Fully compatible with GTA San Andreas v1.0 [US] HOODLUM No-CD Fixed EXE & GTA: San Andreas v1.01 [EURO] No-CD/Fixed EXE
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

***** Installation
- Make sure you are using one of the following gta_sa.exe versions:
1. GTA San Andreas v1.0 [US] HOODLUM No-CD Fixed EXE:
EXE size: 14 383 616 bytes

2. GTA: San Andreas v1.01 [EURO] No-CD/Fixed EXE:
EXE size: 15 806 464 bytes

Vehicle Audio Loader is fully compatible with both of them, 1.0 US and 1.01 Euro No-CD shortly.

- You need to have ASI loader installed, it is already enabled if you installed CLEO Library.
Otherwise you can download ASI loader from here: http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=8321

- Extract all files from "copy to GTA San Andreas from inside" in an archive to root of GTA San Andreas directory.

***** Configuration
- if you want to change properties of vehicles, open data\vehicleAudioSettings.cfg
- Remember names aren`t static. It means you CAN add a new name if you defined a new vehicle in .ide file.
So that vehicle audio loader is useful for people who add new vehicles to a game.

***** Reloading vehicleAudioSettings.cfg
- You need to have CLEO3 or CLEO4 library installed.
You can download it from http://cleo.sannybuilder.com/

Reloading audio settings while game is running is possible thanks to "CLEO\Vehicle Audio Loader Reloader.cs"
Type "VEHAUDIO" in game, message "vehicleAudioSettings.cfg reloaded" will be shown.
Remember to spawn new vehicle each time you want to test changes. Audio settings won't be reloaded for already created vehicles in game.

***** Changes in this version
** 1.2:
- Added CLEO script to reload settings while game is running
- C++ code is better now
- vehicleAudioSettings.cfg couldn't be displayed in Notepad correctly, since it requires "\r\n" instead of single "\n". Fixed

** 1.1:
No visible changes, but source code is more clear.
Also in 1.0 version i mistakenly uploaded Alexander`s Vehicle Special Abilities plugin instead of Vehicle Audio Loader.

***** Request
I invite you to experiment with audio properties and explain unknown parameters called field_ actually.

***** License
- You can share my mod anywhere as long my plugin doesn`t change the author.
- You can share new .dat file with modified properties.

***** Special thanks to:
Alexander Blade - he did a first tools for editing audio properties, i just did it better.
For example Alexander assumed float on +31, what gave unpredictable value, while float is on +32
in structure of VehicleAudioPropertiesStruct
Next thing DoorSound isn`t integer, it is signed char, because it has gotten FF values for some vehicles
which is -1 as signed integer. -1 means undefined, not configured in GTA SA structures and files.
Last thing my vehicle audio loader is 1.0 and 1.01 compatible.

Sounds really tempting, I'm going to give it a one-week test and give results on next weekend.

[fastman92]

In 1.0 version i mistakenly uploaded Alexander`s Vehicle Special Abilities plugin instead of Vehicle Audio Loader.
Now i fixed it.

[zmudziak32]

Sounds good, i'll try this tool, but can you make this tool for Vice City.

[Jacko427]

Will this tool give the ability to cgange the standard SA cars?
I mean not added cars but only changing the engine audio.

I had one by Alexander Blade.
Tho' it's a different tool, I had to choose an engine audio and it will be saved in gta_sa.exe.

EDIT
Ignore the first question.
We can edit the cfg just with notepad?
It's a bit gibberish when opened it with notepad.

It is obviously possible. It is meant to work with both standard and added vehicles if someone had a question whether it will work.
Open data\VehicleAudioSettings.cfg to edit.
If it is standard vehicle, valid line is already available.
For added vehicles you need to choose and copy some existing line and insert it somewhere as a new line. Then edit modelName to name of added vehicle.

Yes, you can. Documentation: http://www.gtamodding.com/index.php?title=...dioSettings.cfg

Request:
Can some of programmers make a nice tool with GUI to edit VehicleAudioSettings.cfg?
Format of that file is pretty simple.

And for GTA III

[fastman92]

I will try, but the problem is i need to locate sound properties in GTA VC, GTA III and it is different.
Once i know where are they it is no problem to write a plugin.
