Recently, I was trying to find a way to add some GE Traction Motor sounds to my JR BNSF ES44C4 until I noticed that it actually comes with Traction Motor sounds that are built-in to the game as a dependency on the wheel trucks, but the .wav sound files are corrupted according to the Windows Media Player, Audacity, and TLC Media Player. I downloaded fresh ones from JR's website and imported them to T:ANE, but the files were still corrupted even on the fresh install. I then tried to repair them, to no avail. Does anyone have a fix?
Jointed Rail Traction Motor sounds corrupted?
- Thread starter extracord
- Start date
I was just seeing if a fresh download of the sound files would not appear as corrupted. I wasn't replacing any files, nor actually editing any files. I just installed them into T:ANE because I kind of use it as a testing ground for things, but they were still corrupted. I used Audacity to open them and get a sound out of them, but it's just static.
They are probably encrypted. N3V encrypts the built-in and packaged content in T:ANE because there was/is an issue with piracy.
Try reverting the assets to original and testing them in Driver. Right-click on the asset and choose Revert to original from the menu.
FYI... you did place this in the TRS2022 forum and not the T:ANE forum.
I know I did it in the TRS22 forum because its an issue with the TRS22 built-in files. The Locomotive Traction Motor Sounds are not built in assets in T:ANE, so I installed new files that I just downloaded from JR into T:ANE to see if it was just my TRS22 install being dumb, but they didn't work in T:ANE either. I guess I should've clarified that in the original post. I'll test out your suggestion.

locomotives from JR now are Being made for TRS19 and Above especially the BNSF ES44C4's and anything newer!
Yes, I am aware. I was talking about the sound files that were corrupted in the TRS22 built-in files. I saw that they were corrupted in 22, so I installed them to T:ANE to see if a fresh copy of them would behave normally, but it didn’t seem to work. I know the new locos are for TRS19 SP5 and above, especially when it says in bold red text.
Well, I installed new ones from JR’s website to T:ANE.

Trainz 22 has Version Number of 5.4-5.5 and T:ANE has a Version number of 4.7 hence why the Files corrupted in TANE
The problem is they’re also corrupted in TRS22.

yup working perfectly fine!!
Must be a problem on my end, then. They've been broken since I installed my first JR loco years ago on T:ANE. It turns out that they haven't been working for THAT long.
