Jack Bluebeard Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I don't know if there is a deceleration sound for the other AI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 There should be one, for example when they lift from the ground (after a jump) the engine sound goes much higher. Jack Bluebeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bluebeard Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 But this also happens to the car of the player if you continue accelerating during a jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yes, but that's a different sound from the AI's. Jack Bluebeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nouche 92 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hello guys, I just singned in on the forum . I'm reading all your posts for 1hour now already, and i'm adjusting everything like you said. I just have one little problem. When i want to change the modifications, i mean saving the file, it says that it's impossible to change it. i've got a message who said 'acces denied'. Am i doing something wrong? Or do I need to change the name of the file into something else? Maybe it's because i've downloaded the game online? I can't figure it out . Thanks anyway ! Ps : You're all doing a great job, I always wanted to drive like the demo car and i'm so close to it! ps2: Sorry for my English ^^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickulator Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I just have one little problem. When i want to change the modifications, i mean saving the file, it says that it's impossible to change it. i've got a message who said 'acces denied'.It's probably because you're trying to save it in Program Files. Try copying the LEGO folder somewhere else and do you modifications there. Then eithen copy the LEGO folder back to your LEGO Racers folder, or rebuild the JAM file if your version of the game needs it to run, and copy that across.

alan Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I bet you use Windows Vista? Windows Vista has always trouble with accepting changes in the program files. You can deactivate it somewhere but I only know the names in German, not in English. Ps : You're all doing a great job, I always wanted to drive like the demo car and i'm so close to it! Well, it is not possible for a player to act (drive) like the DEMO car or any other NPC because they are programmed to (a) specific path(s). That's why they seem to stutter a bit in the turns.

Ow I see, but it's always fun to be a little like them. Anyway, just a few modifications can make me happy hehe . Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nouche 92 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 This time, i coul save the file so everything went fine. But now, trying to launch the game, it says that there is an error reading the JAM file. Kind of perturbating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I've never had an error about being unable to read the JAM file, only that legoracers.exe has crashed. Could you go through the exact steps you took? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you go through the exact steps you took? Like said in the beginning of this topic, i just changed some .pcm one by one for being like the AI car. After changing everything, I saved and launched the game. So maybe i'm doing everything wrong, or maybe i changed the bad things? Or maybe i didn't have to change the .pcm in the JAM? I downloaded the game, and i don't seem to have a file called GENERAL. It's called LEGO and when i open it i get a lot of symbols with a couple of .pcm ( that i would adjust later ). I think it's a problem because it's a downloaded version of the game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I understand you changed the PCMs, what I wanted to know was the exact steps you took in doing so and saving the JAM file. Standard procedure would be to: Decompile the .JAM file. Locate the GENERAL.SBK file in GAMEDATACOMMON Rename the PCM files to match the ones you'd like to replace them with. Ensure the file names are spelled exactly the same. Save and close the GENERAL.SBK file. Recompile the .JAM file. Replace the original .JAM file with your new one using the same name. If you've done all this I can't help you any more On a side note, don't speak of illegal copies of games. This forum doesn't deal with them.

Bacon Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Can you like actually add sounds? For example when I'm traveling through the Time Warp could I have 'Do the Hustle' play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Can you like actually add sounds? For example when I'm traveling through the Time Warp could I have 'Do the Hustle' play? That would fall under the Create Custom Audio In LEGO Racers tutorial, as well as finding what the file name for the warp powerup is. However, since the audio tutorial can't create custom music exactly since the TUNs are a custom format, you're results will vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bluebeard Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Resuming at the discussion of the "changing car sound", I would like to add some thinks to the RobExplorien's list of .PCM at page 1. With those that RobExplorien put I add: â— SPUT.PCM â— SPIN.PCM If you want, you can switch sput.pcm with engine.pcm or eengine.pcm. You can delete the spin.pcm too because the AI do not any spinning sound when they are on oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sound seems to be hardcoded anywhere. Maybe anyone can find it? A cool thing with the engine.pcm is that you can insert any other sound there (it has then different pitches, depending on how fast you drive). A cool engine sound is shield2.pcm or shield1.pcm and as idle sound use shield0.pcm. The bad thing about that is the sound that is probably hardcoded and so you still hear the normal engine sound when stopping to accelerate (in german: 'den Wagen rollen lassen'). When you want to change some sounds, make sure they are placed there where you want to have them. For example you want to remove the player's honk and give him redbeard's honk. Then you write horn06.pcm where the player's honk is set (horn01.pcm). So you just change horn01 to horn06 and then you recompile, ... The reason that the deceleration sounds different is because of the sput.pcm entry. This is the sound of the Demo Kahuka's engine. If you wish, you can change this to eengine.pcm if you want to have the AI's engine sound when decelerating as well as accelerating. alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
