SMS File Help Please

[advut]

I downloaded Renfe 333 sounds. But, in ORTS these sounds are too quiet. The sound files are loud enough. So, I can't just edit their volume. Please guide me on what I need to adjust in the sms file. I cannot attach the sms file here. Complete package is available on

I tried them, you won't hear any engine sounds unless you turn the wipers on. They used the wiper trigger to do startup and shutdown sounds.

[advut]

Thank you so much!! You are right. How to know these things from the sms file?

[Erick_Cantu]

Well, if you know what triggers do what, you can tell, but I never put wipers in my sounds, so I didn't recognize the triggers when I was browsing the SMS (honestly, I was just looking at the volume curves). It was a matter of hitting every function button in the sim until I found whichever one "started" the engine (I knew it had startup and shutdown sounds from listening to the audio clips).

[advut]

Is there a list of triggers and their functions somewhere? I think ORTS supports engine turn on/off functions so maybe these kind of sms files could be edited to make workarounds like this unnecessary.

Read Chapter 13 of the OpenRails Manual.

So, as far as I can understand from the OR manual the discrete triggers should be 23 & 24 instead of 6 & 7 in this case. Correct?

[Vince]

Yes, if that's what it says in the Manual.

For use in OR, yes. Bear in mind that those sounds were probably made for MSTS, which did not support diesel startup/shutdown.

[advut]

That's ok. I only use OR anyway. The biggest problem of MSTS for me is lack of full widescreen support which remains unsolved till date! Back to the topic, I edited those sms files but I think sounds seem better if I first turn off and then turn on the engine again from F9 train operations window. Maybe more editing is needed or I've made a mistake or OR has some bugs here.
