FastestClassic+Gnomefather's Engine sounds: KV-4

[Mr_Ekshin]

The KV-4 sounds like a steam locomotive. It has for quite a while now, but I keep forgetting to post about this.

 

Was this sound created for the Steampunk FV4005?

I just looked and there's an optional file to deliberately include the steam engine sound.

Strange that it's installed as default. I thought we had to enable these, like with the French light tank engine sounds.

I'll check my mods later, and up a "custom mod" 7z file to not have the steam engine as default later today.

(Also strange that no one else mentioned that they knew this. Nobody did???)

Hi!

 

At some point, this + the ELC rally car sounds were separated into optional files, but they have been included in the default download to simplify the install process. That being said, I am thinking I will split them off into a separate download after the next update, since I have seen several comments on this (and I have realized that removing the optional files after every update is not exactly convenient 😅).

 

In the meantime, these can be disabled by navigating to <Your WoT install location>\mods\configs\PYmods\soundEventInjector\configs\ and removing these two files:

• Gnome_Zorg_OPTIONAL_ELC_engines.json
• Gnome_Zorg_OPTIONAL_KV-4_Steam_Engine.json

I've always disliked the go-cart sounds for the EVEN 90, and have used the AMX 30 engine sounds. The steam engine sounds are GREAT, but make no sense on the KV-4. They need to be available for the FV-4005, which *has* a steam locomotive 3D skin.

 

If you wish to be even cooler, you could also provide some type of crackling/humming motor sound (+ minor track squeaking) for the Super Conqueror "Jupiter Fulgore" 3D skin, and same sounds for the Udes 15/16 "Vital Spark" 3D skin. (Technically, motors make no real noise, so the sound would be the whine of the transmission + some crackling from cool sci-fi high voltage.)

 

I'd fixed this on my end and forgot to mark it resolved. Sorry. All good now.
