Modding engine sounds in MW

Post by darknight788 »

i found a topic like this on NFSUG2 but not one on MW so i figured i would shed some light on this. It is possible to change the engine and turbo sounds for each car in most wanted. if you go to where most wanted is installed and go to sounds there will be two folders in there called Engine and Turbo. if you look around in the engine folder you will see files for cars like 350Z, Ferrari, Honda S2000, BMW M5, Diablo, various TVR's and so on. For example i changed the sound of the viper. fisrt of all make a backup of the entire folder. what i did witht he viper is i found two files called ferrari 360 ( there will be two files one ending in DCL ) i copied the two ferrari files to desktop and renamed them GIN_Viper_A.gin and GIN_Viper_A_DCL.gin make sure you keep the DCL ones the same. then just move those into the engine folder and it will ask if you want to replace the original files with the new ones and select yes. Now the viper will have a deeper tone and i think it sounds alot cooler 8) . to give the viper a more pronounced supercharger go to the turbo file and find the file TURBO_EXOTIC_2_MB.abk and copy it to your desktop and then rename it to TURBO_SC_GENERIC_MB.abk and do the same thing as before. now the viper will have a little louder whine form the supercharger. these are not the only files that you can replace you can mix and match them like takng the TURBO_EXOTIC_2_MB.abk file and also rename it to TURBO_SC_MBZ_MB.abk and the SL500 and the SLR and any other mercedes with a supercharger will have a very loud whistle. The SC in the filenames means it is supercharger. do this at your own risk. as long as you make a backup file you should have no problem and it is not very hard it's just renaming files :wink: sorry for the long post

Pretty sweet man. Thanks for the info. I tryed using the "GIN_Nascar_DCL.gin" but really does not have any varible rpms sounds. Farrari on a gallardo sounds great.

Where did all the other car sounds come from?

ie:
240sx
acura
Vette' Z06
Diablo
ferrari
infiniti g35
prelude
hummer
s2000
....and etc.?

the lancers file could be any of the files in the engine folder just named differently like S2000 for example. thats why i have been looking for a .abk sound player no luck on that though. what i think is a good sound is the viper with the ferrari engine sound. it makes it sound really powerful. another one for the mercedes is the Sl65 engine sound.

hmmm. i never thought about that it would be a good sound for that car somebody should tell him if he already doesn't know. i have to wonder with all the different cars in the engine folder if they were meant to be in the game. that would be some line up except i didn't see the skyline in there

:D maybe the sounds are used for tuned cars, it could bet that a tuned punto in game sounds like a skyline :lol:

edit: i noticed that the ferrari 360 sound is the same as the sound of the ultimate tuned carrera gt

for the turbo you want to look in the turbo folder and look at the TURBO_TUN_--- files a maxed out evo might have one of the TURBO_TUN_MED files then what you want to do is copy a exotic turbo file and rename that to whatever file that lancer is using.
the whole problem is i dont know where to get a .abk player to see what the sounds actually sound like . it would take a very long time to go through every file. all i can say for now is guess and check it's a painfully long process i know but it's the only way i know of :?
