F1RS sound files

Does anyone know how to modify the in-car engine sound in F1RS? I would like more base to feed my seat-shaker. I've found some WAV files installed on my hard drive (full instalation) but none seem to affect the in-car sound. Am I missing something or is the in-car sound generated elsewhere? Thanks in advance, Geoff

Geoff, what you want to do should be rather easy. You'll need a util like CoolEd, this works great with the particular file you'll be working on. The file your looking for is in F1RS/F1DATAB/RESSON and is called bnk_0.bnm. When opening the file with CoolEd choose the "all files" option. When asked the sample rate select 22/16bit/mono. You'll now be able to play the file and you'll hear all the sounds that are in the game. Edit away :) I replaced the sound that you hear when downshifting with silence, that one really got on my nerves. I cant see why you wont be able to select a particular portion, like the engine sound, and make it more basey. Let us know if you find a good engine sound. Good luck. Tony p.s. Thanks go to Roland for finding the bnk_0.bnm file.

While we're on this subject, does anyone know of a good sound editor (have been using Creative WaveStudio, but doesn't work that well) that can actually merge/mix two sounds together? Need it actually for ICR2.... -John :|:

Take a look at the forum at http://www.f1racingsim.com/ it`s all explained there about how to change the sounds in F1RS.

You should try Cool Edit Pro, it probably one of the best and you can mix multiple wav's together! http://www.syntrillium.com Brian ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I Seek You #: 280700 ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
