[GPL] Shift Sounds

Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the shift sound in GPL? The ker klunk? Now that I have an Act-Labs shifter, it provides the sound when I shift (a Real Life ker klunk, that is). Unfortunately, GPL provides the shift sound about .25 sec later also. Grateful for any suggestions, MRSisson -- LOAD "GPL",8,1 RUN

Simply open up the sound.dat file (using Winmip, for example), open the appropriate .wav in Sound Editor and reduce the volume to zero. Then save it. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Michael R Sisson <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MPG.14c31929f298f973989694@news... > Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the shift sound in GPL?

Let me know if you don't have a sound recorder/editor, and I'll send you a 0-volume WAV to blank it out. Kendt Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

Thanks for the speedy replies! All done, no more shift sound supplied by GPL. For anyone wanting to do this and not being sure of what to do, this is what I did : Downloaded an effects package off of the Pits. Extracted just the 'gearshift.wav' to the GPL sounds directory. Used the sound recorder utility provided with Windows (Start/Programs/Accessories/Entertainment). Loaded up the wave, then decreased the volume repeatedly. Saved. Again, thanks for the help gents.

Hmmm.......My experience was that Meatwater's patch had an excessively loud shift sound. Also the meatwater Lotus sound seems to loop annoyingly. I don't really care for the delayed shift sound either. The RS shifter is fairly loud when it clunks home. -- Chris "Ambulater" Lee "Don't Bother Running.........You'll Just Die Tired."

or... you could look to different games for a totally new sound i pulled one of the turbo bangs off of rally champ. some may think its out of place but i'm quite happy with it. and as a bonus, if you match the rpm with the gear speed, little or no noise will occur (the games like that any how but sounds cool my way).
