how do i install a bnsf and up sound file to the tpr defect detector

[train20]

Does any one know how you put a bnsf or a up sound file into the tpr defect detector. so it whould say bnsf defect detector or up defect detector.

Below are 3 defects detectors by LLJ I have in 2006 and that work in 2010. The first two have a file named detmilepost.wav that you might be able to replace with a new recorded wav file of the same file name. For example "Union Pacific Railroad Hensley Arkansas Detector Milepost" instead of simply the current "Detector Milepost" message.

The third one for the Clinchfield RR is already more detailed. It includes a string table with recorded wav files for a number of different locations. I've recorded and added my own wav files to this table and they work. However, you may find it difficult to match the mechanical voices used in the rest of the wav files.

One way to get the "mechanical voice" is to use "Ease of Access" in Windows>text to speech (narrator). You can write a script, and have the computer speak it out as you record it...It isn't perfect, but might work as a quick, free, replacement.

Try the Jointed Rail detector. This thing sounds exactly like the real ones when set up. If the link does not wok for you, make sure you are logged in.

do the jointed rail one say up detector mile post 741.65 and after the train pass goes up detector mile post 741.65 train speed axe count weather up detector out.

I did not know this JR one was out there. I downloaded it and tried it in 2010. There are two detectors in the CDP/Pack. I only set one of them up. I set it for two different railroads (UP & CP) but it never announced the railroad. I does all the other stuff except the weather.

find a bnsf and up sound from the trainz tpr download station can i use these in the defect detector

 

[torino72]

Probably not, if these are the same old 2004 TPR files I have. There is only one wav file and it goes something like "UP Detector no defects detector out". That file would not work well with any of the other detectors discussed above because they use multiple wav files with small tid-bits of data played in sequence. You are probably going to have to use what you can get or record your own wav files to get the specific RR name into the sound and still get the remainder of the data (MP, axle count, occasional hot boxes, etc.).

be sure to save the settings with the session in order to keep things like the railroad name.

NS37: All settings are saved in the session in 2010. Everything works fine except that the RR announcement does not work. The surveyor setting shows the RR name but the sound does not play. Its no big deal to me if it works for everyone else.
