doesnt quite seem to work anymore for me but I dont think it matters a whole bunch since whistle posts exist now lol

haha i know, FINALLY

You did it! We won! Whistle boards are coming with the next patch! :D

Does anybody know how to ad whistles to Franzl's kkstb 310?

Doesn't seem to work for me. Trains still don't whistle when leaving the stations.

What would be cooler is once we switch to 1st person view / cabin view of a running train, the player is presented with the option to sound the horn / blow the whistle.

Oh, Ok

Dude I wish. I've complained enough about that with UG that they probably have me in the system as the guy that wants horns at crossings.

Like I said on here, I've personally suggested a better implementation, whistle posts. That way you could post them near yards, tunnels, crossings of all kinds and some just for the hell of it because dat sweet sound.

But, yeah, not possible...yet.

Awesome mod! I was suggesting if you can make a whistles a railroad crossings

Thank you!

It works for me, thank you.

I want it very much, sadly it's not currently possible

Whistles at Crossings @themeatballhero ? maybe not?

hmmmm I'll have to contact the mod owners and see if they can either add it, or make a seperate duplicate mod with the "doors_close" event triggering the sound file for the whistle. but for specific vehicle mods i could do that.

I use two mods that modify vehicle sounds (Vanilla Vehicle Fixes and Tweaks & TRAIN SOUND MOD 1.71), so I don't know if there's a way of going into those mods and adjusting a single line that would apply the same effect as your mod? That would still leave the vanilla vehicles without whistles in stations, though...

That's very kind of you! I'll have to finish downloading them; I'm reinstalling mods after my steam folder got wiped due to computer issue, so if I get them all installed again I'll let you know!

I mean if you create a list of mods you want it for i could easily do it

I've got a LOT of mods and I am planning on using many locomotive mods; hopefully one day we'll have a version of this that works for all engines easily, without having to edit each and every one by hand!

Thank you very much

just open up the sound config for those mods and add that line in the box

Can you teach me how to make Asian and other Chinese train modules have this function

It's a simple line of code, just didn't think people would want it beyond the states

Hello, when can we support all locomotives？

Well this is such a great Mod, it adds heaps to the atmosphere.

Only works on vanilla American trains

I am trying to add the line of code to a mod that I have downloaded, but it has two events for horn: one in function (data) and the other in function (input). Which one do I put it in?

ok

see below comment

Can you make whistles at crossings?

whistles at level crossings is currently not possible as the models don't use a sound event, they have their own config file. When UG decides to use a soundset for crossings instead, then we could get whistles at crossings. This is simply just a work around and needs to be enabled on a per mod basis

any advance on whistles at level crossings lets face it railways were very noise ridden love em

no because it would need an event on take off. currently theres only a door open event, door close event relating to stations.

Is there any way in the coding to make it a three sound playlist?
That is, the Guard's Whistle sounds first, then the sound of the doors closing, and finally the train horn as it takes off.

@christianfelsner that should be in the sound set lua, below where you see the event for horn.
@ Aksorn there is actually a way to add bells. theres a door open event and a door close event. it sounds like you would want the door close. you would just add it to the passenger car. the locomotive could still produce the whistle. you could also have two different sounds for the same event!

Thanks for this mode. I wish that we could use a modern sound, such as a door closing bell heard in subways or suburban trains

Sorry, but I didn't get it. Where should that Command line above exactly be placed?

not just compatible, but actually makes the model give off a sound. If you'd like a version of the mod with and without the horn, add a second soundset without that line of code and second .mdl linking to the new / second soundset.

So, adding that line of code to a custom soundset makes such soundset compatible with this mod?

Thanks for this!

hmmmmm thats very interesting, and was one of my inital fears, ill take a look in a minute

yes but its working on a few modded ones but not my freight. My P42s are working sometimes but none of my freight locomotives

@stava im not sure! i got a lot of people telling me it works, but it only works on vehicles using the default sound settings. Are you trying to use this on mod trains?

@chucky dickens ive been in talks with the devs about this, but its "on the shelf" at the moment. Its not currently possible as the game is "event" reliant and currently the horn event only works at depots. when the event happens is hard coded in the game.

then comes the problem of the trigger. Currently there are only waypoints and signals. You could maybe get away with horns at every signal, not sure how realistic that would be, but a horn at every waypoint wouldn't be realistic. So that means another whole type of track side item just to trigger a horn.

I want the horn at tunnels and crossings just as much as the next guy, but it wouldn't be as simple as flipping a switch. I do agree, that was my original suggestion when i spoke with the devs. They told me though this wasn't even possible, which this is simply a work around.

doenst seam to be working for me. Does it have tto be at the end of the load order?

Is it possible at all to make a "Whistleboard" mod to trigger whistles at set points on the route?
That is to say, an item you place at trackside, like a waypoint or signal, that the Train will "toot-toot" at when it passes?
This would be a much more realistic solution, methinks, as well as allowing for lots of customisation..!

@mongolteiko yes it seems to be an American thing, which is why it's tagged USA. Originally my description was centered around it being a North American mod but was corrected as apparently some Europeans do have that.

The many times I took Amtrak as a kid it blew the whistle just before leaving the station or as the doors were closing

Yeah! I was so missing these Whistles :) Thanks!

As a train driver myself [UK] we do not blow our 'horns' at stations [only if track workers are working, some enthusiast drivers to spotters and for kids - but that makes some cry from shock! lol]. Would be nice if we had a horn button which we could press and do it when we want to do it.

@marc345 i have no idea, its event dependent and the game would determine when the event happens :/

Sounds good!
