Sounds: engine startup possible?

[Blackknight.au 0]

Just wondering if it would be possible (and if so how) to have a seperate sound for say starting the engine of a vehicle and then another sound for shutdown? The biki has engine and environ entries but no startup and shutdown.

If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

edit: had a look at the SH2 SeaSprite and it has these lines in the config:

class CfgSounds {

class engineon {

sound = {"\SH2\EngineStart.wav", 0.050000, 1};

name = "engineon";

titles = {};

};

class engineoff {

sound = {"\SH2\EngineShut.wav", 0.050000, 1};

name = "engineon";

titles = {};

};

};

Now rather than editing the configs for every vehicle to use a startup and shutdown sound, can this be done in a particular sound mod config?

Very interesting.

it can easily be done via scripting: engineOnEH

Yes, SLX mod has a feature where you must wait for your engine to start before the vehicle can move.

This feature in SLX is a separate pbo which seems to work as a standalone... I'm using a few of the SLX pbo's without its main config - the "slx_enginestart.pbo" is one of them and I can confirm it works on its own... theres also a slight delay factor since I think the start sound sample has to finish before the engine actually starts...

SLX is well worth checking out anyway... a few of the individual pbo's seem to work OK on their own if you try SLX full deal and decide its not for you...

Hope this helps...
