Volume

[abclare]

Is it possible to incresed the volume of the signalmans voice in Activities.

Only by altering the sound settings in options. But turning them up, assuming they are not already on max, can cause other problems. You could try it though.

Hi
You could re-record the wav files.... increasing the volume.

Hi Art,
I presume you refer to the default signalman. This bugged me for ages.
Then came Pat Daltons Skipton 1920s and the replacement signalman wav files.

My soloution was to, open Sound in the Train Simulator Folder locate:
s_perm_01.wav
s_perm_02.wav
s_perm_03.wav

d_perm_01.wav
d_perm_02.wav
d_perm_03.wav

e_perm_01.wav
e_perm_02.wav
e_perm_03.wav

Back all of them up or rename them all ******.wavorig or something.
Use Pats version to replace, first the s_perms.
Then replace the d_perms now rename the 's' to 'd'
Then do the same with the e_perms renaming the 's' to 'e'.

This will give you a Yorkshire accent where ever you run.

If you get it wrong delete the new files, replace the backup or rename the the originals back to ****.wav.

All this assumes you have Pat's Skipton 1920's.

Hi Art,

Seriously it's not that hard.
It will not hurt to look in the Sound file. The names I gave are as the .wavs are named in the file.

Do you know how to get to the Sound file?

Come back where you are not sure and we'll try to go through it.

[abclare]

Hi Doug, Yes i do know that bit

[douglee]

Hi Art,
OK.

Get there and look for these.

s_perm_01.wav
s_perm_02.wav
s_perm_03.wav

Rename these to this

s_perm_01.oldwav
s_perm_02.oldwav
s_perm_03.oldwav

and paste Pats Files into Sound.

Teas up so come back later

Hello Art,

If you are running Windows XP you could use the Windows Sound Recorder (found in Accessories). This lets you open
the sound file and increase its volume (see the effects tab). Once you have got the volume right, you can save the file and it should play at the new volume in MSTS. Might be an idea to make a back up of the original file first, in case the modifications go pear-shaped!

Regards,

Len (another old one)

All this is so complicated is it not possible to increase the volume fron the MSTS Options - Sound?? Is that not what it is there for?????
