Is It Possible...

[ZombLee 94]

Hey guys,

So I downloaded a very nice Federal Signal SS2000 with rumbler siren mod for my game, as I'm trying to get as close to the NYPD as possible, whilst still keeping everything Liberty City, as the LCPD and Liberty City itself is modeled directly after New York City.

The siren mod is outstanding, sounds perfect, however, it's a bit quiet. Of the other SS2000 siren mods I've tried, this one is the most realistic, it's just too low in volume. I was wondering if it's possible to up the volume of it a bit. Of course, I don't know how this is possible, and sadly I haven't found a way to edit the Horns.IVAUD file.

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows!

I'm not familiar with the mod, but a good place to check is in the .ini file. That's usually where any definable settings are.

Unfortunately, because this is a sound mod that replaces files using programs like SparkIV or OpenIV, it doesn't install with an .ini file like a script would or something.

Unless there's an .ini file within the Horns.ivaud file? I'll have to check. Thank you for the suggestion!

Another thing you can do is export the .ivaud and use the ivaud editor to extract the sounds as an .wav or whatever (it's been a while since I edited sounds) then use a sound editor to beef up the sound, then just put it back in.

Hmm, I'll have to give that a go, Faracus! Thank you very much. I've never edited sounds at all before, so I'll definitely have to give that a shot!

Word of caution, when you click on a sound with the IVAUD editor it will play the sound, and if your wearing headphones and are not expecting it, then it will cause you to jump as I have found out from experience. ^.^

Try something called audacity. I dont remember how i turned the volume up but it is very much possible. :-) See if you can find a youtube tutorial.
