Why Can't I Get Any Ambient Sounds?

[Railroader1970]

I downloaded some ambient sound fx from the DLS for the tranquil background noise of the boonies in the middle of no where. So I put some of those sfx on my route and save the route. Yet when I play the session, I don't hear anything. Are those ambient sounds for TS10 and earlier versions because I have TS12. I'm looking for birds for the day and crickets for the night. Any suggestions?

I made a sound like that for my coming DLC release that plays birds during day and crickets at night.

This awesome thing was something that was in the early versions of Trainz, from Trainz v1 to somewhere around TRS2006.

Did you do a YouTube vid on it, because I saw I video that showed what ambient sfx sounded like during the day and then at night. I downloaded those, yet I didn't hear anything during the session. Is there a reason for raising and lowering those yellow ambient pillars?

No I didn't, this is what I done instead tho.

I still have installed TRS2004 and I open the American Plains route (City and Country USA) and copied the script part for the sound part. From there, I added my own files and adjusted accordingly to my taste. Here is the code of making it work (since it appears you have a Mac and not any of the early versions of Trainz installed) in the config file:

soundscript
{
morning
{
ambient 1
value-range 1,0.1
volume 0.5
distance 10,400

sound
{
0 "day1.wav"
}
}

night
{
ambient 1
value-range 0,0.9
volume 0.5
distance 10,400

sound
{
0 "night.wav"
}
}
}

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
