Sound modification tutorial
Below is a tutorial for modifying "AMS2 mods sounds"
- First you need to download the Pcarstools software
- Secondly you need to extract the .bff files from the car you want to recover the sound file from. here is an example command line to use
X:\publish\x64\pcarstools_x64.exe pak -i "Y:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Automobilista 2\Pakfiles\Vehicles\xxxxxxxxxxx.bff" -g "X:\publish\x64" -o X:\publish\x64
replace the "X" and "Y" with the letters of your hard drive and the name of the bff file you want to extract - Thirdly search for .cdsbin file in extracted files
- Fourth, move the .csdbin file into the directory of the vehicle whose sound you wish to modify and rename it with the same name as the file you wish to replace (rename the original to .csdbin.bak)
- Fifth modify the sound to your liking
Here are the settings you can play with, I advise you to use software like HxD which is very easy to useEditing csdbin files (Hexadecimal)
0x040-0x043 = EngineVolume (Don't work)
0x044-0x047 = EngineFrequencyMultiplier (change of tone)
0x048-0x04B = EngineRevRangeMultiplier (change of the engine red zone)
0x04C-0x04F = TurboVolume
0x050-0x053 = TransmissionVolume
0x054-0x057 = TransmissionFrequencyMultiplier
0x058-0x05B = SurfaceVolume
0x05C-0x05F = JetstreamVolume
0x060-0x063 = SurfaceFrequencyMultiplierFront
0x064-0x067 = SurfaceFrequencyMultiplierRear
0x068-0x06F = SurfaceGripNormOverride
0x070-0x073 = SurfaceSlipSpeedMultiplier
0x074-0x077 = BrakesVolume
0x078-0x07B = GearChangeVolume
0x07C-0x07F = ExhaustSplutterVolume
0x080-0x083 = ExhaustSplutterRatio
0x084-0x087 = ExhaustBackfireVolume
0x088-0x08B = ExhaustBackfireRatio
0x08C-0x08F = BrakeSquealVolume
0x090-0x093 = BrakeTemperatureMin
0x094-0x097 = BrakeTemperatureMax0x24C-0x24F = Front/Rear balance Sound (if you play in 5.1 you can take a car sound with the engine at the front and transpose it to the rear))
