(GPL) a collection of sounds

7 posts by 6 people · 26 Aug 1999 - 30 Aug 1999

Here's a suggestion for GPL sounds. Mike Horton has a collection of sounds ([link lost in import] where you can click on then and listen. Unfortunately, there is no way to download them that I know of. Go check out his "Other Downloads\Sounds section to have a better Idea of what I'm talking about. It would be a big help if there was a page to go to with a list of Engine sounds, Skid sounds ect, ect,. next to them would be a brief description, and next to that a link to play them, and next to that a link to down load them. This way we can test the each sound out to see if we like this one or that one better. Then, when we find the one we like, we can download them. The reason why I'm suggesting this is because I was dumb enough to not back up the sounds I had before using that installer from Mea***er's sound pack. Since these sounds are not what I want, I have to go out and find the one's I was using and re-edit them again. If I was able to hear Mea***er's sounds before hand, I wouldn't have downloaded them and I would still have my original sounds.

Agreed, I won't install any sounds in a sim until I can hear them first. don [|]-(_)-[|]

The problem with that idea is that if you play the wav file it doesn't sound as it will in the game. I have installed a few sounds that sounded great as wavs but weedy as *** in the game. But the great way GPL is programmed means that with the carsound patch (or without it if you don't mind your eagle and lotus sounding the same etc) you can just rename any wav file eag.wav lot.wav fer.wav bra.wav brm.wav cov.wav or mur.wav and just stick it in the sound folder. If you don't have carsound patch you need different names e.g. ferrari.wav, cosworth.wav Stay away from installers!!! Tim L

You can download them as you would any other "live" file. The author even has the download instructions at the top of the page!!!!!! Marc.

Knowing that problem I started to write down all patches I use for a game, and put this small paper into the CD-cover. Next time no search.
