Vehicle Missing Sound Fix With Optional Increased Sound Distance
This mod is meant to fix a bug in the game that prevented the sound of a vehicle from playing from any vehicle approaching at a distance driven by another player. To do this I added a constant Idle sound that plays in addition to the normal vehicles sounds as long as a player is driving the vehicle. Only the constant Idle sound will be heard from the vehicle by other players since the normal vehicle sounds like acceleration and max speed are not always heard.
The point of this mod is some sound is better than no sound at all. No more completely silent gyrocopters or other vehicles sneaking up on you. The distance of which you can hear them has no changed and the sound gets quieter the further it is.
In an optional download I have increased the distance in which vehicles are heard by other players (Varies by Vehicle) and lowered the sound distance of the bicycle to 50 meters. (Makes no sense to hear someone pedaling a bike from far away... pedaling is not that loud) Chose ONE of the file downloads to install, do not have both installed at the same time.
If you want to customize the sound distances then edit <distantfadestart name="CHANGE ME!"/> and <distantfadeend name="CHANGE ME!"/> in the sounds.xml
Make sure you set both of them to the same distance for whatever distance you want, currently only works from 0-1000 meters.
Current Sound Distances
Bicycle = 50m
Minibike = 300m
Motorcycle = 500m
4x4 = 400m
Gyro = 1000m
