Alright, ended up finding a solution. I'm putting together a pack for personal use using other authors' sirens. What I didn't notice was that these authors had used sample rates well above what Rockstar uses in the vanilla sound files. Once I noticed that the files were all in 44.1KHz and 48KHz 16-bit PCM I realized I could dramatically reduce the file sizes by resampling them to 32KHz. It didn't quite do the job but it got me close enough that all I had to do was resample the vanilla train undercarriage sound to 24KHz and was well under the size limit.

I've already tried reverse engineering your mod and I can't figure out how you made the vehicles.awc to begin with. Did you shorten other sounds to make everything fit like everyone suggests, or is there another way around it? Your earlier posts come across to me as you suggesting there's a way to better compress the awc library. For now I'll try dropping the bits-per-sample of the train undercarriage and hope GTA doesn't freak out over the encoding. Not sure what 8-bit will sound like though. 😅

And you do this, how, exactly? Could you provide an example assembly.xml? I've tried the following: Would really appreciate some guidance on how to get it done. I really want to get these sirens I've assembled to work on my client but they go over the size limit; And I'm pretty sure it's due to OpenIV recompressing the entire archive like you said.

Are you willing to release the source code? People would probably be a lot more willing to help if they can see what's going on in your code. Although I understand if you don't want to have to worry about plagarism. It's just that GTA is inherently unstable with mods installed and making the game more stable isn't really a simple thing. If it was simple then the LCPD:FR mod would almost never crash. :P

Excuse the double post, but I just remembered something else I'm having trouble with now. Is there an easy way that I can reposition objects in the pedprops.img such as glasses? Or would I need to use 3DMax or something to readjust it on the skeleton?

Yep, just found that out yesterday. Got desperate and started googling every combination of keywords I could think of till I found it on the SNT post on gtaforums.com. Thanks for the reply though. I feel like a tool for assuming it wasn't anything to do with SNT. :P For anyone else having the same problem, go in your trainer.ini and look for "Modelhats" and change the value.

Would you be able to tell me what I've done wrong here? http://pastebin.com/yaW4jXBg I'm trying to copy the glasses off the m_m_gunnut_p model. It shows up perfectly in OpenIV but Simple Native Trainer only shows the default glasses being available.
