Hello

So I installed a siren mod this morning and, despite following all the steps, the default siren sound didn't get replaced. Then I tried to rename the main siren sound file to SIREN_PA20A_WAIL, which is the default GTA siren for LSPD cars, but the siren became mute.

 

I don't have ELS, I don't know if that's the problem.

 

EDIT: I forgot to say that yelp and phaser do get replaced, but not wail.

I installed this one. I did some research and found that some GTA update changed the siren sound name from 0x0... to SIREN_PA20A_WAIL and the horn from 0x0... to AIRHORN_ECQ or something like that. So I changed the files names but all the sirens got muted in the game.

When I replaced the music files for the loading intro to the game I had to do something like extract OAC files, replace the media files in the folder with the sounds I wanted replaced, named them the same thing, replaced them, then put the OAC file back into the spot they were extracted in OpenIV. The siren pack I went for just straight up replaces the RESIDENT.rpf file and was super easy, maybe look out for a pack with this option if you're still having troubles.

Yep, that's what I did. What siren did you install by the way?

I got this mainly for the gun sounds as well but I've changed sirens since and gone back to these. They feel good. Especially when EMS rocks up on siren4.

Alright, I've found that vehicles.awc file has to be under 16.000KB size in order to make the sirens work. I had to mute other sounds with Audacity to reduce size.

Sounds about right
