TS2015: Bombardier M7 Motor Sound Set for Metro-North Kawasaki M8 EMU


Recommended Posts

Hey guys! Welcome to my first successful real time recording of my TS2015 development work. During these 4 hours, I show you the in depth process of creating motor sound code from what is basically scratch. We start off with the code structure from my pre-existing M8 motor sound mod, and slowly but surely morph it into a fully functional and accurate M7 motor sound set. I realize that 4 hours is pretty long, so just to make sure you know what you're watching me do, here is a rough table of contents:
0:00 - 19:14 -- Showing the M8 motor sound set before modification and setting up the New Haven Line for the BETA runs.
19:14 - 2:10:46 -- Major proxyxml coding modifications are made to the existing M8 motor sound proxyxml file to turn it into the M7 motor sound proxyxml file.
2:10:46 - 2:19:05 -- Setting up file structure and prepping for BETA test rounds.
2:19:05 - 3:53:30 -- BETA test runs are conducted in order to iron out any inaccuracies / "impurities" in how the sound pack performs. Lots of minor coding adjustments and tweaks are done in order to increase accuracy and test functionality.
3:53:30 - 4:09:40 -- Packaging the mod pack to RWA standards and uploading to Mediafire.
4:09:40 - 4:11:00 -- Opening Windows Live Movie Maker to begin rendering this long ass development tutorial video...#inception
 
Thanks for watching and I hope some of you up and coming developers can learn something useful from this. Enjoy =D
 
Keep reading below for the release video and the download link.

This is the Bombardier M7 EMU Motor Sound Pack for the DTG Metro-North Kawasaki M8 EMU.
 
In order to utilize this freeware physics & sound upgrade, you must have purchased the Metro-North Kawasaki M8 EMU Add-On available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/258647/
 
This is a freeware pack; in no way is it to be used for commercial purposes unless authorized via prior contact. I can be reached at mikejkam@gmail.com.
 
The purpose of this pack is to create M7 motor sounds for use in the M8. This also means that authentic M7 motor sounds exist should DTG ever create the M7 EMU.
 
 
IMPORTANT; Install Instructions
 
1. Proceed to open folders until your directory reads "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\M8Pack01\". 
3. Then open the "Bombardier_M7_EMU_Motor_Sound_Pack_for_DTG_Metro-North_Kawasaki_M8_EMU.rar" file.
4. Highlight all folders in the .rar file and drag them into the file directory from step 1.
5. Click "OK" when if asks you to Confirm File Copy. 
6. The installation should be complete. Run TS2015 to confirm.
 
User Manual:
It is important to note that upon the installation of this mod, the M8 train will default to using M7 motor sounds. I have provided backup file folders for BOTH M7 and M8 motor sounds so that the user can switch between the two. Follow the instructions below to perform the sound switch:
1. Open the following directory: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\M8Pack01\Audio\RailVehicles\Electric\M8\Motors"
1a. You should see two file folders: "Bombardier M7" & "Kawasaki M8".
1b. Located inside those folders are all the necessary files for each respective motor sound set.
2. Once you've chosen the sound set you want to run with, enter the respective folder and copy all files within (CTRL + C).
3. Proceed back to the directory from step 1 and paste the copied files (CTRL + V). Overwrite if asked.
4. The sound set swap should be complete. Run TS2015 to confirm.
 
Thank you for downloading and installing.
Enjoy =)
