After extensive research I have finally found the siren strings for ELS and all but two siren tones are now working in-game!

 

They seem correspond to the OpenIV assigned names but they have the beginning part of the string added. These were all found by me personally through research and experimenting, so you're welcome (also would appreciate this being a pinned topic for others to find). From what I gather the string is basically referring to the location of the siren file in the game's archive ('RESIDENT' being the RESIDENT.rpf and 'VEHICLES' being vehicles.awc, followed by the siren name). Strangely, the siren names identified by OpenIV for the main LSPD tones and the Sheriff Granger tones don't work so I will need help with that. Anyway, enjoy!

 

 

LSPD Main Police Siren:

"VEHICLES_HORNS_SIREN_1" - Police Primary

("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_PA20A_WAIL" doesn't work for some reason)
"VEHICLES_HORNS_SIREN_2" - Police Secondary

("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_2" doesn't work for some reason)

Firetruck Siren:

"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_FIRETRUCK_WAIL_01" - Firetruck Primary
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_FIRETRUCK_QUICK_01" - Firetruck Secondary

Police Bike Siren:

"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_WAIL_03" - Police Bike Primary
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_QUICK_03" - Police Bike Secondary

Sheriff (Granger) Siren:

"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_WAIL_04" - Sheriff (Granger) Primary

"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_QUICK_04" - Sheriff (Granger) Secondary

^ These two aren't working for some reason

FIB Siren:

"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_WAIL_02" - FIB Primary
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_QUICK_02" - FIB Secondary

Ambulance Siren:

"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_WAIL_01" - Ambulance Primary
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_QUICK_01" - Ambulance Secondary

Siren Warning/Priority Tones:

"VEHICLES_HORNS_POLICE_WARNING" - Police Warning

("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_POLICE_WARNING" doesn't work for some reason)
"VEHICLES_HORNS_AMBULANCE_WARNING" - Ambulance Warning

("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_AMBULANCE_WARNING" doesn't work for some reason)

Siren Horns:

"SIRENS_AIRHORN" - Airhorn

("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_AIRHORN_EQD" doesn't work for some reason)
"VEHICLES_HORNS_FIRETRUCK_WARNING" - Firetruck Horn

("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_FIRE_TRUCK_HORN" doesn't work for some reason)

 

 

My three requests are:

1. Why are a few of them not working, particuarly the Sheriff Granger ones? Could someone with knowledge help?

2. Can we get an AI Sirens mod that makes the AI change siren tones based on the vehicle's VCF siren setup?

3. Is there any way to remove the pitch filters that are applied to some of the sirens? (e.g. the ambulance and fire truck sirens in-game are lower pitched than the actual file itself)

 

 

Cheers everyone.

Hmm...sooo i kinda get it?lol...So my main siren for police4 does not work only the secondary; how do I go about this sir?

@TheHC09 Holy shit you're a savior, I've been wanting to know these hashes in a long time! THANKS!

Think there's any possibility of creating a sirens.awc and having just siren tones in it (probably more than are allotted for vanilla sirens) rather than putting them in the vehicles.awc? Doing so might also get around the change in pitch that you get with the FIB siren

SO HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS WORK AS THEY DONT WORK WHEN ADDED TO ELS

 

CHEERS

I don't know if this means anything, but you can try asking someone on the RDE discord for help. They know about ELS.

What did you name the sound files to in order to work?  I renamed the audio files I wanted for firetruck to the same thing you have in the VCF, but it still uses my default tones for police.

 

Does it actually work for you?  Having fire sirens for firetruck and police sirens for police?

I believe the strings are set within the game engine and so that wouldn’t be possible. I did think this at first too but was proved wrong by putting in the updated OpenIV main LSPD siren strings and them not working.

I would ensure you have got a brand new copy of the vehicles.oac with the updated string names and then input the ones I have listed into the VCF. You can mix and match tones, there are pretty much no limits.

Does anybody have the Hash codes to replace these with modded sirens? Have been attempting for weeks to get the PA2000SM Rumbler from Modern Siren Pack to work, but it either reverts back to the base game siren or the modded siren i had previously.

If this is from Lundy's post from 2015, those hashes don't seem to work (for me at least) for some reason. Have replaced both FIB sirens with the Rumbler i want, and still get in game sirens.

Is there some sort of limit set for the audio files to play?

Are you sure you've replaced them in the mods folder? Did you edit the .xml files for the FIB hashes? They do work, you have it installed wrongly.

I have installed and re-re-installed in the mods folder. However, i will double and triple check.

I should because i did a full re-install of everything in my game and 'favorite' marked the locations in OpenIV.

Make sure the you put RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_WAIL_02 and RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_QUICK_02 in the xml file.
