Engine Sound Configuration

The group of sounds configuration is stored in the "accessory_transmission_data" data.
There are not mandatory events but there are not default events too. Only the defined sounds will be played.
There is array "sounds" which contents specification for the events:

  • retarder
  • gear_grind
  • gear_wrong


Example:
There are configuration files of engines for the "Peterbilt 579" at the folder "\def\vehicle\truck\peterbilt.579\transmission".
Each accessory include @include "sound.sui" file which contents indirect definition of the events:

	sounds: 3
	sounds[]: "retarder|/sound/truck/default/retarder.soundref"
	sounds[]: "gear_grind|/sound/truck/default/effects_gear_grind.soundref"
	sounds[]: "gear_wrong|/sound/truck/default/effects_gear_wrong.soundref"
